Buffalo Bills hosting former Philadelphia Eagles CB

Why the Carolina-Buffalo pipeline remains open for business.

The Buffalo Bills continue exploring cornerback options this spring, looking to solidify a room that lacks a defined CB2 one week out from the 2025 NFL Draft. General manager Brandon Beane prefers having all options on the table during draft weekend, which will require him feeling confident enough in the players already signed who are vying to start at CB2 in a little over four months’ time.

To that end, the Bills are hosting veteran cornerback James Bradberry, per sources as shared by Jeremy Fowler. The last time most of Bills Mafia saw Bradberry was in 2023, when Buffalo lost a heart-breaker to the Philadelphia Eagles. In that game, Bradberry was credited with three tackles, five pass defenses, and a very memorable interception of a pass intended for wide receiver Gabe Davis.

But Bradberry’s ties to Buffalo’s current front office and coaching staff run far deeper — all the way back to 2016, when Brandon Beane and Sean McDermott were with the Carolina Panthers. That was Bradberry’s rookie season, joining the Panthers as a second-round draft pick that spring.

Bradberry would end up spending four seasons with Carolina before signing with the New York Giants in free agency. After two campaigns with New York, Bradberry signed to play for the Philadelphia Eagles.

Unfortunately for Bradberry, his tenure in Philly was cut short due to an Achilles heel injury that sidelined him for the entirety of the team’s 2024 Super Bowl-winning campaign. Now, Bradberry’s looking for another opportunity, with Buffalo in the mix and likely curious to see what he brings to the table.

Bradberry will turn 32 just as training camp gets underway this summer and he’s coming off that devastating Achilles injury. Given that, it’s anyone’s guess at this point just how serious the Bills may be in pursuing a contract with Bradberry — but his visit to One Bills Drive is noteworthy, especially when considering that Rasul Douglas is still an unsigned free agent.

Evans was selected 13th overall in the 2004 NFL Draft by Buffalo

The 2025 NFL Draft is just seven days away and a 21st century Buffalo Bills legend will be on-site at Lambeau Field to announce Buffalo’s second-round draft selection(s). Wide receiver Lee Evans is set to welcome the Bills’ newest players during Day 2 of the NFL Draft — which will also be 21 years exactly to the day when Evans was drafted by the Bills back in 2004.

Evans was ultimately drafted 13th overall by the Bills in the 2004 NFL Draft, nine picks before the selection of quarterback J.P. Losman. I was only five years old when Evans was drafted, but even I understand how exciting a player he was and how much the city of Buffalo and all of Bills Mafia appreciated him.

With quarterbacks such as Losman, Trent Edwards, and early on a 32-year-old Drew Bledsoe, Evans made an immediate impact through his first five seasons, totaling at least 700 receiving yards in each season, including two 1,000-plus- yard seasons. His big-play ability was evident and he had a true knack for scoring incredibly long touchdowns.

What is your favorite Lee Evans moment? Was it his three first-quarter touchdowns against the Miami Dolphins, a game that Buffalo still managed to lose 24-23?

Or was it when he caught an 85-yard fourth-quarter touchdown causing two Jets’ defenders to collide with each other?

Maybe another play by Evans stands out? Be sure to share below in the comments your favorite moments from Lee Evans’ career with the Bills!

Plus, running through some of the best available edge rushers in the draft.

As soon as news came out that the Buffalo Bills were bringing back fan-favorite and former Pro Bowl cornerback Tre’Davious White on a one-year deal, the debate started online concerning White’s role on the defense, and whether he could still play CB2 opposite Christian Benford, or whether injuries had taken their toll on the 30-year-old White.

Regardless of whether you believe White can be a productive starter for Buffalo, the Bills still have a long-term need at cornerback, and with the draft fast approaching, today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks previews the best available cornerback prospects in the draft.

Previewing the best cornerback prospects​


There are plenty of starting-caliber cornerbacks available in the NFL Draft, from Colorado’s Travis Hunter, who appears a lock to go early in the draft, to Michigan’s Will Johnson, Texas’ Jahdae Barron, East Carolina’s Shavon Revel, Kentucky’s Maxwell Hairston, and Ole Miss standout Trey Amos.

Linked below: breaking down the best cornerback prospects, including exploring why Revel possesses the ideal physical skillset needed to succeed in the NFL; why Amos could provide tremendous value in the second round; and offering up comprehensive scouting profiles on Florida State’s Azareye’h Thomas and Iowa State’s Darien Porter Jr.

More Bills-related draft chatter​


A run through some of the best available edge rushers in the draft, including Arkansas’s Landon Ole Miss standout Jared Ivey, and Georgia’s Mykel Williams. Plus, how the status of Pro Bowl running back James Cook will impact Buffalo’s draft plans; examining areas where the Bills can add instant contributors on offense; and a worst-case exercise to find out all the ways the draft could go wrong for general manager Brandon Beane and head coach Sean McDermott.
