Bills WR Benjamin blasts Newton, Panthers

‘”If you would’ve put me with any other quarterback, let’s be real, you know what I’m saying? Any other accurate quarterback like (Aaron) Rodgers or Eli Manning or Big Ben (Roethlisberger) — anybody! — quarterbacks with knowledge, that know how to place a ball and give you a better chance to catch the ball. It just felt like I wasn’t in that position.”‘

Sean McDermott says he has spoken with Kelvin Benjamin about Panthers comments

‘”There’s a time and a place — I’m not saying specific to what comments were made — there’s a time and place for things like that,” McDermott said. “This was not one of them. We have a lot of respect for our opponents, No. 1, and everyone in the league. I’ve spoken with Kelvin, and that’s not how I want us to handle things like that. So we’ll move forward as a team, and I’m hoping we’ve already done that.”‘

Browns trade former first-round pick Corey Coleman to the Bills

‘Coleman has struggled with both injuries and inconsistent play during his two years in the league. He has played in just 19 of a possible 36 games, missing time with several hand injuries. During his two seasons in Cleveland, he managed just 56 catches for 718 yards and five touchdowns.’

‘Coleman has two years remaining on his rookie contract. The cash and cap hits for the Bills are $1.51 million (2018) and $2.04 million (2019). Since he was a 1st round pick, the team also has a fifth year option they can exercise for 2020.’

McCarron gets first shot with first team again

Benjamin Says He Wished Carolina Never Drafted Him

‘“I mean, I felt like I would’ve been even more successful if … I don’t know, man… If I would’ve…Looking back at it, I should’ve just been drafted by somebody else. I should’ve never went to Carolina. Truly, I just think Carolina was bad for me. It was bad a bad fit from the get-go. If you would’ve put me with any other Quarterback, let’s be real, you know what I’m saying? Any other accurate quarterback like Rodgers or Eli Manning or Big Ben — anybody! – quarterbacks with knowledge, that know how to place a ball and give you a better chance to catch the ball. It just felt like I wasn’t in that position.”’

Buffalo Bills acquire WR Corey Coleman via trade

‘Now, with the addition of Coleman, the Bills have someone that provides a skill-set to their roster that is at least different than all the rest. Coleman’s top attribute is his speed and the only player that really offers the same is McCloud, though the rookie is nowhere near being ready to contribute on offense.’
