Is Mack Hollins a free agent? Exploring Bills WR's contract, remaining tenure, and more

The Buffalo Bills roster from the 2024 season included a number of depth players and supporting cast members who will become free agents this offseason. One of these players is wide receiver Mack Hollins, who finished the 2024 season with 31 receptions, 378 yards, and five touchdowns.

Hollins, who signed a one-year contract last year, was one of the Bills' more affordable offseason additions. At the beginning of the season, he was just supposed to contribute on special lineups and be an offensive depth option, but he turned out to be more valuable than that. Even though he didn't have very impressive stats, he was one of Josh Allen’s most trusted passing options.

Exploring the details of Mack Hollins's expiring contract

Mack Hollins signed a one-year contract with the Buffalo Bills after Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis left last year. According to Spotrac, the deal, which was seen as a "prove-it deal," was valued at $2.6 million overall, it included a $1.54 million basic salary along with $1.1 million in fully guaranteed money.

Over the past three seasons, Hollins has inked contracts totaling between $2 million and $2.6 million, and if the Bills decide to re-sign him this offseason, he will likely have to sign for a similar sum. Despite his production last season, his age (31) is a factor that could impact the kind of contract he is offered.

Although Hollins is not the kind of receiver who will have a season with 1000 yards or 10 touchdowns, if he is re-signed, he could be an ideal fourth-string receiver and an essential player on Buffalo's special teams.
