A low-risk depth move that barely registers on the roster significance meter. Multiple headlines confirm this is a practice squad-level transaction with minimal starting upside. The key signal is Kansas City poaching Buechele off Buffalo's practice squad after Mahomes injuries, suggesting he has some emergency value. Bills fans largely shrug — this is roster maintenance, not a competitive upgrade. Buechele projects as a career practice squad journeyman bouncing between teams as an emergency option.

This signing grades out as a bad deal for the Buffalo Bills — the team is paying more than the on-field production currently warrants. Shane's on-field performance ranks in the bottom quartile among NFL QBs, grading him as an unproven at the position. His $1.1M average annual value ranks as bargain money for the QB market. The concern here is the gap between production and cost — unproven output at bargain money means the team is paying a premium above the player's on-field value. The one-year deal minimizes the team's financial risk, effectively making this a prove-it contract.
