Buffalo Bills Re-Sign DT Phidarian Mathis to One-Year Contract

The Buffalo Bills have re-signed defensive tackle Phidarian Mathis to a one-year contract, with terms undisclosed. Mathis, who turns 28 in April, was a former second-round pick by the Commanders. After injury-plagued seasons elsewhere, he joined the Bills' practice squad in September 2025 and was elevated to the 53-man roster in November. He played in six regular season games, totaling 13 tackles, and appeared in one playoff game. Mathis (6'4", 312 lbs) showed good burst and anchor against the run, profiling as a scheme-versatile player for the Bills' new defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard.
