The Buffalo Bills are still rebuilding their defensive front.
Their latest addition comes with 21.5 career sacks and two Super Bowl rings.
Buffalo signed veteran outside linebacker Mike Danna to a one-year contract on Monday, the team announced. Cornerback MJ Devonshire was released in a corresponding move.
Danna, 28, spent the first six seasons of his NFL career with the Kansas City Chiefs, where he developed into a versatile defensive lineman and won two Super Bowls.
The Bills have Greg Rousseau, Bradley Chubb, Michael Hoecht and second-round draft pick TJ Parker listed as their outside linebackers, but with Hoecht still recovering from Achilles’ surgery, and Parker being a rookie who will need time to develop, they recognized their thin on the edge.
Danna played in 15 games for Kansas City last season for a total of 452 defensive snaps, mostly on the edge in a 4-3 front so he’ll probably have to make an adjustment similar to what Rousseau - who has spent his career in a 4-3 - is undergoing.
