Thomas Vaesen was added to the practice squad.

Chase Fraser had knee surgery during the summer of 2022. He’s on the PUP list. Unfortunately, Chase isn’t expected to be back in the first half of the season.

That means fans will be relieved that the club held onto Dhane Smith. The club tweeted that they made him a Franchise Tag player in July 2022..

We look at the earnings of Dhane and other players in our review of salaries at the Buffalo Bandits.

Dalton Sulver signed a three-year deal with the Bandits.

Tehoka Nanticoke was a draft pick in 2021. It’s great to see the progress of this young player.
