According to ESPN’s Alaina Getzenberg, the Bills signed a 28-year-old former Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl champion defender.
“The Bills added a familiar former opponent to the roster, signing outside linebacker Mike Danna to a one-year deal Monday,” Getzenberg reported.
“Danna, 28, had played the last six seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs, who released him Feb. 23 in a move to create salary cap space ahead of the new league year.”
“During his time with the Chiefs, he faced the Bills in five regular-season games and four postseason matchups. In the AFC Championship Game during the 2024 season, Danna recorded his only sack against Buffalo -- a strip sack on Josh Allen that the quarterback recovered.”
Danna was an impactful defensive contributor for the Chiefs during the 2022-23 championship season, finishing the year with 27 tackles, five sacks, and two forced fumbles across 13 contests (6 tackles in 3 postseason contests).
Danna’s best campaign with the Chiefs came the following season, though, as he logged a career-best 50 tackles and 6.5 sacks in 16 outings.
Although the Michigan product wasn’t a game-changer with Kansas City last year, totaling 25 tackles and one sack, he’s undoubtedly a solid addition to a Bills squad clearly looking to add a veteran pass rusher to the fold this offseason.
