Pettis signed with Bills to fill punt returner role after Shakir handled it last season.

Pettis signed a one-year, $1.3 million deal with Buffalo on 7/30/2026 to address the Bills' punt returner need after they used Khalil Shakir in that role last season. He has extensive punt return experience from his 2025 stint with New Orleans, where he averaged 6.1 yards per punt return on 13 attempts and 23.4 yards per kickoff return on 15 attempts. The source notes the Bills want to avoid using a top offensive weapon at returner, creating an opening for Pettis if he performs well in preseason.
