The Buffalo Bills were frustrating their fanbase through the first two days of the NFL's free agency process. They had signed almost no one.
But on Wednesday about 4:20 p.m. ET, the Bills made a splash with a $43.5 million contract for former Dolphins pass rusher, Bradley Chubb.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the deal, which is slated to last three years.

Chubb will turn 30 years old in June. He's a 6-foot-4, 268-pound edge rusher originally from Marietta, Georgia.
He played his college football at North Carolina State before the Denver Broncos drafted him fifth overall in the 2018 NFL Draft.
Chubb has made two Pro Bowls.
He spent his first four-and-a-half NFL seasons with the Broncos, then has been with the Dolphins since midway through the 2022 campaign.
Chubb had 12.0 sacks in his rookie 2018 season, which is still a career best.
In 2023, Chubb had 11.0 sacks. He missed 2024 with a torn ACL.
In 2025, Chubb played all 17 games and had 8.5 sacks.
In his career, Chubb has 48.0 sacks and 15 forced fumbles. He led the league with six forced fumbles in 2023.
Chubb isn't Trey Hendrickson or Maxx Crosby, but he's a big boost for a Buffalo pass rush that is likely to lose Joey Bosa elsewhere in free agency.
Finally, Buffalo made a move, and it could be a good one.
