NFL free agency is off and running, and we’re keeping track of every major signing, trade and release of the 2024 offseason, with analysis from our NFL Nation reporters and grades from our experts. The new league year begins March 13 at 4 p.m. ET, which means free agent signings can be made official after that. The first round of the 2024 NFL draft begins April 25 on ESPN.

Here’s a breakdown of every 2024 NFL free agent signing by the Buffalo Bills and how each will impact the upcoming season:

The Bills agreed to terms on a two-year deal with Mitch Trubisky on Wednesday, a source confirmed to ESPN.

What it means: The Bills have familiar face backing up Josh Allen at quarterback for the 2024 season. Trubisky spent the last two seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers, competing for the starting role and playing time. He was Allen’s backup in 2021 and while he didn’t see any significant playing time, he left a positive impression in Buffalo, leading to the reunion in a reworked quarterback room with quarterbacks coach Ronald Curry also a new addition for 2024.

What’s the risk: There’s little risk here. The Bills know exactly what they are getting from Trubisky. The only concern here is how he’ll perform if he’s called upon. With the Steelers, he completed 64.1% of his passes and threw eight touchdowns to 10 interceptions. The Bills prefer a backup with experience, so re-signing Trubisky certainly accomplishes that.

The Bills reached an agreement with safety Taylor Rapp on a three-year deal worth up to $14.5 million, a source told ESPN on Wednesday.

What it means: With the Bills releasing Jordan Poyer, and Micah Hyde set to become a free agent — while also contemplating retirement — the safety room became a major area of need. Re-signing Rapp means that the Bills see him as a potential starter at a position being turned over for the first time under coach Sean McDermott. Rapp played well when called upon as a backup safety and member of the defensive backfield in his first season with the team in 2023, and he now gets a chance to increase that playing time.

What’s the risk: Change at the safety position in general won’t be easy for the Bills, as Poyer and Hyde have held down the position together for seven seasons. The team is familiar with Rapp, and signing him to this extension doesn’t preclude further additions to the room.

The Bills re-signed guard David Edwards to a two-year extension on Wednesday.

What it means: Re-signing Edwards means the team seems him competing for the starting left guard role Connor McGovern will vacate when he moves to center to replace Mitch Morse, who was released Wednesday. The reshuffling of the line will present a significant change from last season, when the Bills had rare consistency with all five offensive line starters playing every game.

What’s the risk: There’s not significant risk here in bringing back Edwards after one year in Buffalo, especially considering he has the ability to play both left and right guard. He also has significant experience working with offensive line coach Aaron Kromer from their time with the Los Angeles Rams. He did not see much playing time in his first season with the Bills as a backup, but the team has clearly seen enough to have him in line, as of now, for the starting job.

The Bills re-signed punter Matt Haack to a one-year deal on Wednesday.

What it means: The Bills are bringing in competition for punter Sam Martin, perhaps most notably for his role as kicker Tyler Bass’ holder. Bass is coming off a season that ended on a missed field goal late in the divisional-round loss to the Chiefs. His field goal percentage (82.8%) was his lowest since his rookie year. Haack was with the team in 2021, when Bass had the best statistical season of his career (87.5% field goal percentage and zero missed PATs).

What’s the risk: There’s nothing to lose here. Competition is always good, and the Bills are plenty familiar with Haack.
