The Bills have made several moves to re-build their punting game this offseason
The Buffalo Bills have made plenty of moves this offseason to re-work the team’s situation at punter. On Monday, March 31, Ian Rapoport reported that the Bills had agreed to terms with free-agent punter Brad Robbins. Contract parameters were not available at the time of publishing.
A former sixth-round draft pick of the Cincinnati Bengals in the 2023 NFL Draft, the 26-year-old Robbins has just one season of professional experience. He didn’t play in 2024, after appearing in 17 games with the Bengals as a rookie. A quadriceps injury suffered during preseason sent Robbins to Injured Reserve, with Cincinnati eventually releasing him in October of 2024.
With Cincinnati, Robbins averaged 44.3 yards per punt, with a net average of 40.1, a long of 62, five touchbacks, and 20 of his 76 punts downed inside the 20 yard line.

Robbins now joins a special teams unit in Buffalo where youth is the primary movement. Early in March, the Bills released 35-year-old punter Sam Martin, who had spent the three previous seasons booting footballs for Buffalo — and has since signed with the Carolina Panthers. Martin’s dismissal came after the Bills signed free-agent punter Jake Camarda to a reserve/future contract this past January.
