The Buffalo Bills are adding a veteran pass rusher to the fold this offseason.

The Buffalo Bills are making a savvy move to bolster their pass rush, bringing in a familiar face from a division rival. On Monday, the team signed veteran outside linebacker Mike Danna to a one-year deal, as reported by ESPN's Alaina Getzenberg.

Danna, 28, spent the last six seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs, where he became a Super Bowl champion and a frequent thorn in the Bills' side. The Chiefs released him in February to free up salary cap space, but Danna's experience against Buffalo is extensive—he faced them in five regular-season games and four postseason matchups. In fact, during the 2024 AFC Championship Game, he notched his only sack against the Bills, a strip sack on Josh Allen that the quarterback managed to recover.

Danna's most impactful season came during Kansas City's 2022-23 championship run, where he recorded 27 tackles, five sacks, and two forced fumbles in 13 games, adding six tackles in three postseason contests. He followed that up with a career-best 50 tackles and 6.5 sacks in 2023. While his production dipped last season to 25 tackles and one sack, Danna remains a reliable veteran presence who knows how to pressure quarterbacks in big moments.

For a Bills team looking to add depth and experience to their pass-rushing rotation, Danna is a solid, low-risk addition. His familiarity with Buffalo's system and opponents—especially the high-octane AFC—could make this one-year deal a smart value play as the Bills continue shaping their roster for another playoff push.
