On Sunday, the Buffalo Bills will play the unbeaten Kansas City Chiefs in an attempt to continue their five-game winning run.
Throughout the season, the Bills have battled injuries on both sides of the ball, but their defense is starting to improve at the perfect moment. However, they now have a new possible target if they do choose to seek further defensive assistance.
In an unexpected decision on Monday, the Seattle Seahawks released linebacker Tyrel Dodson. With 71 total tackles in nine games, Dodson now leads the team.
After going undrafted in 2019, Dodson played his first five seasons with the Bills. After Matt Milano had a season-ending injury in 2023, he started a career-high 10 games for Buffalo.
He had eight tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks, and 74 total tackles at the end of the season. It wouldn’t hurt the Bills to have a familiar face return for depth, even if Milano is anticipated to return off injured reserve in the next weeks with the start of his 21-day practice window.

There could have been behind-the-scenes activities with Dodson that provide a different account. But, given the Bills’ track record of developing Dodson, it probably wouldn’t hurt for the team to re-sign a guy who is familiar with the locker culture as they aim to contend for a postseason spot.
