Two Bills Drive

‘The Buffalo Bills’ new wide receiver said during a series of tweets that he misses and loves football, “but there’s so many unanswered questions with this upcoming season. I’d be lying if I said I was comfortable starting back up.”’

‘“I’ve just been trying to do the best I can to improve in every single category,” Sweeney said of his offseason. “That kind of encompasses a lot of different things. Route-running, pass-catching, run-blocking and pass protection.”’

‘How large an impact Knox and the others at his position show they can make will largely result from what they’ve been able to do in extremely limited offseason workouts.’

‘According to a press release from PSE, Jason Sinnarajah grew up as a Bills fan in Toronto and will now oversee the team’s day-to-day business operations. Sinnarajah joins the organization after serving as senior vice president of strategy and growth at Ziff Davis, where he led M&A sourcing, corporate strategy and business development. He was previously vice president of global strategy and business development at the Weather Company, and a member of the Cleveland Indians’ strategy and analytics team that worked on bringing the 2019 All-Star game to Cleveland, along with renovations to Progressive Field.’

‘”I am exceptionally disappointed with New Era,” Poloncarz said Wednesday. “And I’ll say this. After seeing everything that we dealt with with New Era whenever we had negotiations on the stadium, I don’t believe we are going to give naming rights to any Bills organization that can sell them and then have an organization treat our community as poorly as New Era did.”‘

‘“Big-body guys that can high point the ball and have good ball skills, make some contested catches,” coordinator Brian Daboll said of both Davis and sixth-round pick Isaiah Hodgins. “How they fit with us and not seeing them in the roles that we asked them to do would be unfair of me to answer, but I’m happy that we have them.”’

‘If Davis earns a spot, will the Bills opt for a speed player over Williams for the last spot? Speed candidates include Robert Foster and Isaiah McKenzie. Foster caught only two passes last season. McKenzie caught 27, and he played 64% of the snaps in the last nine regular-season games. Obviously, whoever earns the No. 4 wideout job isn’t going to play half of 64%, barring a spate of injuries.’

‘The other way Allen can get paid is to go on a deep playoff run. Miami castoff Ryan Tannehill showed how lucrative that can be last season with Tennessee. After replacing Marcus Mariota following the Titans’ Week 5 loss to the Bills, Tannehill made the Pro Bowl and helped Tennessee advance to the AFC Championship Game, which was won by Mahomes and the Chiefs.’

‘“We have a lot of confidence in T.J. It was a struggle last year from the standpoint of him getting a jersey on game day,” McDermott said earlier this offseason. “The games that he did play, he contributed at a high level. From a leadership standpoint, you look at that Tennessee game on the road, his run in there was one of the runs that got us sparked in terms of going on the drive to go win it. What I love about T.J. also is how he handled himself through the season when he wasn’t playing, the way he handled himself as a team player helping on scout team, so I thought that spoke volumes about who he is.”’

‘There aren’t any such surprises waiting this year. Singletary and Moss are the obvious top two on the depth chart. Perhaps Yeldon is pushed by Wade for the No. 3 job, but that’s really the only uncertainty at the position.’

‘The highest-graded player on the line is left tackle Dion Dawkins, who is entering the fourth and final season of his rookie contract. Dawkins finished with an overall PFF grade of 73.1 last year, which was good for 24th out of 82 qualifying tackles.’

‘“People are angry, frustrated and both the city of Buffalo and the Bills are right there with them,” she wrote. “My role as owner and president means that I must push for change at the league level while also making sure our own house is in order.”’
