ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) \u2014 The Buffalo Bills continued adding to their secondary by signing safety Geno Stone to a one-year contract on Monday.<\/p>\n

Stone has six NFL seasons of experience, and was a starter the past two years with Cincinnati. The 26-year-old was selected by Baltimore in the seventh round of the 2020 draft out of Iowa, and spent his first four seasons with the Ravens.<\/p>\n

Stone had a career-best seven interceptions in his final season in Baltimore, and added six more in 34 games with the Bengals, including two returned for touchdowns. He was a free agent after completing a two-year contract.<\/p>\n

He joins C.J. Gardner-Johnson as the second safety signed by Buffalo in free agency. The Bills defense is undergoing a transition with Jim Leonhard taking over as coordinator under new coach Joe Brady.<\/p>\n

Stone has experience playing both safety positions. He and Gardner-Johnson are projected to compete for a starting job opposite Cole Bishop, and after Buffalo released Taylor Rapp earlier this month.<\/p>\n
