The Buffalo Bills signed wide receiver Chase Claypool and two others to one-year deals, the team announced Friday.
Claypool, 25, most recently played for the Miami Dolphins, his third team in the past two seasons. He played nine games for the Dolphins, catching four passes, after a trade in October from the Chicago Bears. He had spent just under a year with the Bears, coming from the Pittsburgh Steelers in a November 2022 trade.
Claypool started his career with the Steelers, who selected the former Notre Dame standout in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft.
He has 175 catches for 2,261 yards and 13 touchdowns in 58 games (32 starts) with the Steelers, Bears and Dolphins.
The Bills also announced one-year deals with linebacker Deion Jones and defensive end Dawuane Smoot.
Jones, 29, played his first six seasons with the Falcons and topped 100 tackles in five of them, earning Pro Bowl honors in 2017. A second-round pick by Atlanta in 2016, Jones has 731 tackles, 12 sacks and 13 interceptions in 109 games (91 starts).
He played for the Cleveland Browns in 2022 and Carolina Panthers in 2023.
Smoot, 29, was a 2017 third-round draft pick by the Jaguars and has 23.5 sacks, 64 QB hits and five forced fumbles in 99 career games (17 starts), all with Jacksonville
