Quintin Morris Finds a New Home
BUFFALO, NY — In the ever-evolving world of the NFL, every offseason brings about change — and for tight end Quintin Morris, that change now includes a fresh start with a new franchise. After spending four seasons with the Buffalo Bills, Morris has officially signed a one-year contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars, the team confirmed on May 14, 2025.
The 6-foot-2, 252-pound tight end entered the league as an undrafted free agent in 2021 out of Bowling Green. While he initially flew under the radar, Morris carved out a steady role with the Bills as a reliable backup and special teams contributor. His work ethic and athleticism made him a favorite among coaches and teammates in Buffalo.
Morris’ departure is part of a larger roster reshuffle in Buffalo, as the Bills navigate a tight salary cap and aim to restructure their offense for the upcoming season. With the emergence of younger tight ends and a shift in offensive strategy, the writing was on the wall for Morris’ eventual exit. Still, his move to Jacksonville presents a new opportunity — both for him and the Jaguars.
What Morris Brings to the Jaguars
In Jacksonville, Morris enters a tight end room that features rising star Evan Engram, but also one that lacks depth beyond the top spot. With the Jaguars seeking to build more versatility into their offense under head coach Doug Pederson, Morris could prove to be a sneaky valuable pickup.
Known for his soft hands and ability to block in space, Morris brings a skill set that complements Engram’s speed and route-running. While he only recorded 21 receptions for 248 yards and 2 touchdowns in his time with Buffalo, those numbers don’t fully reflect his contributions on special teams and in situational packages.
Jaguars GM Trent Baalke praised Morris’ maturity and locker room presence during his introductory press conference, saying, “Quintin is a guy we’ve had our eye on. He’s a grinder, a pro’s pro. He understands his role and embraces it. That’s the kind of player who makes a difference when the lights are brightest.”
For Morris, the signing represents more than just a new contract — it’s a new chapter. At 26 years old, he still has plenty of football ahead of him, and Jacksonville may offer the best chance yet for him to make an impact in a more featured role.
Reaction from Buffalo and What’s Next
Back in Buffalo, Morris leaves behind a fan base and organization that appreciated his journey from undrafted longshot to trusted role player. Bills quarterback Josh Allen expressed admiration for Morris after the news broke, telling local media, “Q was one of those guys who showed up every day ready to work. He earned everything he got. We’re gonna miss him.”
The Bills are expected to rely more heavily on second-year tight end Dalton Kincaid going forward, while veteran Dawson Knox remains an integral part of their offensive scheme. Though Morris didn’t make headlines weekly, his departure does thin out a position group that was once among the deepest on Buffalo’s roster.
For Jaguars fans, the addition of Morris may not make waves like a marquee signing — but it’s these kinds of moves that often pay dividends when injuries hit or games come down to grit and execution.
As OTAs get underway and training camp looms, all eyes will be on Morris to see if he can capitalize on this fresh opportunity. With the right scheme and the right role, he could become more than just a backup — he could be a difference-maker.
