A former Carolina Panthers wideout just had himself a short stay up in Orchard Park, N.Y.
As announced on Tuesday afternoon, the Buffalo Bills have released receiver Deven Thompkins. The 26-year-old signed with the team on June 11.
Thompkins, a Utah State product out of Fort Meyers, Fla., cracked into the NFL as an undrafted free agent with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2022. That's where he would first cross paths with Panthers head coach Dave Canales, who served as the Buccaners' offensive coordinator in 2023.
Following his two seasons in Tampa Bay, Thompkins rejoined Canales in Carolina ahead of the 2024 campaign. He'd go on to play in seven games for the Panthers that year, totaling four receptions for 20 yards along with five punt returns and five kickoff returns.
2025 would see Thompkins suit up for a third stint in the NFC South, as he appeared in seven contests for the Atlanta Falcons.
