Bills claim wide receiver who scored final points at old Highmark Stadium

Quentin Skinner’s first NFL points came against the Buffalo Bills.

His next opportunity will come with them.

The Bills claimed the wide receiver off waivers from the New York Jets on July 14, adding the former Kansas standout ahead of training camp while releasing wide receiver Deven Thompkins.

Skinner made his NFL debut in the Jets’ Week 18 regular-season finale against the Bills last season, catching one pass for 10 yards before hauling in a fourth-quarter two-point conversion from quarterback Brady Cook in a 35-8 loss.

Those turned out to be the final points ever scored in the original Highmark Stadium before the Bills move into their new home this season.

The 6-foot-3, 203-pound Skinner signed with the Jets as an undrafted free agent in 2025 after playing four seasons at Kansas. He had eight catches for 114 yards and a touchdown in the preseason for New York and spent most of the 2025 season on the practice squad.

He caught 80 passes for 1,584 yards and 11 touchdowns in 49 career games with the Jayhawks while averaging 19.8 yards per reception. His best season came in 2024, when he totaled 24 catches for 557 yards and three touchdowns while averaging a career-high 22.2 yards per catch.

Skinner joins one of the Bills’ most crowded position groups entering training camp, with Buffalo carrying 14 wide receivers on its 90-man roster.
