Free-agent defensive lineman Austin Johnson has signed a one-year contract to play for the Buffalo Bills during the 2024 NFL season. Johnson’s signing comes three days after his visit to One Bills Drive.
In a cool break from tradition, defensive tackle DaQuan Jones was the first to announce Johnson’s signing with the Bills. The big man with an even larger personality has been a massive hype man for Austin Johnson since the news of his visit to Orchard Park, NY first made waves.
