Curtis Samuel

Curtis Samuel caught 1-of-3 targets for four yards and a touchdown in Buffalo’s AFC Championship Game loss to the Chiefs.

Samuel was left essentially uncovered on fourth-and-goal and held on to a Josh Allen rocket for a score in the back of the end zone. That helped make up for a drop earlier in the game where he was wide open underneath with plenty of turf in front of him that he couldn’t quite corral. Incredibly, Samuel has a $9.06 million cap figure in 2025 and the Bills cannot easily clear any of the contract without a trade partner. He finished the year with a 31/253/1 line and just three games with more than four targets. He’ll probably be on the Bills roster in some form in 2025, but this was not an auspicious start to his three-year, $24 million deal.
