Ex-Cowboys Has Message for Dallas After Re-Signing in Buffalo

Buffalo, NY — September 23, 2025 — Just hours after being waived by the Dallas Cowboys, offensive lineman Nick Broeker boarded an early-morning flight back east and signed onto the Buffalo Bills’ practice squad. The move was finalized Monday afternoon, with Buffalo moving quickly to reclaim a versatile blocker who already has NFL snaps under his belt.

Broeker, a 2023 seventh-round pick out of Ole Miss, arrives with a reputation for toughness and flexibility across the line. He logged preseason work at both guard and tackle with the Texans and Cowboys, proving dependable as a depth option. That’s why Dallas’ decision to part ways raised eyebrows. Buffalo, facing offensive line injuries and in search of steady reinforcements, wasted no time pulling him back into the fold.

“No, I’m not bitter — I’m motivated. Dallas let me go, but Buffalo picked up the phone. Now I’m ready to show exactly what they passed on,” Broeker said in a brief statement.

For the Bills, the appeal is clear: Broeker brings size (6’5”, 305 lbs), durability — he never missed a game in four years at Ole Miss — and the kind of versatility that can stabilize depth charts late in the season. On a line that has shuffled players due to injuries, his ability to handle multiple positions makes him a low-risk, high-value addition.

The Cowboys chapter closes quickly for Broeker. Despite showing promise in training camp, he became a casualty of final roster cuts. Buffalo’s swift action underscores both the league’s respect for his potential and the Bills’ urgency to keep their trenches fortified during a Super Bowl push.

In the short term, Broeker is expected to slot into the practice squad and get reps in Buffalo’s system. Longer term, his work ethic and adaptability could earn him a game-day elevation — the kind of comeback story that resonates in a city built on resilience.
