A new Super Bowl dream for the Buffalo Bills began with a smile, after the team secured an important home win in Week 1 of this new NFL season. Not stopping there, Josh Allen will now have a new teammate joining the roster—one who arrives to further strengthen an already highly competitive squad.
Cameron Johnston already knows what it feels like to lift a Vince Lombardi Trophy—an accolade he earned some time ago with the Philadelphia Eagles. The veteran punter now joins Sean McDermott’s team with one main goal: to reach the final game of the season once again.
The news was reported by NFL insider Tom Pelissero, who, through his official X account (formerly Twitter), provided more details regarding the arrival of the veteran player to Orchard Park.
“Bills Burr: Veteran punter Cameron Johnston is signing with Buffalo, per sources,” the insider reported via @TomPelissero. “Johnston, 33, has appeared in 96 NFL games with three teams. Now he takes over punting duties for the #Bills, who are waiving Brad Robbins.”

Super Bowl-winning experience
In an exciting showdown, the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the New England Patriots 41-33 in Super Bowl LII, securing their first-ever Vince Lombardi Trophy. While the “Philly Special” trick play and QB Nick Foles’ MVP performance are often remembered, the Eagles’ special teams unit, including punter Cameron Johnston, also played a crucial role in the victory, helping to pin the high-powered Patriots offense deep in their own territory.
