Ex-Bengals Punter Struggling to Find His Footing in Bills After Back-to-Back Preseason Letdowns

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — When the Bills signed Brad Robbins to a one-year deal in March 2025, the expectation was simple: stabilize a position that has haunted Buffalo for seasons. Instead, two preseason games in, the questions have only grown louder.
Against the Giants in Week 1, Robbins struggled to flip the field, delivering punts that lacked both hang time and distance. Week 2 against the Bears offered little redemption — with Buffalo’s offense sputtering, Robbins had ample chances to showcase his leg, but inconsistency again left the defense with poor field position.
One teammate admitted afterward, under the condition of anonymity:
“Special teams matter here — we can’t afford to lose the field position battle every week. You get two shots in preseason, and if you don’t make them count, the coaches remember.”
For a franchise that prizes precision in all three phases, the patience is thin. Robbins, once a promising draft pick in Cincinnati before landing in Buffalo, now finds himself battling not just for the punter job but for his NFL future. Two games down, one more preseason chance remains — and in Buffalo, there’s little room left for error.
