Sherfield signed a contract with the Bills on Thursday. Sherfield played 17 regular-season games for Buffalo in 2023, finishing with 11 catches for 86 yards and one touchdown. The 30-year-old wide receiver has 89 catches for 1,034 yards and six touchdowns in 124 regular-season games split between six teams. His ability to contribute on special teams could help Sherfield make the team in a depth role.
New England signed Sherfield to its practice squad Wednesday. Less than a week after getting cut from the New England's practice squad, Sherfield is now back in the fold with the club ahead of the Super Bowl. With veteran Mack Hollins dealing with an abdomen issue, there's a small chance the Patriots could need to call for reinforcements at wide receiver for that contest, which may have influenced their decision to bring Sherfield back onto the practice squad.
The Patriots cut Sherfield from the practice squad Saturday. Sherfield was not elevated for last Sunday's playoff win over the Texans. The wide receiver was likely signed to bolster depth due to the injury to Mack Hollins (abdomen). The 29-year-old could be signed to the practice squad of any team that is still in Super Bowl contention, depending on receiver needs that may develop after Sunday's games.
