Defensive back Wande Owens is back with the Bills. The Bills announced Owens’s signing on Friday. Linebacker Otis Reese was waived in a corresponding move. Owens signed with the Bills after going undrafted out of New Hampshire last year and spent the season on injured reserve. He returned to the Bills for the 2026 offseason, but was cut on July 31. Reese signed with the Bills a little more than a week ago, so it was a brief stay on the roster in Buffalo. The Bills also announced that wide receiver Quentin Skinner has switched to No. 18. He had been wearing No. 82 prior to the change
A meaningless game at the end of the regular season appears to have acted as a showcase spot for a now second-year receiver. The Bills claimed Quentin Skinner off waivers, the team announced, after the Jets released the 2025 undrafted pass catcher from Kansas. The Bills released receiver Deven Thompkins in a corresponding move. Skinner, 24, was a three-year starter for Kansas after walking on and put up decent numbers for the Jayhawks, posting 1,584 yards and 11 touchdowns over three seasons. He also led the Big 12 in yards per catch in 2024. He has just one official catch for 10 yards in his NFL career, a ball he caught in the last game of the season against the Bills, thrown by Brady Cook . He also caught a two-point conversion in that game. Skinner, who was released for the second time this offseason by the Jets on Monday, stands at 6-foot-5 and 195 pounds and runs a 4.52 40-yard dash. The Bills are remaking their receiver room this offseason after trading with the Bears for DJ Moore . The veteran now tops the depth chart for a position that was a weakness for Buffalo last season. Keon Coleman , who was drafted at the top of the second round in the 2024 NFL Draft, has been a disappointment to this point. It is unclear whether Coleman will even start this year, as Moore will start outside, with Khalil Shakir expected to be the slot receiver and Joshua Palmer projected to be the other outside wideout. Skinner will likely be in a fight just to make the Bills roster. The Jets roster includes star Garrett Wilson , Adonai Mitchell and rookie newcomer Omar Cooper Jr. as targets for returning quarterback Geno Smith . The Jets also have rookie Kenyon Sadiq listed as their starting tight end on their latest projected depth chart. Josh Allen and the Bills are the favorites to win the AFC East, and the Patriots are coming off a Super Bowl appearance and are expected to be formidable again
Geno Smith's battery investigation is inactive due to lack of evidence
