Damar Hamlin Returns to Bills on One-Year Deal

0:00It's March 27, I'm Cory with the story, and this is NFL News Today Football News powered by AI. Buffalo Bill's defensive back to Mar Hamlin is back with the team on a one-year contract, marking his six season after more than three years since his, on-field cardiac arrest. The 28-year-old, who just celebrated his birthday on Tuesday, entered free agency for the second straight year. He first resigned last spring for $2 million, following the end of his rookie deal, after being picked in the sixth round back in 20. 21. Hamlin broke into the starting lineup during his second season, but everything changed on January 2nd, 2023, in a game against the Cincinnati Bengals. A chess blow triggered Commodio Cortes, stopping his heart until medical staff revived him during a hospital stay of over nine days. He made an inspiring return just nine months later, that same year. Last season, he started 14 games, though he appeared in only five without a start this past year, totaling 27 starts over 53, games in five seasons.
