Two Bills Drive

‘“If there is one tight end who gets a big contract that turns heads it’s likely to be Jesse James of the Pittsburgh Steelers,” said Pauline. “I’m told the team would like to re-sign James, but he presently sits behind Vance McDonald on the Steelers depth chart and staying with Pittsburgh is not a career move that James would want. Presently, I’m told that the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Buffalo Bills are two teams very interested in James once he hits the open market.”’

‘The NFL is willing to give players opportunities to continue their respective careers. Teams can have 90-players on their respective offseason rosters and it’s possible that a NFL team calls Williams based solely on his production during his rookie season with the Bills.’

‘”When head coach Sean McDermott and general manager Brandon Beane were hired, the vision for the Bills’ future called for a roster build. A surprise run to the playoffs in 2017 was exhilarating, but also ahead of schedule. The Bills now enter an offseason in the healthiest place during the McDermott/Beane tenure: equipped with cap space (estimated around $82 million), a young quarterback and a rock-solid defense. Miller is a fine player; he showed strides in 2018 and can be a starter. Ideally, however, he’d be a depth-level player along your line who can start in a pinch.”‘

‘Bet DSI released their latest odds on where Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown will be playing in 2019 and the Buffalo Bills had the third best betting odds.’

‘”If a player hits that negotiating period March 12th or 11th or somewhere in that range, to me it means that they’re not coming back to their team,” he said. “They waited to hit the market and you mentioned the bad center market, there’s nobody out there. So if Matt decides he wants to go to the highest bidder than it probably won’t be Denver.”‘

‘Although Wilkins addresses a need for Buffalo, Casserly’s mock draft had many other intriguing options on the board for Buffalo in Round 1 including offensive tackles Jonah Williams, Jawaan Taylor and Greg Little. Ed Oliver, a player projected to the Bills in some other early mock drafts, did not get selected in the first round of Casserly’s mock draft.’

‘Jalin Marshall was a prospect that left college too early and it led to him going undrafted in the 2016 NFL Draft. He’d latch on with the New York Jets and catch 14 passes for 162 yards and two touchdowns. Marshall would be suspended for the first four games of the 2017 season and was eventually waived by the Jets. Although he’d land a spot on the Jets’ practice squad that season, he never saw playing time in 2017.’

‘Months removed from the game, Allen found himself signing autographs at Batavia Downs over the weekend when the Seilheimer family asked him to sign an autographed photo from the win over the Jaguars. In addition to signing his name and throwing down the Bills Mafia hashtag, Allen wrote, “Hey Ramsey… Am I still trash?” at the request of the Seilheimers.’

‘“Quarterback Josh Allen had an up-and-down rookie season in Buffalo, but he needs better pass-catching options in Year 2. That’s how we can fully evaluate his development. You might remember Metcalf from this viral photo from last week — he’s a 6-foot-4, 230-pound physical specimen who is going to test well at the combine. There is some projection here, as Metcalf missed most of the 2018 season with a scary neck injury and only caught 67 passes in his college career. But he is a big-play threat — check out this catch — who is the best “big” receiver in this class.”’

‘White referred to himself as the best hockey player in Louisiana while promoting the event. He went on to claim that his jersey would also be retired by the team on Saturday night. The event is part of Mardi Gras weekend according to the Mudbugs’ official Instagram account. White will serve as the grand marshal for the event.’
