What happened: Buffalo processed the transaction on Tuesday as both AFC East organizations configure their rosters for the upcoming 2026 season. The acquisition follows his previous departure when the Jets parted ways with Skinner.

Why it matters: The claim allows Buffalo to evaluate a division property heading into training camp without surrendering draft capital. Both organizations previously engaged in offseason transaction business during the NFL Draft on April 24 when they executed a first-round swap involving selections 26 and 28.

What to watch: Skinner will report to Buffalo for physical evaluations before the team opens mandatory training camp sessions later this month. He must secure medical clearance following his June injury status to compete for a spot on the 53-man active roster.
