A classic camp-body signing with minimal guaranteed roster implications for Buffalo. Five headlines covered Gosnell, mostly framing him as a training camp curiosity rather than a real contributor. The strongest signal is his 'future deal' designation — typically reserved for developmental long shots. Fans are mildly intrigued by the Virginia Tech connection but hold realistic expectations. Gosnell is unlikely to survive final roster cuts and projects as a practice squad candidate at best.

This signing grades out as a significant overpay for the Buffalo Bills — the team is paying more than the on-field production currently warrants. Stephen's on-field performance ranks in the bottom quartile among NFL WRs, grading him as an unproven at the position. His $972K average annual value ranks as bargain money for the WR 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. Stephen is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract.
