Bills claim receiver Quentin Skinner off waivers

The Bills claimed Quentin Skinner off waivers after the Jets released the 2025 undrafted receiver from Kansas, the team announced. Skinner, 24, was a three-year starter for Kansas after walking on and recorded 1,584 yards and 11 touchdowns over three seasons. He also led the Big 12 in yards per catch in 2024.

He has one official catch for 10 yards in his NFL career, a reception that came in the final game of the season against the Bills, thrown by Brady Cook. He also caught a two-point conversion in that game. Skinner, who was released for the second time this offseason by the Jets on Monday, stands at 6-foot-5 and 195 pounds and runs a 4.52 40-yard dash.

The Bills are remaking their receiver room this offseason after trading for DJ Moore. The veteran now tops the depth chart for a position that was a weakness for the team last season. Keon Coleman, who was drafted at the top of the second round in the 2024 NFL Draft, has been a disappointment to this point.

It is unclear whether Coleman will even start this year, as Moore will start outside, with Khalil Shakir expected to be the slot receiver and Joshua Palmer projected to be the other outside wideout. Skinner will likely be in a fight just to make the roster. The Jets roster includes star Garrett Wilson, Adonai Mitchell and rookie newcomer Omar Cooper Jr.

as targets for returning quarterback Geno Smith. The Jets also have rookie Kenyon Sadiq listed as their starting tight end on their latest projected depth chart.
