Bills’ charitable donations to benefit six local youth programs
‘“I think what we’re doing on a larger scale with social justice, getting into all the different schools and different social justice categories that we’re able to reach, it’s huge for our organization and it’s huge for the city of Buffalo,” said Phillips, who has taken a leadership role in the team’s community efforts.’
Report: Former Bills guard Richie Incognito has tryout with Raiders

Voice of the Fan: Hard not to appreciate Bills GM Brandon Beane’s plan
‘Like most Bills fans, I am quite pleased with our haul. Beane has a plan that includes the short, mid, and long term, and he filled many sinkholes in FA and the draft.’
Ed Oliver will make instant-impact with Buffalo Bills, says Mel Kiper Jr.
‘My pal Louis Riddick said on TV several times over the past few months that Oliver was used incorrectly in college. Why is an athlete like Oliver — he has one of the fastest first steps off the ball of any defensive tackle I’ve ever scouted — playing nose tackle? Buffalo will play him as a 3-technique tackle in its 4-3 defense, in place of the retired Kyle Williams, and he’s going to be a disruptive presence. No, he’s not Aaron Donald like some were calling him last summer — he is still developing consistent pass-rush moves — but Oliver will destroy double-teams and cause wreckage in the backfield.’
Former Bills G Richie Incognito may be making NFL comeback (report)
‘“Incognito didn’t play last season after he retired, un-retired and then was cut by the Bills,” Garafolo tweeted. “But word is he’s in shape and feeling well in all aspects. Wants to play again.”’
Bills rookie minicamp is right around the corner
‘Come Friday, Buffalo’s three-day rookie minicamp kicks off and will continue on through Sunday, May 12th. The 2019 Draft class, headlined by first-round draft pick Ed Oliver, second-round selection Cody Ford, as well as third-rounders Devin Singletary and Dawson Knox will be taking the field for the first time as members of the Bills. Buffalo’s undrafted free agent pick-ups and tryout players will also practice alongside the draftees come the end of the week. Those tryout players will have a chance to earn a contract and even a training camp invite to continue with the team deeper into the offseason program.’
How heartbreak motivated Devin Singletary to become an electrifying running back
‘“I’m going to be all ears, just soaking up the game that they give me,” Singletary told Buffalobills.com. “I’m ready to learn from them because they know the game very well. So I’m ready to put in some work with those guys. I’m pretty sure they’ll love to work out with me as well and teach me some things.”’

Matt Urban Services of Western New York, Boys and Girls Clubs of Buffalo, Buffalo-Area Engineering Awareness for Minorites (BEAM) and Gloria J. Parks Community Center.’
Bills Today: CBS Sports predicts Bills will land this free agent
‘The Bills aren’t exactly desperate for a pass rusher, but there’s a reason they’ve been sniffing around Ezekiel Ansah for almost two months. No. 1, adding a former All-Pro to a line that now includes first-rounder Ed Oliver could really ramp up their trench game. No. 2, they’re flush with the cap space to make it happen. Ansah may want a one-year deal to get back on the market for one last shot at a big contract, but regardless, he seems like a guy who’d fit in Buffalo. It’s not like he’d be playing with slouches, either.’
