The Bills’ wide receiver room continues to change this offseason, with a depth addition being agreed to on Monday. Trent Sherfield is signing a one-year deal to head to Buffalo, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter (Twitter link). The team has since confirmed the move.
The 27-year-old spent the first three years of his career with the Cardinals, including the 2018 season in which he flashed potential with a 19-210-1 statline. His production dropped significantly after that campaign, however, and he made an intra-divisional move to the 49ers in 2021. His lone season in the Bay Area yielded little in the way of usage or production, so his move to Miami last offseason generated little attention.
Sherfield arrived with the Dolphins after they made a number of changes on offense, including the addition of Tyreek Hill at the WR position. Still, the former enjoyed a career-year in Miami in a number of categories, something made possible by his 58% snap share. Sherfield recorded 417 yards and a pair of touchdowns on 30 receptions, demonstrating his potential as a complimentary receiver within the right scheme fit.
Now, the former UDFA is set to join another AFC East team, with an eye on repeating his success from 2022. The Bills have Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis at the top of their depth chart, but they have moved on from slot man Isaiah McKenzie and brought in returner Deonte Harty as they continue to reshape their secondary options in the passing game. Sherfield will look to carve out a role for himself in Buffalo similar to the one he held last year in Miami. Another productive year could help earn him a more lucrative pact from the Bills or another interested team next offseason.
Training camp body who might be lucky enough to make the practice squad.
To be honest I was upset when he left SF. He seemed poised for a break out. Maybe it hasn’t happened but Miami had a top heavy WR attack. The Bill’s got a Dolphin and a Patriot today. Feel like that division had a bunch of players swap teams
