Bills fill open spot by agreeing to sign former Bengals punter Brad Robbins,  AP source says | AP News

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.

Chiefs Linked To Saints Super Star With 5x Pro Bowl & 2x All-Pro in Blockbuster Trade, Per Source
Kansas City, MO — According to a circulating on X (Twitter), the Kansas City Chiefs have been “linked” to Alvin Kamara—the New Orleans Saints superstar, five-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro—as a potential target ahead of the trade deadline. The speculation has heated up as various outlets have also floated Kamara as a logical “fit” should the Chiefs look to add a versatile, late-season playmaker on offense. At 30, Kamara is a rare dual-threat RB who excels as both a runner and receiver. He tied the NFL single-game record with six rushing touchdowns (Christmas Day 2020 vs. the Vikings), and he has recently been recognized as the Saints’ all-time leader in rushing yards. Across his career: 5× Pro Bowl, 2× Second-Team All-Pro, and a skill set tailor-made for Andy Reid’s motion/spacing concepts—screens, angle/choice routes, safe check-downs, and short play-action. Tactically, if a move ever materialized, Kamara would immediately put stress on short-to-intermediate coverages, force defenses to roll a safety, and give Kansas City intriguing two-back looks alongside Isiah Pacheco on 3rd-and-medium and in the red zone. In this hypothetical scenario, Kamara voices a desire for a fresh challenge after hitting so many personal milestones in New Orleans: “I’ve achieved just about everything with the Saints, and I want a new challenge for myself. What could be better than a team competing directly for a Super Bowl? Just thinking about wearing Red and Gold really excites me.” Source: @nflrums X As of now, there has been no official confirmation from the Chiefs or the Saints regarding any talks. Still, Kamara’s résumé and toolbox explain why his name is quickly paired with Kansas City whenever rumors of an offensive upgrade surface. With 5× Pro Bowls, 2× All-Pro honors, and a proven knack for tilting games as both a runner and receiver, even a whisper on social media is enough to make Chiefs Kingdom perk up.
