Bills Cut Geno Stone From 53-Man Roster

Poor training-camp play coupled with low Pro Football Focus grades cost the veteran his roster spot, prompting a likely run at free agency or a practice-squad return.

Overview

  • The Buffalo Bills released safety Geno Stone as part of their final 53-man roster moves on NFL cutdown day.
  • Stone signed a one-year, $1.4 million deal with Buffalo in March after starting full seasons for the Cincinnati Bengals the prior two years.
  • He enters free agency with 14 career interceptions, 21 pass breakups and roughly $17 million in career earnings across six seasons.
  • Pro Football Focus gave Stone a low overall grade in 2025 and local camp reporters said his training-camp performance dropped him down the depth chart.
  • Teams now can sign Stone to an active roster or add him to Buffalo’s practice squad if eligible, with the decision likely to hinge on his recent tape and special-teams value.
