Shane Buechele - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Rejoins Bills on practice squad Buechele signed a practice-squad contract with Buffalo on Monday, Alec White and Mike Maynard of the team's official site report.

Impact Buechele spent training camp with the Bills but was released Sunday. However, he'll stick with the organization as organizational depth on the practice squad. Unless Josh Allen or Kyle Allen become unavailable for any reason, Buechele isn't likely to be a regular part of Buffalo's gameday roster.

Cut by Buffalo The Bills released Buechele on Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Buechele was unable to impress enough during the offseason to challenge Kyle Allen for the team's backup quarterback role. Buechele spent the majority of last season on Buffalo's practice squad, serving as the team's emergency third quarterback and could serve the same role during the upcoming campaign.

Returning to Buffalo The Bills signed Buechele to a reserve/future contract Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Buechele is returning to Buffalo after spending the majority of the 2025 campaign on the team's practice squad. The 28-year-old also had a brief stint with the Chiefs, appearing in one game and completing seven of his 14 pass attempts for 88 yards while carrying the ball once for an additional four yards. He could be a candidate to serve as the Bills No. 3 quarterback again during the 2026 season.

Rejoins Bills' practice squad Buffalo signed Buechele to the practice squad Wednesday.

Impact Buechele spent the majority of the 2025 regular season on the Bills' practice squad, and he now returns to the unit as Buffalo prepares to begin the postseason with a wild-card round matchup against Jacksonville on Sunday. Due to being poached by Kansas City late December, Buechele got an opportunity to play the second half of the Chiefs' regular-season finale against the Raiders in Week 18, in which he completed seven of 14 passes for 88 yards while rushing once for four yards. He served as Kansas City's backup quarterback for the final two games of the regular season.

Cut loose by Kansas City The Chiefs waived Buechele on Monday, Charles Goldman of AtoZSports.com reports.

Impact Buechele spent the majority of the 2025 season on the Bills' practice squad before being signed to the Chiefs' active roster in late December. He served as Kansas City's backup quarterback for the final two games of the regular season behind Chris Oladokun, but Buechele ended up playing in the second half of Sunday's regular-season finale against the Raiders, when he completed seven of 14 passes for 88 yards while adding a four-yard carry. Assuming he clears waivers, Buechele will have the opportunity to reunite with the Bills on the practice squad or join another playoff team in need of a scout-team quarterback.
