Buffalo Bills claim DT Star off waivers

Buffalo, NY – May 9, 2025 — The Buffalo Bills have made another addition to their defensive front, claiming defensive tackle Casey Rogers off waivers from the New York Giants, the team confirmed Friday evening. With this move, Buffalo now has just one open spot remaining on the offseason roster ahead of mandatory minicamp.

Rogers’ journey to the NFL is anything but conventional. A native of Syracuse, NY, he was a standout lacrosse player at Westhill High School and was initially committed to play lacrosse at Syracuse University. However, Rogers ultimately shifted focus to football, accepting an offer from the University of Nebraska.

While with the Cornhuskers, Rogers appeared in 19 games, recording 41 tackles (15 solo), six tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, and two pass breakups. After three seasons in Lincoln, he entered the transfer portal and continued his collegiate career at the University of Oregon, where he saw action in 27 games, notching 56 tackles (20 solo), seven tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, a fumble recovery, a forced fumble, and even an interception returned for a touchdown.

Despite going undrafted in 2024, Rogers signed with the Giants as a free agent and was active for two games last season, though he did not register any stats.

At his Pro Day, Rogers impressed scouts with a combination of size and athleticism. Standing 6’4 3/8” and weighing nearly 300 pounds, he clocked a 4.82-second 40-yard dash, a 1.75-second 10-yard split, and a 7.45-second three-cone drill. He also recorded a 35” vertical jump, 9’8” broad jump, and 25 reps on the bench press.

The Bills are hoping Rogers can tap into that athletic upside and add depth to a competitive defensive tackle rotation.

Dan Campbell Reveals Amon-Ra St. Brown’s Injury Update and Praises His “Extraordinary Will” After 44–30 Win Over Cowboys
Detroit, Michigan – After the fiery 44–30 victory over the Dallas Cowboys, head coach Dan Campbell entered the press room with a mixture of relief and pride. It wasn’t just because the Lions kept their momentum heading into the end of the season — it was also because of positive news regarding star Amon-Ra St. Brown. Campbell confirmed that the ankle injury that had the entire team worried all week is actually only minor and will fully recover in one to two days. Campbell said St. Brown was nearly listed as out before the game, yet he still appeared in the lineup and played at an intensity no different from someone completely healthy. That, according to Campbell, perfectly reflects St. Brown’s true nature. No quitting, no complaining, and always ready to fight for Detroit. In a game with huge playoff implications, that performance became even more valuable. When asked about St. Brown’s spirit, Campbell couldn’t hide his pride. He shared with deep emotion about his player’s tireless fighting mentality. “His will is completely different. He never accepts taking a step back, no matter how much his body hurts. St. Brown is the one who sets the standard for us every day, and no one can replace that spirit.” Those words left the entire press room silent for a few seconds. On the field, St. Brown continued to prove his worth with six catches for 92 yards, becoming the focal point of the Lions’ offense. His presence not only opened opportunities for teammates but also gave Jared Goff confidence in critical moments. Those efforts came from a player who, just hours before kickoff, was still undergoing constant medical checks to determine if he could play. Campbell closed the press conference with a clear message that the win over the Cowboys wasn’t just about tactics or talent — it was about the fighting spirit of players like St. Brown. The news that his injury is only a minor issue allowed the entire team to breathe a sigh of relief. And if the Lions truly want to go far this season, the image of St. Brown rising above the pain will be the inspiration for the whole team on the road ahead.
