Pineiro is one of three veterans invited to Bills workouts. He carries a proven regular-season resume and long-range leg ability that could stabilize a fluctuating Bills kicking unit if Bass falters.

Piñeiro brings Florida ties and Panthers experience, boasting a strong FG rate across five seasons (22-of-26 last year). His accuracy in mid-range kicks adds value in a short-term Dolphins stint, especially if the team prioritizes reliability on shorter attempts while Sanders is out.

Piñeiro, tied to Miami by origin, brings a career FG% near 88% and 11 of 14 kicks from 50+ yards, plus reliability on extra points. Panthers released him after last season, making him an affordable, experienced option who could pair with Miami's plans for Week 1. His long-range accuracy could help Miami cover Sanders' absence while they evaluate their internal options.

Eddy Piñeiro is expected to test the market as the Panthers are unlikely to retain him, indicating a potential search for a new kicker that aligns with their long-term plans.

Eddy Pineiro, once the most accurate kicker in the NFL, struggled significantly during the last season with the Carolina Panthers, raising doubts about his future with the team.
