McKenzie has been with the Bills since the 2018 season. The Cincinnati Bengals drafted him in the fifth round of the 2017 NFL Draft. McKenzie recorded 1,316 yards receiving and 11 touchdowns during his time with the Bills. He had a career-high of 423 receiving yards in 2022 to go along with four touchdown receptions.

The Bills signed McKenzie to a two-year $4.4 million contract last offseason. They will incur a $300,000 dead cap hit for 2023 by releasing McKenzie, according to Spotrac. The Bills have about $9 million in cap space remaining for 2023, according to Over The Cap.
