Hamlin’s signing was confirmed by the Bills and later reported by ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter on X. The move comes as Hamlin continues his work off the field with the Chasing M’s Foundation, which has partnered with the Bills and the NFL to promote heart health awareness, CPR training, and AED accessibility.
The incident that first put Hamlin in the national spotlight occurred during a Jan. 2, 2023 game against the Cincinnati Bengals, when he collapsed after a tackle. Medical staff restored his heartbeat on the field, and he later recovered, inspiring many across the league.
Hamlin’s on-field impact for Buffalo includes 89 tackles, 15 passes defended, two interceptions, and a fumble recovery in the 2024 season, highlighting his continued contribution to the Bills’ secondary. The team disclosed no terms of the contract.
For fans following Hamlin’s journey, the signing underscores a continued commitment to both his on-field role and his off-field health education initiatives.
