The news comes after a 2024 season cut short by an injury.\n\nHamlin, 28, participated in only five games last year due to a pectoral injury sustained during training that required surgery and sidelined him for the rest of the season in October. His return strengthens the Bills&#8217; safety position, which has been reinforced with the additions of C.J. Gardner-Johnson and Geno Stone during free agency.\n\nSelected in the sixth round of the 2021 draft, Hamlin began his career with the Bills as a backup and special teams player. In 2022, he had the opportunity to start due to injuries, including the &#8220;Monday Night Football&#8221; game on January 2, 2023, against the Cincinnati Bengals, where he suffered cardiac arrest and had to be resuscitated on the field.\n\nAfter recovering, Hamlin received medical clearance to return to football and chose to continue his career, serving as a substitute in 2023. In 2024, Hamlin earned the starting safety position, participating in 14 games and recording the first two interceptions of his career.\n\nHamlin&#8217;s impact transcends the sporting arena. His foundation, Chasing M&#8217;s, received millions of dollars after his cardiac arrest. Since then, Chasing M&#8217;s, Hamlin, the Bills, the NFL, and many other organizations have collaborated to promote awareness of heart health, by disseminating knowledge and the use of CPR and AEDs, including through new legislation and CPR tours.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Damar Hamlin Re-signs with the Bills for One Year The Buffalo Bills have secured the continuity of safety Damar Hamlin with a one-year contract, the team announced on Friday.
