- RB Frank Gore
- WR Stephen Gosnell

Mathis returns from being suspended for the first three games of the regular season without pay for violating the league’s Substances of Abuse Policy.
Mathis, 27, was a second-round pick by the Commanders out of Alabama in the 2022 NFL Draft. He was in the third year of a four-year, $7.5 million rookie deal with a base salary of $1,046,199 in 2024 when Washington waived him in December.
He was then claimed by the Jets. After New York let him go during roster cuts in 2025, he caught on with the Bills. Buffalo re-signed him to a one-year deal in February. The Bills cut him this week but planned to re-sign him to the practice squad.
In 2025, Mathis appeared in six games for the Bills and recorded 13 total tackles.
