The Buffalo Bills have agreed to terms on a three-year deal with defensive end Bradley Chubb.<\/p>\n
The deal is worth $43.5 million, but can reach up to $52.5 million, and includes $29 million guaranteed, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.<\/p>\n
Chubb, 29, has 48 sacks in his career with the Denver Broncos and Miami Dolphins. He missed all of 2024 with a torn ACL, but bounced back in 2025 with 8.5 sacks in 17 games.<\/p>\n
He was a first-round pick of the Broncos in 2018, and would be named to two Pro Bowls with the team, first in 2020 and again in 2022.<\/p>\n
Bills officially refer to Bradley Chubb as an outside linebacker, which makes sense given his skill set and stature for Jim Leonhard\u2019s defensive scheme. https:\/\/t.co\/cbetnFu9xb<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Andy Young (@AndyYoungTV) March 12, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n Chubb immediately becomes the Bills’ go-to option in the pass rush alongside Gregory Rousseau. Other defensive ends who played for the Bills last season and are now free agents include Joey Bosa and A.J. Epenesa. Bosa finished with five sacks in completing his one-year contract with Buffalo.<\/p>\n Four years ago, the Bills made a splash by signing Von Miller, Chubb\u2019s former Broncos teammate. Miller was cut after three seasons, during which a knee injury limited him to 14 sacks over 36 games.<\/p>\n Chubb joins a defense being remade under coordinator Jim Leonhard, who takes over in the aftermath of head coach Sean McDermott\u2019s dismissal in January. Chubb is projected to start on the right side opposite Greg Rousseau. Buffalo\u2019s defense also returns Michael Hoecht, who was limited to playing just two games last year before rupturing his Achilles tendon.<\/p>\n Signing Chubb away from the rival Dolphins wasn’t the only move Bills general manager Brandon Beane made when the league year began at 4 p.m. Wednesday. The team also traded<\/a> a second-round pick to the Chicago Bears for wide receiver D.J. Moore and a fifth-round pick, and moved<\/a> cornerback Taron Johnson to the Las Vegas Raiders alongside a seventh-round pick in exchange for a sixth-round pick.<\/p>\n The Associated Press contributed to this report.<\/p>\n
