Buechele was added to the Bills' practice squad Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Buechele spent his first two seasons on the Chiefs' practice squad after going undrafted in 2021. He never actually suited up for a game during his stint in KC and will now look for a fresh start in Buffalo. He finished his five-year collegiate career with 11,660 yards and 87 touchdowns to go along with 478 rushing yards and eight touchdowns on the ground for both Texas and SMU.

Buechele was waived by the Chiefs on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Blaine Gabbert was always the likely backup to Patrick Mahomes under center, so this is a relatively unsurprising move by the Chiefs. The 25-year-old has not suited up for an NFL game during his tenure in the league, but he did spend the majority of the 2021 season on Kansas City's practice squad. It remains to be seen if he will get another opportunity there.

Buechele signed his one-year tender with the Chiefs on Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Buechele was originally an exclusive rights free agent but will now be tied to the Chiefs for the 2023 campaign, where he spent time on both the practice squad and active roster a season ago. The 25-year-old should have the same role again this year, as Blaine Gabbert is expected to backup Patrick Mahomes.

The Chiefs signed Buechele from their practice squad to their 53-man roster Tuesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Patrick Mahomes and Chad Henne are both healthy, so on the surface this comes as a surprising move. However, Yates reports that the Cardinals -- who currently have injuries to Kyler Murray (ankle) and Colt McCoy (pectoral) -- attempted to sign Buechele to their active roster, so the Chiefs are merely protecting their practice squad quarterback.

The Chiefs signed Buechele to the practice squad Wednesday, Howard Balzer of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Buechele will serve as an emergency option at quarterback behind Patrick Mahomes and Chad Henne for the Chiefs. The undrafted rookie out of SMU logged an impressive 57:16 TD:INT ratio during his final two collegiate seasons.
