NFL free agency has already brought a ton of action that has affected the race for Super Bowl 60. Those moves included Ohio State Buckeyes, including Luke Farrell, Justin Fields, and Baron Browning.
While Emeka Egbuka is still waiting until the 2025 NFL Draft to find out where he'll spend his first few years, we can cross off one of his first-round possibilities. The Buffalo Bills signed wide receiver Joshua Palmer to a three-year deal on Monday.
The Buffalo Bills have reached an agreement with former Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer on a three-year, $36 million deal, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Monday.
After the Chargers moved on from wide receivers Keenan Allen and Mike Williams, Palmer, who had played behind them for three seasons, appeared poised for an increased role, but that never materialized. Palmer finished the season with 39 catches for 584 yards and one touchdown.
Palmer, just 25, cashed in on a solid $36 million deal after producing 39 catches for 584 yards and one touchdown. The Bills were looking to replace Mack Hollins and now have a young receiver room that is locked in for years. He joins Khalil Shakir, who also received a huge payday, 2024 second-rounder Keon Coleman, and veteran Curtis Samuel.
Egbuka has been mocked anywhere from the teens to the late first round. Buffalo made a lot of sense as a fit for Josh Allen, but it's possible they didn't expect Egbuka to fall into their laps at No. 30 overall.
The Buckeyes' all-time receiving leader after a fantastic four-year career in Columbus, Egbuka is arguably the most pro-ready receiver in the class. He produced 205 receptions for 2,868 yards and 24 touchdowns from 2021 through 2024.
Teams like Denver, Seattle, Los Angeles Chargers, and Commanders could still have interest in Egbuka.
