In a surprising turn for the 2025 NFL season, the Buffalo Bills have officially announced that wide receiver Mack Hollins will not be returning to the team. After a standout 2024 season with the Bills, where he led the team with five receiving touchdowns and became a key contributor on special teams, Hollins has signed a two-year contract with the New England Patriots .
Hollins’ departure marks a significant change for the Bills’ offense. Known for his versatility and leadership, he was instrumental in the team’s “Everybody Eats” approach, which emphasized a balanced offensive strategy without relying on a single star receiver . His ability to make crucial plays and his presence in the locker room will be missed.
The move to the Patriots reunites Hollins with coach Josh McDaniels, under whom he had a career-best season with the Las Vegas Raiders. As the Bills adjust their roster for the upcoming season, Hollins’ exit will undoubtedly be felt both on and off the field.
