Safety Damar Hamlin is staying in Buffalo. <\/p>\n
The Bills announced on Friday that they have re-signed Hamlin to a one-year deal. It\u2019s the second straight offseason that has seen Hamlin opt for a new one-year deal with the team that drafted him in the sixth round in 2021. <\/p>\n
Hamlin\u2019s 2025 season was cut short by a pectoral injury that landed him on injured reserve after five games. Hamlin was a reserve in those appearances after serving as a starter in the secondary during the 2024 season. <\/p>\n
Hamlin was also a starter in December 2022 when he went into cardiac arrest during a game against the Bengals. Hamlin\u2019s heartbeat was restored by medical personnel on the field and he was later determined to have suffered commotio cardis, a condition that occurs when the cardiac rhythm is interrupted by a severe blow to the chest. <\/p>\n
Hamlin was able to return to play five games during the 2023 season and will now begin preparations for his sixth season on the Buffalo defense. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Safety Damar Hamlin is staying in Buffalo.
