  • Bills' Colton Schmidt: Re-signs with Buffalo

    Schmidt signed a one-year contract with the Bills on Wednesday, Chris Brown of the team's official site reports.

    Schmidt, who was cut by the Bills in September after a four-year stint with the team, will rejoin the active roster after rookie punter Corey Bojorquez was placed on injured reserve after initially playing through a shoulder issue. Given that Schmidt's contract lapses after this season, it's still believed that the Bills view Bojorquez as their top contender for punting duties in 2019, though that could change if Schmidt fares well in the second half of the campaign.

  • Colton Schmidt: Will become free agent

    Schmidt did not sign a tender with the Bills and will become a free agent March 9, Mike Rodak of ESPN reports.

    Schmidt spent the last three seasons in Buffalo, but was last in the NFL with 42.4 yards per punt in 2016, so it is not surprising to see the Bills let him go. He will test the market and aim for a punting job with another NFL roster.
