Bills bolster pass rush, sign Mike Danna The Bills have already addressed the outside linebacker through a few moves this offseason, including signing veteran Bradley Chubb and selecting Clemson’s T. J.
Parker with the No. 35 overall selection in the 2026 NFL Draft. But with returner Michael Hoecht coming off a torn right Achilles, Brandon Beane wanted to bring in more depth to the position, and Danna represents a solid signing.
Danna, 28, spent the first six seasons of his NFL career with the Kansas City Chiefs, where he won two Super Bowls and emerged as a versatile and valuable defensive lineman. For his career, Danna has amassed 21. 5 regular-season sacks and added two more in the playoffs, including a strip sack of Josh Allen in a win over the Bills in the 2024 AFC Championship game.
