The Buffalo Bills are reportedly set to sign former Los Angeles Rams safety Terrell Burgess.
The Buffalo Bills are adding further depth to their defensive backfield, as they're set to sign former Los Angeles Rams safety Terrell Burgess, per KPRC2 Houston’s Aaron Wilson. BurgessOnce a well-regarded prospect, Burgess was selected by the Los Angeles Rams in the third round of the 2020 NFL Draft. He appeared in 30 games over parts of three seasons in Southern California, totaling 18 tackles and one pass deflection.
Burgess’ signing comes as a result of a wave of injuries impacting Buffalo’s safety room. The team entered its 2024 training camp with a three-way position battle to determine its starter opposite Rapp; the initial competitors were fourth-year defender Damar Hamlin, offseason signee Mike Edwards, and second-round pick Cole Bishop.and will miss the next several weeks; Bishop picked up an arm injury during Tuesday’s practice, and the extent of his ailment is currently unknown.
Burgess gives the Bills some added depth at the position. It’s also interesting to note that he and the recently injured Bishop share an alma mater; both attended Utah, where they played under head coach Kyle Whittingham and defensive coordinator/safeties coach Morgan Scalley. Perhaps their shared familiarity with that particular scheme played a role in Buffalo’s interest.
