The Buffalo Bills appear set to sign cornerback Dee Alford to a three-year free-agent deal worth up to $10 million —and a contract that includes $10 million guaranteed, per a report by Jordan Schultz. Alford will be familiar to many within Bills Mafia circles for the game he put together against Buffalo last season. As part of a suffocating Atlanta Falcons defense in 2025, Alford played a key role in frustrating quarterback Josh Allen into costly mistakes last season.

Primarily viewed as a nickel/slot cornerback, the 5’11”, 180-pound Alford’s professional football career actually began with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the CFL. Alford was with Winnipeg for the 2020 and 2021 CFL seasons, winning a Grey Cup Championship with them in 2021.

After his CFL stint, Alford headed for the NFL, joining the Atlanta Falcons by way of a reserve/future contract to begin 2022. In 2025, Alford signed a new, one-year deal to remain with the Falcons. Amid an-and-down campaign last season, Alford’s play shone bright under the primetime lights of Monday Night Football in a game where he intercepted Josh Allen once, claimed three pass defenses in coverage, while making six tackles (4 solo), one tackle for loss, one quarterback hit, and one sack during a 24-14 victory.
