Bills sign second round draft pick T.J. Sanders to rookie contract

ERIE COUNTY, NEW YORK, JUL 18 – T.J. Sanders signed a four-year rookie contract worth $10.65 million with $10.07 million guaranteed, finalizing Buffalo Bills' entire 2025 draft class before training camp.

  • On Friday, July 18, 2025, in Orchard Park, NY, the Buffalo Bills finalized a four-year rookie contract worth $10.645 million with their second-round draft selection, T.J. Sanders, who plays on the defensive line.
  • The signing ended a holdout by several second-round picks who sought fully guaranteed deals, a situation triggered by the Houston Texans' fully guaranteed contract for Jayden Higgins.
  • Sanders, drafted 41st overall after the Bills traded up 15 spots, is a 6-foot-4, 297-pound interior lineman known for his disruptiveness against run and pass and strong collegiate production.
  • The contract guarantees $10.073 million, or about 95 percent of its value, which is less than recent fully guaranteed deals but still a substantial guarantee for a second-round rookie.
  • With Sanders signed, the Bills have all their 2025 draft selections under contract and expect him to contribute in a rotational role alongside veterans Ed Oliver and DaQuan Jones.
