Bills Linked to Stunning Colin Kaepernick Rumor After M.J. Devonshire Workout, Sending NFL Into Frenor

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — The NFL was thrust into sudden upheaval Tuesday after a viral social media post claimed the Buffalo Bills—fresh off a workout with cornerback M.J. Devonshire—are also being linked to a potential signing of former quarterback Colin Kaepernick.

The claim, circulating under the name of prominent league insider Adam Schefter, moved through digital platforms at breakneck speed—igniting intense debate, disbelief, and immediate reaction throughout the football world.

As of this publication, however, no official confirmation has been issued by the Buffalo Bills, the NFL, or any verified national reporting outlet. Team representatives declined to comment on what they described as “speculation regarding personnel matters.”

Still, the reputational weight of the name involved was enough to instantly dominate league discourse.

A Routine Workout — Followed by a Shockwave

What is confirmed is that the Bills recently worked out cornerback M.J. Devonshire, a logical move as Buffalo continues to evaluate depth on defense amid injuries and late-season adjustments.

What followed that routine transaction was anything but ordinary.

Within hours, social media platforms flooded with claims that Buffalo was preparing to take an unprecedented step—signing Colin Kaepernick, who has not appeared in an NFL game since 2016.

The response was immediate and overwhelming.

Why the NFL Reacted So Violently

For nearly a decade, Kaepernick has remained one of the most polarizing figures in American sports—a quarterback whose name still carries enormous cultural, political, and football significance.

The idea that the Bills—currently among the AFC’s elite contenders—might pursue such a move triggered:

• Explosive national debate

• Viral reaction from fans and former players

• Questions about competitive readiness after years away

• Deep divisions across political and sports communities

Some online commentary went even further, claiming the move would instantly turn Buffalo into Super Bowl favorites—a conclusion most league executives strongly dispute.

“You don’t change championship odds with a player who hasn’t taken a snap in nearly a decade,” one AFC front-office executive said.

What Is Actually Verified at This Moment

✔ The Bills worked out CB M.J. Devonshire
✔ The team continues refining secondary depth
✖ No contract with Colin Kaepernick has been filed
✖ No verified insider has confirmed negotiations
✖ No public statement has come from Kaepernick’s camp

For now, the reported signing exists strictly in the realm of unverified speculation.

If It Were to Happen, It Would Instantly Redefine the League Conversation

A Kaepernick signing—by any team—would become one of the most significant roster decisions in modern NFL history. By the Buffalo Bills, it would immediately elevate the decision into global cultural territory.

This would not simply be a football move.
It would be a moment that reshapes how the league is viewed worldwide.

That reality alone explains why a single unverified post was able to seize control of the sports news cycle within minutes.

What Comes Next

For now, all that exists is speculation—but in the NFL, speculation travels faster than most confirmed transactions.

If Buffalo makes a surprise announcement, the league’s reaction will be immediate and seismic.
If not, this episode will serve as another example of how rapidly unverified reports can dominate modern football discourse.

Either way, the Buffalo Bills now sit at the center of the NFL’s most volatile conversation.
