The Buffalo Bills have signed former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Deon Cain, the team announced on Monday.
Cain joins the Bills after a workout with the team and an excellent season in the UFL with the Birmingham Stallions, a team he has played for over the last three years.
Cain spent time in the 2024 season with the Buffalo Bills and Carolina Panthers, but the Bills released him in December. Now, he re-joins the Bills after spending a portion of his time with the team last year.
A sixth-round pick out of Clemson in the 2018 NFL Draft by the Indianapolis Colts, his journey in the NFL started there. However, he lasted just one full season in Indianapolis before the Steelers plucked him up in 2019 amid multiple injuries to their wide receiver room. Cain made some standout plays in the run with Mason Rudolph and Duck Hodges at quarterback.
While with the Stallions, he earned the USFL Championship Game MVP after catching three touchdowns, and turning heads as a result of his play. The 28-year-old Cain had won back-to-back championships with the Stallions before the team failed to three-peat this season.
