The Bills signed Buechele (neck) to a reserve/future contract Wednesday, Alec White of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Buechele spent the entire 2024 season on injured reserve due to a neck injury that he suffered during the preseason in mid-August. By signing a futures deal, Buechele will be eligible to participate in OTAs, minicamp and training camp in the hopes of making the Bills' 53-man roster for the 2025 campaign.

The Bills placed Buechele (neck) on injured reserve Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Buechele suffered a significant neck injury during Buffalo's preseason opener against the Bears. Unless he can reach an injury settlement with the team, Buechele will have to spend the entire 2024 campaign on IR with the Bills.

Head coach Sean McDermott told reporters Monday that Buechele will be out for an extended amount of time after sustaining a neck injury in Saturday's 33-6 preseason loss to the Bears, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Buechele took over under center in the second half of Saturday's contest after Josh Allen and Mitch Trubisky handled snaps in the first half. Buechele finished the contest completing six of 10 passes for 53 yards and one interception while adding 22 rushing yards on three carries. The Bills brought in Ben DiNucci to take snaps with the second- and third-team offenses while Buechele is sidelined.

The Bills signed Buechele to a reserve/future contract Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Buechele will stay in Buffalo after spending the entirety of the season on their practice squad. The 26-year-old will likely spend the summer competing for a backup role behind Josh Allen.

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.
