ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — The Buffalo Bills filled their open spot at punter by agreeing to sign Brad Robbins, a person familiar with discussions confirmed to The Associated Press on Monday.
The person spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity because the team has not announced the agreement. NFL.com first reported the deal.
Robbins joins Buffalo with the plan to take over the job after the team cut Sam Martin to free up salary cap space in early March.
The 26-year-old Robbins has been out of football since being released by the Cincinnati Bengals in October following a month-long stint on injured reserve because of a quadriceps injury. He proved to be the odd-man out in losing his job to Ryan Rehkow.
The Bengals selected Robbins in the sixth round of the 2023 draft out of Michigan. He finished his rookie NFL year ranking 27th in averaging 40.3 net yards per punt, and tied for 23rd in landing 20 punts inside an opponent’s 20.
