This news comes on the heels of some major free-agent signings for the Buffalo defensive line. In addition to the blockbuster signing of superstar linebacker Von Miller, the Bills also re-signed free-agent DT DaQuan Jones and added former Washington DT Tim Settle.
Lotulelei played his first five seasons with the Carolina Panthers after he was selected with a first-round pick in the 2013 draft. He joined the Bills in 2018 and has played his last three seasons in Buffalo.
Now heading into his ninth NFL season, Lotulelei is an unrestricted free agent.
