New $36M Addition Declares: “I’m What the Bills Have Been Missing”

Buffalo, NY – July 21, 2025

There’s a new energy in Orchard Park as Buffalo reloads for another Super Bowl push. The offseason’s biggest move sent a clear message: this team believes it’s one key player away from finally reaching the summit.

While much of the NFL spotlight has focused on Buffalo’s defense, the front office quietly reshaped the receiving corps. The plan? Add a proven playmaker with both the production and poise to thrive under postseason pressure.

Across four years with the Chargers, the numbers speak for themselves: 61 games, 186 catches, over 2,100 yards, and 11 touchdowns. Last season alone, he posted 38 grabs, 580 yards, and proved himself reliable even in a crowded depth chart.

The secret to his success? A mix of 4.51 speed, toughness over the middle, and an uncanny 60% contested catch rate—tools built for crunch-time moments in Buffalo’s ambitious attack.

"I would like the Bills to win it... I feel like Buffalo are on the edge of greatness. And I didn’t come here just to watch it happen — I came to help finish the job." Joshua Palmer’s confidence hasn’t gone unnoticed, setting the tone for a locker room still hungry after heartbreak.

With a three-year, $36 million contract and $18 million guaranteed, Palmer isn’t just another weapon—he’s the signal that Buffalo is all-in, eager to fill the void left by Stefon Diggs and ignite Joe Brady’s RPO-heavy scheme.

Chemistry with Josh Allen is still a work in progress, and the battle at WR2 with Khalil Shakir and rookie Keon Coleman looms. Still, the belief in what Palmer brings is impossible to ignore.

For a city still aching for its first Lombardi, every snap matters. This season, the question isn’t if Palmer can make a difference, but if he truly is the missing piece to complete Buffalo’s Super Bowl puzzle.
