Buffalo Bills lose WR Mack Hollins to Patriots in free agency

The Buffalo Bills have lost wide receiver Mack Hollins to the New England Patriots, a move that has disappointed fans and teammates alike. Hollins, known for his unique personality and significant contributions on the field, led the Bills in touchdown receptions in 2024 and was a key special teams player. The Patriots signed him to a two-year deal worth up to $10.4 million, reuniting him with offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, under whom Hollins had his best year with the Las Vegas Raiders. In response to Hollins' departure, the Bills secured wide receiver Josh Palmer on a three-year contract, hoping he will fill the gap left by Hollins. Additionally, the Bills signed running back Darrynton Evans, indicating a potential shift away from Ty Johnson despite Johnson's previous strong performance. This series of moves marks a significant reshuffle in the Bills' roster as they prepare for the upcoming season.
