The Buffalo Bills have made a significant move to enhance their defense by securing outside linebacker Bradley Chubb. The 29-year-old has inked a three-year contract worth $43.5 million, potentially escalating to $52.5 million, according to a report by ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Contract Details
Chubb’s new contract includes $29 million in guaranteed money. This deal marks a strategic enhancement to the Bills’ pass rush, following their recent struggles in that area.
Chubb’s Career Overview
Before joining the Bills, Chubb played for the Miami Dolphins after being traded from the Denver Broncos in late 2022. During his tenure with the Dolphins, he recorded 22.0 sacks over three seasons.
Injury History
Despite his impressive statistics, Chubb’s career has been marred by injuries. He missed the entire 2024 season and had limited participation in 2019 and 2021, playing only four and seven games, respectively. However, he showed resilience in 2025, achieving 8.5 sacks, forcing two fumbles, and hitting quarterbacks 20 times across all 17 games.
Pass Rush Reinforcement
The Bills are looking to pair Chubb with Greg Rousseau to strengthen their pass rush. Last season, they attempted to bolster their defense by signing Joey Bosa to a one-year deal, yet he managed only five sacks and recorded only one QB hit in the postseason.
- Chubb’s contract: Three years, up to $52.5 million
- Guaranteed money: $29 million
- Career sacks with Dolphins: 22.0
- 2025 performance: 8.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, 20 QB hits
Defensive Additions
Chubb is not the only recent addition to the Bills’ defense. They also signed cornerback Dee Alford to a three-year contract earlier this week, further indicating their commitment to strengthening the team’s defensive lineup.
