The Bills announced on Sunday that the club has signed free agent cornerback Akeem King and defensive tackle Niles Scott.
This pair of moves comes in two positions that are not very surprising at this time. Buffalo lost the services of both cornerback EJ Gaines and Star Lotulelei within the past few days. Both opted out of playing in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Both of the new signings are expected to battle for depth spots.
King spent the last two seasons with the Seahawks, playing a chunk of special teams time there. Buffalo special teams coordinator Heath Farwell previously played with the Seahawks before joining the Bills and prior to his coaching career.
King was a seventh-round pick of the Falcons in 2015.
Scott was an undrafted rookie in 2017, and was active in six games with the Bengals in 2018. He has only played in one special teams snap is his career, but has seen 46 on defense, recording four tackles on them.
