WR Keon Coleman is now the only unsigned 2024 Bills draft pick.

On Tuesday morning, the Buffalo Bills signed nearly their entire 2024 draft class to rookie contracts, with the exception of international player and offensive tackle, Travis Clayton, who had already signed his contract with the team on May 9. Wide receiver Keon Coleman is now the lone 2024 Buffalo draft pick to sign his rookie contract.

Nonetheless, it’s always a good feeling to put the pen to the paper and sign your first NFL contract. The eight players that inked their deals today include safety Cole Bishop, defensive tackle DeWayne Carter, running back Ray Davis, offensive lineman Sedrick Van Pran-Granger, linebacker Edefuan Ulofoshio, defensive end Javon Solomon, offensive tackle Tylan Grable and cornerback Daequan Hardy. Only time will tell which players make impacts strong enough to see them sign a returning offer to stay with Buffalo in a few years time.

Bishop and Carters deals are the only ones that immediately impact Buffalo’s salary cap. In the offseason, only the top 51 cap hits count, and Davis, Van Pran-Granger, and the rest of the class are all below $1 million. Carter and Bishop’s deals combined only shift Buffalo’s cap commitment by roughly $300,000, as they were just a smidge higher than the contracts they are replacing in the top 51.
