In a recent press conference, Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin addressed his future in the NFL amidst swirling rumors that he may be a potential cut candidate. The Ravens and Chiefs are reportedly interested in adding him to their roster, adding further intrigue to the situation.
Hamlin, known for his resilient spirit and determination, opened up about his mindset heading into the upcoming season. “You know my mindset and process is just to get back on the field,” Hamlin stated. “Get the ball back rolling like I had in 2022. Get back to making plays, and having fun with my teammates. You know, just enjoying the game. That’s my mindset. Once I handle that, contract talks will handle itself.”
Despite facing uncertainty about his future with the Bills, Hamlin remains optimistic about his NFL career. Reports suggest that he is fighting for a roster spot, with the team using him sparingly in recent games. While he initially expressed a desire to end his career with the Pittsburgh Steelers, he has since indicated that he would like to remain a Bill for life.
The Ravens and Chiefs are both in need of safety depth, making them potential landing spots for Hamlin. With the Ravens losing Geno Stone and the Chiefs looking to replace L’Jarius Sneed, Hamlin’s skillset and potential could prove valuable to either team.
While the safety position may not be the biggest need for the Ravens or Chiefs, adding depth to the secondary can never hurt. Derwin James and Alohi Gilman make up a strong duo, but having someone like Hamlin in the rotation could provide valuable depth and support.
The Texans, on the other hand, have not addressed their safety position significantly. With Derek Stingley leading the secondary, adding a player like Hamlin could bring a new dynamic to their defense and possibly elevate their performance on the field.
As Hamlin navigates the uncertainties of his NFL future, one thing is clear – his determination and passion for the game will drive him forward. Whether he ends up with the Ravens, Chiefs, Texans, or another team, one thing is for sure – Hamlin is focused on making an impact and leaving his mark on the league.
