Sherfield, who recently turned 30, was last with the Bills for the 2023 NFL season, during former head coach Sean McDermott\u2019s tenure.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">During that 2023 season, Sherfield caught 11 passes (22 targets) for 86 yards and one touchdown \u2014 with four of his receptions going for first downs, per <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/S\/SherTr00.htm\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Pro Football Reference;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Pro Football Reference&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Pro Football Reference<\/a>. While his numbers don\u2019t necessarily stand out as a player who appeared on 392 snaps (34%), Sherfield brought a physical element to Buffalo\u2019s offense as a wide receiver with a penchant for blocking downfield. Sherfield also played the role of special teams gunner during the 2023 season, and appeared on 35% of special teams snaps (150 total). That\u2019s a role the Bills could ask him to reprise this season.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Prior to returning to One Bills Drive, <a
