The Seattle Seahawks significantly restructured the defensive line this offseason, letting several players go either through free agency or by releasing them outright. In the case of defensive tackle Poona Ford, he stuck around as an available free agent through the NFL Draft, but Seattle obviously didn’t have much interest in re-signing him. Ford agreed to a one-year, $3.25 million contract with the AFC East champion Buffalo Bills, where he joins one of the league’s best defenses and perennial contenders.

At the time of his signing, it was reported that Ford had turned down more money elsewhere to go to Western New York.
