Bills predicted to draft QB.
The Buffalo Bills made a minor move on Tuesday, signing tight end Shane Zylstra to a one-year contract and releasing kicker Maddux Trujillo.
Zylstra has been in the NFL since 2021, spending five seasons with the Detroit Lions. However, that’s not where his professional career began. The 29-year-old tight end entered the league as an undrafted free agent, signing with the Minnesota Vikings. This move made sense, given that he played college football at Minnesota State from 2015 to 2019.
Minnesota let Zylstra go during final roster cuts following training camp in 2021, after which he joined the Lions’ practice squad in September of that year. Zylstra appeared in 35 games with the Lions, recording 18 receptions for 136 yards and four scores.
