Meet the newest member of the Bills defensive secondary

This DB is likely nothing more then a preseason player

The Buffalo Bills have bolstered their defensive secondary with a few new acquisitions this offseason. Among them is Anthony Kendall, a cornerback with the Tennessee Titans from the 2023 NFL Draft. Standing at 5'10" and weighing 188 lbs, Kendall is 26 years old, having turned 27 on December 19, 2026. He signed a one-year contract with the Bills for $1.075 million, which is the league minimum for his service time.

This contract will also be his cap hit if he makes the 53-man roster. The Bills can release Kendall without incurring a dead cap charge.

Kendall spent the 2025 offseason with the Cleveland Browns but did not play in any preseason games as he was waived on August 5 with an injury designation, a shoulder injury that saw him miss the entire 2025 season. He remains a free agent after Cleveland released him. Currently, Kendall is one of nine players listed at cornerback on the Buffalo roster, including Kani Walker, Maxwell Hairston, Christian Benford, Dee Alford, Davison Igbinosun, Toriano Pride Jr., Jordan Dunbar, D.J. Miller, Te’Cory Couch, and Jordan Hancock.

Kendall is set to practice with Buffalo as he begins his preseason journey, with a preseason opener against the Carolina Panthers scheduled for August 15. Despite his potential, given his athletic testing numbers from college, the odds are stacked against Kendall making the 53-man roster. His preseason role seems likely to be more about helping the team meet roster requirements for the preseason games.
