‘Watch five minutes of Rosen highlights, and it’s obvious he has a beautiful throwing motion and great fundamentals. The ball snaps out of his hands in a perfect spiral, and he’s in balance pass after pass.’

NFL Draft Preview: Top 10 interior OL and where the Bills stand
‘Guard went from a likely consideration to a priority position with this week’s announcement by Richie Incognito that he plans to retire. Coupled with the Eric Wood injury, the Bills all of a sudden have suffered the unplanned loss of their two most veteran, highest-rated offensive linemen.’
A Bills priority: Getting more elusiveness behind LeSean McCoy
‘The Bills ranked 28th in the NFL last season in missed tackles forced by skill-position players, according to a study by Pro Football Focus.’
Jay Skurski’s Bills Mailbag: Does LeSean McCoy need a running mate?
‘I see quarterback, middle linebacker, cornerback and wide receiver easily being bigger needs than running back. If I was running the Bills’ draft, those are the four positions I would target in the first two rounds. The earliest I would take a running back would be Round 3, with the 96th overall pick. Getting a prospect who can take some of the load off McCoy, who will be 30 during the 2018 season, is a good idea. In a perfect world, that rookie would eventually become McCoy’s replacement.’
Jim Kelly to be released ‘shortly’ from New York hospital
‘”His recovery will take time and patience,” Jill Kelly said. “We all look forward to being out of the hospital soon. Please keep us in your prayers and thank you for such incredible support.”’
Jim Kelly’s complicated surgery aired in greater detail
‘They took bone from Kelly’s fibula – the smaller of the two bones in the lower leg. The other bone, the tibia, is the weight-bearing bone. They also took an artery and vein, as well as skin from the calf.’
Bills draft preview: Mayfield’s character may worry some teams, but he leads wins
‘Whether he’s the best quarterback in this draft remains to be seen, but he’s certainly the cockiest, and to be clear, that’s not such a bad thing.’
Mock draft analysis: Here’s who the experts say the Bills will take
‘Me? I mean no disrespect to all the mock drafters out there, including colleagues and friends in the industry, who help fuel the raging fire, but I find mock drafts a colossal waste of time and energy.’
Richie Incognito claims he’ll be at Buffalo Bills’ offseason program on Monday
‘Perhaps his “made ya look” hashtag meant that he was joking about being in Buffalo on Monday. It could also mean that his short-lived retirement may be over whether it’s returning to the field or in some other capacity.’
LeSean McCoy pleads for Buffalo Bills to get former Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant
‘”Not to brag, but I was the first guy he talked to when the news broke,” McCoy said at his charity softball game in Rochester Sunday. “I kind of understand because I’ve been through it. Maybe not to the extreme of being released, but being traded. That’s basically telling you, ‘You’re not good enough for us.’ I understand that. He was hurt, but I played with him and I know the guys in the locker room and I know he can help us out tremendously. I’ve been doing my recruiting already. Don’t be surprised if it happens.”‘
Buffalo Bills named a best fit for former Cowboys WR Dez Bryant
‘Interest in Bryant can’t be ruled out — because the Bills have a need at wide receiver. They have invested resources in Zay Jones (drafted in the second round last year) and Kelvin Benjamin (acquired in a trade for third- and seventh-round picks last season), but the results left something to be desired. The Bills lost Deonte Thompson and Jordan Matthews in free agency, so they could use some veteran help.’
Josh Norris Mock Draft 4.0: Buffalo Bills trade up to select UCLA QB Josh Rosen
‘If we look at the passers the Bills recently moved on from (Tyrod Taylor) and acquired (Nathan Peterman and A.J. McCarron), it appears the Bills want a prototypical pocket passer. Rosen is easily the best quarterback that fits that label. Josh Allen might as well. The Bills seemed to be interested in last year’s quarterback class (maybe Mitchell Trubisky specifically) and likely plan to not be near the top of the draft for years. Shoot your quarterback shot now.’
Tyler Boyd’s touchdown catch a gift that keeps giving for WPYAA
‘Not only did Bills fans donate more than $100,000 to Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton’s foundation, but they gave $65,000 to Boyd’s charity of choice, the Western PA Youth Athletic Association, through the YouCaring.com website.’
Jim Kelly progressing ‘remarkably well’ after cancer surgery
‘Though Kelly is still unable to chew, he is now being fed orally in what Urken called: “a huge milestone and a segue for him to be able to leave the hospital.” Urken did not provide an exact timetable of when the former Bills star might be discharged and return to his home in suburban Buffalo.’
Doctor: Jim Kelly’s cancer recovery has been remarkable
‘Doctor Urken expects Kelly to recover and be able to resume his normal diet once he is out of the hospital.’
