Bills add DT Poona Ford
After the 2023 NFL Draft came and went without Buffalo adding a defensive tackle, general manager Brandon Beane made a (literal) big signing via free agency, bringing in Poona Ford on a one-year deal. Ford, arguably the top defensive tackle remaining in free agency, amassed 7.5 sacks with 28 tackles for a loss in five seasons with the Seattle Seahawks.
