Bills, Safety Geno Stone Agree to One-Year Deal

The Buffalo Bills and free-agent safety Geno Stone agreed to an undisclosed one-year deal on Friday, a source told ESPN's Alaina Getzenberg. The Bills haven't re-signed safeties Jordan Poyer, Damar Hamlin, and Darnell Savage, and they cut Taylor Rapp for salary cap space. To help bolster their secondary going into the 2026 season, Buffalo also came to a one-year deal worth up to $6 million with veteran safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson on Thursday. The 26-year-old Stone spent the last two years with the Cincinnati Bengals and had a career-high 104 tackles in 2025. He was originally a seventh-round pick by the Baltimore Ravens in 2020 out of Iowa. Stone played better in the second half of last season, but overall, the Bengals' defense was once again a weak spot. He'll give the Bills an experienced safety who has 312 career tackles (205 solo), two sacks, and 14 interceptions (two returned for touchdowns) in his six years in the NFL. In fantasy IDP leagues in 2025, Stone was the No. 10 defensive back in overall fantasy points.
