Top 3 things to know about Day 1 of Bills camp

‘“I try not to think about the whole rotation and getting into that because you start overthinking it,” Peterman said. “That’s not the game we’re playing. We’re playing against the defense. We’re trying to drive the team down and score. It doesn’t matter when you’re lining up. It’s about getting the ball in the end zone.”’

LeSean McCoy focused on teammates and football at the start of training camp

‘“It’s an open investigation, so I’ll leave it at that,” said McCoy. “Right now, my main focus is here with my teammates. With my team we’re trying to build together in camp to try to reach our goals together and that’s a championship. I’ll let that take care of itself. Right now, I’m just focused on my teammates.”’

Bills add DT Hughes

‘The most productive seasons for Hughes (6-2, 320) came in his first two NFL season with Cleveland when he had back-to-back 34-tackle seasons.’

Camp Countdown: No. 1 – Who will be the starting QB?

‘“As I’ve said before, Nate and A.J. are working with the ones and twos, and Josh is working with the threes,” said McDermott. “Josh did work some with the ones throughout minicamp. We will continue to do that periodically through training camp, and we’re just going to stick with the plan and adjust it when and where need be. I’ve been pleased with the work they’ve put in to this point.”’

Bills open training camp with plenty of position battles looming

‘Both realize it’s entirely possible the team will take a step back in 2018 before showing the kind of progress that will last. As McDermott mentioned at last February’s NFL Scouting Combine at Indianapolis, “We’re not maybe as far along as some people think we are. We’ve got a lot of work to do.” He offered a similar message when asked about managing expectations at last March’s NFL meetings in Orlando, Fla.’

‘No details of the agreement were revealed by the club, although it is likely worth a little more than the four-year, $20-million deal the Los Angeles Chargers gave last year’s seventh overall pick, wide receiver Mike Williams.’

‘At the end of the Bills’ mandatory minicamp last month, coach Sean McDermott, responding to a question about Jones’ recovery from knee surgery, said, “He’s going through that rehab process and attacking it aggressively.” Asked if he expected Jones to be ready for the start of camp, the coach said, “Yes, I have no reason not to believe that at this time.” But McDermott also said he could not offer any guarantees.’

AJ McCarron says he’s just a ‘normal,’ hard-working guy

‘“We’re just normal Southern people,” he said. “Everybody knows us at Cracker Barrel. Everybody knows us at Dreamland (his favorite barbecue restaurant). We try to treat everybody the way we would want to be treated and don’t do anything that’s different than anybody else at all.”’

How Zay Jones made 12-year-old Bills fan’s day after his mother died

‘”I figured it had something to do with Syracuse Lacrosse. I never thought it would be anything from Zay,” Hannah said in a Twitter direct message. “When he opened it, a huge smile came on his face, I wish I would have gotten it on tape, As soon as I realized what it was, I started to cry. It’s just what he needed. … Dylan is such a humble and grateful kid; he totally deserves this.’

Josh Allen signs rookie contract with Buffalo Bills, will be at camp
