The Buffalo Bills made what is often the first transaction a team will make following the conclusion of their season that was.
The team announced that 10 players were signed to reserve/future contracts for the 2022 season.
Those are:
- DT Brandin Bryant
- G Jacob Capra
- WR Tanner Gentry
- LB Joe Giles-Harris
- DB Tim Harris
- WR Isaiah Hodgins
- DE Mike Love
- DB Nick McCloud
- TE Quintin Morris
- DB Josh Thomas
Of this group, Bryant and Giles-Harris saw playing time in backup and special teams roles for the Bills on two game days this season. Hodgins appeared in a handful of snaps in one outing.
McCloud was active for two games but those came with the Cincinnati Bengals. At the end of training camp, McCloud, a UDFA signing by the team, was cut by Buffalo. Cincy then claimed him on waivers but he made his way back to Orchard Park eventually.
A reserve/future contract guarantees that a player cannot be signed by another team. The deal goes into effect once the new league year begins and will count towards the next season’s salary cap and 90-man roster for the offseason and training camp.
The deals are typically signed for the league minimum without a signing bonus attached.
