Although he initially leaned towards joining the Jets, Cine decided to stay within the AFC East by joining Buffalo. While he will start on the practice squad, Cine adds considerable talent to the team’s defensive lineup.
The Bills recently released several key defensive players, including Pro Bowl safeties Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde. Veterans Taylor Rapp and Damar Hamlin are set to start the season at safety, with Cam Lewis, Cole Bishop, and Mike Edwards providing depth behind them.
