Former Pro Bowl Corner Xavier Rhodes is reuniting with an old coach to help an injury-riddled Buffalo Bills secondary.
Xavier Rhodes is joining the club, Mike Garafolo reported late Tuesday.
The #Bills are signing veteran CB Xavier Rhodes, sources say. Former All Pro heads to Buffalo to help with a battered secondary and reunite with Leslie Frazier, his head coach for a minute with the #Vikings in 2013.— Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo) September 28, 2022

Rhodes said the same, but in fewer words “#BillsMafia”.

Rhodes was a standout on the Minnesota Vikings but was cut following the 2019 season.
He had 3 interceptions in two seasons with the Colts but didn’t return and didn’t find a home through the offseason.
Now 32 years old, he has battled calf injuries in recent years but the Bills likely won’t be looking for a full-season fill-in.
Tre White is eligible to return in October, although little is known about his status.
Rhodes played with Bills coordinator Leslie Frazier in 2013 when both were with the Vikings.
