The Buffalo Bills keep adding help in the secondary.
Buffalo is signing veteran safety Geno Stone to a one-year contract, according to NFL reporter Jordan Schultz.
Stone appeared to confirm the move shortly afterward, posting “Bills Mafia !!” on X along with a GIF of a fan jumping through a table.
Stone, 26, becomes the third outside defensive back the Bills have added in free agency, joining cornerback Dee Alford and safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson as part of Buffalo’s effort to rebuild its secondary around cornerbacks Christian Benford and Maxwell Hairston.
The Bills entered the offseason with major turnover at safety after the departures of Jordan Poyer, Damar Hamlin and Taylor Rapp, leaving 2024 second-round pick Cole Bishop as the only returning starter with significant experience.
Stone has played six NFL seasons with the Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals. He has appeared in 85 career games with 53 starts, recording 312 tackles, 14 interceptions and 21 pass breakups.
His breakout season came in 2023 with Baltimore, when he intercepted seven passes.
Stone spent the past two seasons with the Bengals, starting all 17 games in both 2024 and 2025. Last season he finished with 104 tackles, two interceptions and two sacks.
He led the Bengals with nine tackles and added a sack and two tackles for loss in the Bengals' Week 14 loss to the Bills in 2025.
Originally a seventh-round pick by Baltimore in the 2020 NFL draft out of Iowa, Stone has developed into a versatile safety capable of playing both free safety and strong safety.
