A new UFL season is underway, and here's a full, easy-to-follow list of former Buffalo Bills players now on UFL rosters and when they were in Buffalo.
Spring football always feels a little more fun when you recognize names, and that’s definitely the case this year in the United Football League (UFL).
For Buffalo Bills fans, there’s a long list of familiar faces scattered across UFL rosters. In fact, there are 20 of them. Most of them came through Buffalo recently, especially during the 2024 and 2025 offseasons, when the team cycled through a large group of players during training camp.
Some were there for a few weeks, while others stuck around longer. Now, they’re getting another shot in the UFL.
Here are all the former Bills players currently in the UFL, and when they played in Buffalo.
Wide receivers
This is where the largest group shows up, with six former Bills receivers currently on UFL rosters.
- Deon Cain – Had three separate stints with the Bills during training camps in both 2024 and 2025. He was also on the practice squad for just about a month in 2024. Now, he's with the Birmingham Stallions.
- Laviska Shenault Jr. – Signed in March 2025, released at final cuts that summer. Like Cain, he is with the Stallions.

Defense
Of all the former Bills to be in the UFL, this is the group that has, arguably, the biggest name for Bills fans.
- DE Boogie Basham – Second-round pick in 2021, spent two seasons with Buffalo, but never became the player they needed. Plays for the DC Defenders.

Special teams

- P Jack Browning – Signed with the Bills as an undrafted free agent in 2024, but was released during training camp.
More than anything, this list is a reminder of how much movement there is behind the scenes in the NFL and what there is still out there for players.
The UFL has become a real second opportunity for those who were right on the edge of making a roster. For a lot of these guys, Buffalo was just one stop, but it shows how close they were.
And for fans, it makes the UFL a little more interesting. There’s a good chance you’ll turn on a game and recognize a name from just last training camp.
