The Buffalo Bills were busy on Tuesday, making several roster moves that could shape their depth chart for the upcoming season. The team announced the signing of tight end Shane Zylstra, along with two of their 2026 draft picks: fourth-round wide receiver Skyler Bell and fourth-round linebacker Kaleb Elarms-Orr.
Zylstra, who spent his entire career with the Detroit Lions, brings valuable experience to the Bills' tight end room. Over 35 games (including six starts), he has hauled in 18 receptions for 136 yards and four touchdowns—a solid red-zone target with a nose for the end zone. His addition gives quarterback Josh Allen another reliable option in the passing game, especially in short-yardage situations.
To make room for Zylstra on the roster, Buffalo released kicker Maddux Trujillo, who originally signed with the team in January on a futures contract. The move signals that the Bills are comfortable with their current kicking situation, likely leaning on veteran Tyler Bass for the upcoming season.
Meanwhile, the signing of Bell and Elarms-Orr highlights Buffalo's commitment to injecting youth and talent into their roster. Bell, a dynamic wideout from the fourth round, could add depth to a receiving corps that already features Stefon Diggs and Gabriel Davis. Elarms-Orr, a linebacker with impressive instincts, will look to compete for snaps in a defense that prides itself on versatility and aggression.
For Bills fans, these moves are a reminder that roster construction is a year-round process—and every signing, from undrafted rookies to seasoned veterans, plays a role in building a championship contender. Whether you're gearing up for training camp or just stocking up on Bills gear, these transactions add another layer of excitement to the season ahead.
