Buffalo adds depth at linebacker with a familiar, modest roster move. Headlines suggest Ciarlo's return generates fan enthusiasm and scouting interest from the organization. His fumble recovery showcases occasional impact moments, but limited All-Pro caliber production. Fans view this as a nostalgic, low-risk depth signing rather than game-changing addition. Bills likely using him as a rotational backup competing for depth snaps this season.
