What happened: The Buffalo Bills signed former Detroit Lions tight end Shane Zylstra to a one-year contract on Tuesday. To make room on the roster, Buffalo released kicker Maddux Trujillo. The move was first reported by Adam Schefter and confirmed by the Bills' PR account.

Why it matters: The signing adds veteran tight end depth to Buffalo's room heading into the 2026 season, while the release of Trujillo signals the Bills are comfortable with their kicking situation. Zylstra brings prior NFL experience from his time in Detroit, giving Buffalo another red-zone-capable body behind its starting tight ends.

What to watch: Watch how Zylstra fits into Buffalo's tight end rotation during OTAs and minicamp, and whether the Bills bring in additional kicker competition after parting with Trujillo.
