Former Falcons Cornerback Signs Three-Year Contract with Bills in Free Agency Dee Alford, a former undrafted free agent who spent his entire NFL career with the Atlanta Falcons, has signed a three-year, $21 million contract with the Buffalo Bills, according to a report from ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. The deal includes $10.12 million in guaranteed money. Alford, 28, joined the Falcons in 2022 and has since appeared in 64 games (23 starts) while recording 216 tackles (159 solo), four interceptions, 37 passes defended, and 3.5 sacks. His performance has positioned him as a key contributor to the Falcons’ defense, though he will now compete with the Bills’ revamped secondary. The Bills have made significant adjustments to their defensive backfield in recent weeks, parting ways with veteran players such as Dane Jackson, Taron Johnson, and Taylor Rapp. These moves are aimed at creating cap flexibility for the 2026 season. Alford’s signing is part of the Bills’ strategy to strengthen their secondary, which has been a focus area as they prepare for the upcoming season. Meanwhile, the Falcons have extended another undrafted free agent, cornerback Natrone Brooks, who is expected to step into Alford’s former role. Brooks’ contract extension signals the team’s commitment to developing its own talent while addressing key defensive positions. However, the Falcons also faced losses on Day 1 of the legal tampering period, including the departures of running back Tyler Allgeier and defensive lineman David Onyemata. Allgeier has joined the Arizona Cardinals, while Onyemata is heading to the New York Jets. In addition to these roster changes, the Falcons released wide receivers Darnell Mooney and KhaDarel Hodge.#buffalo_bills #atlanta_falcons #dee_alford #jeremy_fowler #2026_nfl_free_agency_tracker
