‘Of course, the most realistic option for the Steelers to pursue is a trade. It just so happens that the Buffalo Bills not only need a No. 1 wide receiver, but they also have the cap space to accommodate a deal for Brown. Could the Bills be a realistic landing spot for the talented wide receiver? Spotrac co-owner and editor Michael Ginnitti named the Bills as one of four potential trade partners with the Steelers.’

Bills not repeating quarterback mistakes of 2018 offseason
‘That means, provided Barkley, Anderson, and Josh Allen all go to training camp as expected, the team will head to St. John Fisher with a combined 18 years and 71 starts of experience in the NFL among their quarterbacks. That’s a far cry from the trio of Allen, Nathan Peterman, and A.J. McCarron, who had just five years and five starts among them when they opened camp six months ago.’
2018 Buffalo Bills All-22 in Review: Tight End
‘It was quite the story for Jason Croom over the past two years. Formerly an undrafted rookie that the Bills released ahead of the 2017 season, before ultimately bringing him back to the practice squad later in the year. Then, in 2018, he impressed the coaching staff straight away in the spring and summer, to the point that he moved up the depth chart enough to be a lock for the 53-man roster. Croom is a developing player that is at his best when he can chip into the passing game.’

Bills could have four new starters on offensive line in 2019
‘“Having a good O-line is a sum of the parts,” Bills General Manager Brandon Beane said. “You can have three or four really good (players), but if they’re not jelled, it doesn’t matter who you’ve got. Our line individually, there’s some guys that have played a lot of snaps and have been on some good O-lines, even here, that have rushed for a lot of yardage. But this year, we weren’t able to jell. We recognize that, and we’ll continue to work on improving that. We’re going to try to bring in competition like we’ll do across the board and we’ll try to improve that. We have to be honest.”’
Buffalo Bills should look to free agency to rebuild offensive line
‘Buffalo’s blundering blockers formed one of the worst units in the NFL, and Beane and McDermott are facing a major overhaul. Right tackle Jordan Mills, right guard John Miller, and center Ryan Groy are free agents who, in all likelihood, will not be re-signed. Backup Jeremiah Sirles is also a free agent.’

With 121 combined tackles, Edmunds now sits at second place on the list of Buffalo defenders who recorded the most tackles in their rookie season. Only Kiko Alonso recorded more tackles in his debut campaign (159 in 2013).’
Bills’ Tremaine Edmunds earns teammates’ respect: ‘He’ll be unstoppable’
‘“I think people often get caught up in your age, because I know a lot of 30-year-olds in this league that act like kids. And he’s the complete opposite of that, and all that goes back to the way his parents have raised him, his brothers, the way they compete and hold each other accountable, and he just continues to grow and embrace it, because he has a very great sense of awareness and urgency about who he is and what he wants to be in this organization.”’
