Bills Secure Former First-Round Safety Lewis Cine from Division Rival Jets

Cine joins Buffalo's practice squad after initially planning to sign with New York, adding depth to a revamped Bills secondary.

Lewis Cine was released by the Minnesota Vikings after two seasons marked by injuries and limited playtime.
The safety initially intended to join the New York Jets but changed his mind due to a connection with a former college coach on the Bills.
Buffalo's safety position has seen significant changes, including the departures of longtime starters Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde.
Cine's addition comes as the Bills seek to bolster their depth following a series of injuries at the safety position during the preseason.
The Jets and Bills also completed a rare trade earlier in the week, swapping late-round draft picks for 2026.
