The Bills released Cain on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Cain spent part of the 2024 season on the Bills' practice squad but never suited up for a game. The 29-year-old hasn't played an NFL snap since the 2020 season, although he has played in the USFL and UFL the last three springs and was highly productive. Cain will be a candidate for the practice squad once again.

The Bills signed Cain to a contract Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Cain spent the 2024 season on the Panthers' and Bills' practice squads before being let go by Buffalo in early December. He's back with the Bills, and while he's unlikely to make the 53-man roster, he will have a shot to make the practice squad at the conclusion of training camp. Cain last saw NFL regular-season action in 2020 as a member of the Steelers, when he appeared in two regular-season games and played 10 snaps on offense.

Cain caught on with the Bills' practice squad Oct. 31 after being cut from the Panthers' practice squad two weeks prior. He was not elevated to the active roster by either team, and he'll now explore his next options. Cain last saw NFL regular-season action in 2020 with the Steelers, playing 10 offensive snaps across two games while not showing up on the box score.

The Panthers cut Cain from their practice squad Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Clemson product joined the Panthers' practice squad in late August, but it now appears the team has decided to move in a different direction. Cain most recently appeared in an NFL game in 2020 with the Steelers, where he failed to record a stat on just 10 offensive snaps.

Carolina signed Cain to its practice squad Friday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cain joined Buffalo for training camp in mid-August and signed a practice-squad deal with the Bills on Wednesday before being cut the following day. It didn't take long for the wideout to find a new organization, and he'll now set his sights on trying to return to an NFL active roster for the first time since 2020. Cain has logged snaps with Indianapolis and Pittsburgh in his career, accumulating nine receptions on 20 targets for 124 yards.

Cain signed a contract with the Bills' practice squad Wednesday, Alec White of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cain hasn't seen significant NFL regular-season action since 2019, although he's recorded a combined 49 receptions for 68 yards and five touchdowns with the Birmingham Stallions in the USFL and UFL the last two springs. Cain will have the opportunity to stick around in Buffalo for now after joining the team Aug. 13 and recording three catches for 28 yards during the preseason.

The Bills signed Cain to a one-year contract Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Cain attempted to catch onto the Eagles' 53-man roster during last year's training camp, but he was cut at the end of August and did not catch on with a practice squad. His last NFL action was in 2020, when he appeared in two regular-season games for the Steelers and played 10 snaps on offense across the two contests. The 2018 sixth-round pick is unlikely to make the Bills' final roster, but he could be invited to stick around on the practice squad if he's able to impress in training camp.
