Buffalo Bills Sign Veteran Defensive End Justin Hollins for Training Camp
Buffalo Bills Sign Super Bowl Veteran Justin Hollins to Training Camp Roster
Buffalo, NY – In a strategic move to bolster their defensive lineup, the Buffalo Bills have signed 29-year-old defensive end Justin Hollins to their training camp roster. This decision comes on the heels of the release of Kameron Cline, as the Bills aim to enhance their defensive depth ahead of the upcoming season.
Hollins, a seventh-year pro with a wealth of experience, joins a competitive group of defensive ends that includes notable names like Joey Bosa, Greg Rousseau, and AJ Epenesa. Standing at 6-foot-5, Hollins brings a significant presence to the field, having made 67 appearances in the NFL. His journey has seen him play for multiple teams, including a stint with the Los Angeles Chargers last season, where he contributed to their playoff run.
The former Oregon standout was drafted by the Denver Broncos in 2019 and made an immediate impact, appearing in 15 games during his rookie season. However, his career has been marked by transitions, including a brief time on the practice squad of the Washington Commanders before being released in October 2023.
Hollins’ most notable achievement came during his time with the Los Angeles Rams, where he played a role in their Super Bowl LVI victory against the Cincinnati Bengals. In that game, he logged crucial defensive snaps, showcasing his ability to perform under pressure.
With the Bills looking to solidify their defensive strategy, Hollins’ experience could prove invaluable. He reunites with former Super Bowl teammates David Edwards and Taylor Rapp, adding a layer of familiarity to the roster.
While Hollins faces an uphill battle to secure a permanent spot on the team, he is expected to see significant playing time during the preseason. The Bills are likely to manage the snaps of their star defensive players, providing Hollins with ample opportunity to demonstrate his skills and earn a place on the final roster.
As training camp progresses, all eyes will be on Hollins as he aims to make a lasting impression and contribute to the Bills’ pursuit of a championship.
