BUFFALO, N.Y. -- The Buffalo Bills are continuing last offseason's trend of retaining familiar faces, as the team is planning to bring back defensive end Shaq Lawson on a one-year deal, per a league source. Lawson has not yet signed the deal.
Originally drafted by the Bills with the 19th overall pick in 2016 out of Clemson, Lawson spent two seasons away from the team with two different AFC East competitors -- the Miami Dolphins (2020) and the New York Jets (2021) -- after playing his first four years in Buffalo.
