Dawuane Smoot

Bills signed DE Dawuane Smoot, formerly of the Jaguars.

The Jaguars allowed Smoot’s contract to expire at the end of the 2023 season, paving the way for the Bills to bring on the veteran end. Smoot appeared in just 12 games last season due to a torn Achilles injury he suffered late in the 2022 season. He managed just 10 tackles and one sack in those games but had totaled five or more sacks in each of the previous seasons before his injury. Whether or not he’ll be able to get back to his old form is to be determined, but another year removed from injury should bode well for Smoot, who is heading into his eighth year in the league.
