The Buffalo Bills’ surprise season continues to impress the football world. After a tumultuous season that saw the team lose many players considered “essential” by experts, the Bills continued to overcome every obstacle in their path. Injuries are a big part of the Bills’ 2024 story. Key players like LB Matt Milano, linebacker Dalton Kincaid, wide receiver Keon Coleman and right fielder Spencer Brown were absent this year. The defensive line has seen key players like Dawuane Smoot and DeWayne Carter go on IR. Add to that Von Miller’s four-game suspension, and it’s been a bumpy road.

Defensive midfielder Jordan Phillips was recently brought back for his third stint with the team as they look for help with a depleted defense. Phillips’ jubilant social media posts after re-signing with the team drew praise from those who were begging Big Baller Beane to bring in some mid-season boost. After spending seven successful seasons with the Bills, Hyde becomes a free agent after the 2023 season and has not committed to playing another season in the NFL. But he always left open the possibility of returning to Buffalo if the Bills needed him.
