The Buffalo Bills announced three depth signings on Tuesday morning.
The Buffalo Bills announced the signings of quarterback Ben DiNucci, wide receiver Damiere Byrd, and wide receiver Deon Cain on Tuesday morning. The team placed quarterback Shane Buechele and wide receiver Chase Claypool on injured reserve in corresponding roster moves; second-year pass-catcher Bryan Thompson was also designated as waived/injured.Bills vs.
DiNucci’s signing comes after Buechele picked up a neck injury in the Bills’ preseason opener against the Chicago Bears; the ailment, per head coach Sean McDermott, is expected to keep the signal caller sidelined forThe former Dallas Cowboys passer does not project as a realistic roster candidate in Buffalo; he’ll instead soak up reps over the final two weeks of the preseason to prevent starter Josh Allen and backup Mitchell Trubisky from taking unnecessary hits.
Byrd, though he has found some success as a receiver throughout his career, is more likely a special teams signing, as McDermott didn’t seem overly pleased with the team’s return efforts in their preseason opener.
The pass-catcher has since bounced around several teams in several leagues, winning back-to-back USFL and UFL Championships with the Birmingham Stallions in 2023 and 2024. He wasn’t an overly productive offensive contributor throughout the 2023 USFL season, catching 16 passes for 182 yards.
He caught 33 passes for 436 yards and three touchdowns in Birmingham this past season, recording another 280 yards on kick returns. He’ll likely join K.J. Hamler, Daequan Hardy, and the recently signed Byrd in Buffalo’s now-crowded return battle.Sean McDermott partially credits Bills preseason struggles to leadership corps turnover
