Overview
- Jermaine Burton received a rookie minicamp invite from Buffalo, a move multiple outlets reported Sunday, April 26, as he seeks an NFL return.
- The invitation carries no contract and he must earn a spot on the 90-man roster during the May 9–10 session.
- Cincinnati drafted Burton in the third round in 2024, he logged four catches for 107 yards over 14 games, then the team suspended him before the Dec. 8 Bills game and waived him the next day after a year without a 2025 appearance.
- A police incident report obtained by ESPN in January 2025 alleged he choked and hit his ex-girlfriend, and a 2022 video showed him striking a woman who rushed the field after Alabama’s loss at Tennessee.
- Buffalo’s receiver group features D.J. Moore, Khalil Shakir, Josh Palmer and fourth-round pick Skyler Bell, so Burton’s downfield speed is a low-cost bet only if he earns a longer look.
