The Buffalo Bills are on the board with a second move at the 2022 NFL trade deadline.
The team announced that safety Dean Marlowe was acquired from the Atlanta Falcons. Buffalo sent a seventh-round pick to Atlanta for the defender.
Marlowe, 30, is very much a familiar face. He previously suited up for the Bills from 2017 to 2020.
After his first time in Buffalo, Marlowe signed as a free agent with the Detroit Lions during the 2021 offseason. He was hopeful for more playing time and did make a career-high nine starts that year, however, he ended up signing with the Falcons this past summer.
Marlowe has mostly played a special teams role in Atlanta this year, but in Buffalo, he could see defensive snaps pretty quickly.
During his first stint with the Bills, he was the No. 1 option to fill in for both Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde when either would go down.
With Hyde out for the year and Poyer currently dealing with an elbow injury, Marlowe could seamlessly know the Bills’ defensive system. Currently the Bills have Jaquan Johnson and Damar Hamlin filling in behind their top-two safeties.
