The Buffalo Bills have maintained a low profile in the early stages of free agency, primarily focusing on retaining their own players and bolstering squad depth. This pattern persisted as they recently reached an agreement with veteran wide receiver Mack Hollins for a one-year deal, potentially worth up to $3 million. While the exact base value remains undisclosed, it’s anticipated that the 2024 cap hit could fall below the $3 million mark.
Hollins, who stands at 6-foot-4 and weighs 220 pounds, brings experience to the Bills’ wide receiver corps, particularly in boundary roles and special teams. With notable departures like Gabe Davis, Deonte Harty, and Trent Sherfield, there are openings to be filled in the receiver lineup.
Despite Hollins’ recent drop in production with the Atlanta Falcons, where he struggled to secure a consistent role in an underperforming passing offense, his track record as a deep threat remains notable. Notably, he tallied catches of 45 yards or more in each of the last three seasons. His career-best performance came in 2022 with the Las Vegas Raiders, where he achieved personal highs in receptions, receiving yards, and touchdowns.
In Buffalo, Hollins is expected to slot into a secondary position behind established receivers like Stefon Diggs and Khalil Shakir. The Bills, armed with 11 draft picks next month, are likely to further bolster their receiving options through the draft.
