Bills lose fan favorite and touchdown receptions leader to division rival in free agency

The Buffalo Bills agreed to terms with wide receiver Josh Palmer to open NFL free agency Monday.

The other shoe dropped a few hours later.

Wide receiver Mack Hollins, who led Buffalo a year ago with five touchdown receptions, will sign a two-year $8.4 million contract with the New England Patriots, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. The deal has a maximum value of $10.4 million.

Hollins, 31, had 31 catches for 378 receiving yards and five touchdowns in his lone season in Buffalo. He led Bills wide receivers by playing 721 offensive snaps, 66.
