Buffalo signed Buechele to the practice squad Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Buechele spent the majority of the 2025 regular season on the Bills' practice squad, and he now returns to the unit as Buffalo prepares to begin the postseason with a wild-card round matchup against Jacksonville on Sunday. Due to being poached by Kansas City late December, Buechele got an opportunity to play the second half of the Chiefs' regular-season finale against the Raiders in Week 18, in which he completed seven of 14 passes for 88 yards while rushing once for four yards. He served as Kansas City's backup quarterback for the final two games of the regular season.

The Chiefs waived Buechele on Monday, Charles Goldman of AtoZSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Buechele spent the majority of the 2025 season on the Bills' practice squad before being signed to the Chiefs' active roster in late December. He served as Kansas City's backup quarterback for the final two games of the regular season behind Chris Oladokun, but Buechele ended up playing in the second half of Sunday's regular-season finale against the Raiders, when he completed seven of 14 passes for 88 yards while adding a four-yard carry. Assuming he clears waivers, Buechele will have the opportunity to reunite with the Bills on the practice squad or join another playoff team in need of a scout-team quarterback.

The Chiefs signed Buechele off the Bills' practice squad Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
With both Patrick Mahomes (knee) and Gardner Minshew (knee) likely sidelined for the remainder of the season, Buechele provides the Chiefs with much-needed depth at quarterback. The SMU product has never played in an NFL game since going undrafted in 2021. Buechele will likely compete with Chris Oladokun for Kansas City's starting QB spot throughout the week ahead of Thursday's matchup against the Broncos.

Buffalo signed Buechele to its practice squad Wednesday, Alec White of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Buechele wasn't able to make the Bills' initial 53-man roster, but he'll remain with the club as organizational QB depth. If Josh Allen or Mitchell Trubisky were to miss time at any point, Buechele could be elevated to the active roster.

Buechele is expected to be waived by the Bills, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Buechele will hit the open market after completing 36 of 46 passes for 380 yards and a touchdown over three preseason games with Buffalo. The quarterback will likely find another opportunity in the near future, and he could stick around with the Bills' practice squad in 2025.

EDGE Analysis
After having to spend the entire 2024 season on Buffalo's injured reserve list due to a neck injury he suffered during the preseason, Buechele is back in shape for football activities during offseason workouts. He'll compete with Mitchell Trubisky and Mike White to be second in the Bills' quarterback pecking order behind Josh Allen in 2025.
