C.J. Gardner-Johnson has signed a one-year, $6 million deal with the Buffalo Bills after a turbulent season that saw him released from the Texans and Ravens due to internal friction. This move is part of a wider effort by the Bills to revamp their defense, which was above league-average but struggled against top offenses. The team's season ended with a 33-30 overtime loss to the Broncos in the AFC Divisional Round. The Bills have also prioritized improving their passing defense this year, with the signing of pass rusher Bradley Chubb and cornerback Dee Alford.
