Buffalo Bills sign Super Bowl-winning defensive end

The Buffalo Bills have signed veteran star Justin Hollins to a one-year deal. 

The 29-year-old was most recently part of the Washington Commanders practice squad but was released back in October after just two months there. 

He was initially selected as the 156th pick in the fifth round of the draft back in 2018 and signed a four-year, $2.8million rookie contract with the Denver Broncos.

However he was waived in 2020 and later picked up by the Los Angeles Rams. 

He was part of the Rams side who won Super Bowl LVI in the 2021 season. He registered 10.5 sacks, 10 tackles for loss and 16 QB hits in 67 games that year.

Along with the Rams and the Commanders, Hollins has also had brief stints with the Green Bay Packers, New York Giants and the LA Chargers.

Prior to his time in the NFL, Hollins spent four years at Oregon, where he played 45 games.  He recorded 184 tackles, 36 tackles for loss and 14 sacks in that time. 

He ranked fourth in the Pac-12 in sacks and fifth in tackles for loss. He was also named in the 2018 First-Team All-Pac 12 by the ᴀssociated Press.

As per the Bills official statement, Hollins will wear No. 52. 

Back in March, the Bills brought in veteran defensive end Joey Bosa after he was released by the LA Chargers. 

It marks the first time that Bosa has suited up for an NFL franchise other than the Chargers after bringing an end to his nine-year stint there.
