Bills’ Williams replacing Jones was no surprise

‘The deal was a somewhat embarrassing concession by coach Sean McDermott that he had erred in trading up seven spots to take Jones – the Rams got a third-round pick while Buffalo received a fifth-rounder and got to move up – who had set the NCAA FBS record of 399 career receptions at East Carolina.’

Bills add Senorise Perry to 53-man squad

‘Perry figures to play a role on special teams. He led Miami in special teams tackles last season with nine and played 301 special-teams snaps, which ranked 60th in the NFL, according to Pro Football Focus. The 6-foot, 210-pound Perry entered the NFL out of Louisville in 2014.’

Bills sign defensive end Wyatt Ray, grandson of Nat King Cole

‘The 6-foot-3 Ray was a teammate at Boston College of Tommy Sweeney and Matt Milano and went undrafted last spring. He signed with the Cleveland Browns as an undrafted free agent but was cut when rosters were trimmed to the limit before the season began.’

Zay Jones gives thankful goodbye to Buffalo and Bills

‘Thank you Terry & Kim Pegula you are both first class people. Thank you Coach McDermott for the opportunity to pursue my dream at the highest level. Thank you to my teammates within that lockeroom that I got to create incredible memories with & have lifetime bonds.’

‘Music City Invasion’ was a titanic victory for Bills and their fans

‘Improbable hero Duke Williams came out of obscurity and off the practice squad to the delight of his legion of sycophants, immediately caught a one-yard pass and then dragged his Titan defender five more before being wrestled down. It was tough, if not impossible, to keep the determined young man down all day as he later snatched a short, sharp laser from Josh Allen in the end zone for the game-winning touchdown.’

7 things to know about the Buffalo Bills offense as the team hits its bye week

‘Five games into the season, four of which have been victories, it’s clear this is a more talented offensive team than the woeful bunch that we saw last season. But when you still rank 18th in points per game, you’ve turned the ball over 11 times, and are converting only 33.9 percent of the time on third down, there are still improvements to be made.’

Zay Jones’ father believes son has ‘real QB’ now following trade from Buffalo Bills

‘Robert Jones, a former three-time Super Bowl champion linebacker, was active on Twitter after it was announced that his son would be joining the Raiders. Jones’ first post was innocent enough. He simply said he wanted to get some Raiders gear. After going back and forth with a few Bills fans following the tweet, Jones retweeted a message from a Raiders fan that seemed to be bashing current Bills quarterback Josh Allen.’

Bills Sign Perry, Announce Trade Of Zay Jones To Raiders

‘Jones was the odd-man out after Buffalo promoted rookie Duke Williams off its practice squad on Saturday. Jones played only one snap in a 14-7 win at Tennessee on Sunday, while Williams took over his role as the No. 3 receiver and scored the decisive touchdown in the fourth quarter.’

Bills trade Zay Jones to the Raiders

‘This past week against the Tennessee Titans, Jones was only given one offensive snap in the game after wide receiver Duke Williams was promoted to the active roster from the practice squad. Williams went on to reel in four catches for 29 yards, and also caught the game-winning touchdown to put the Bills ahead 14-7 in the fourth quarter.’

Bills living the best-case scenario

‘The Bills have jumped to 4-1 despite committing certain football crimes that can undermine a team as limited offensively as this one, but that hasn’t happened.’

Let’s have a discussion

‘Through five weeks, the Bills rank 32nd in special teams DVOA (Football Outsiders’ efficiency rating). The offense is ranked 28th; just slightly ahead of the Miami Dolphins, Cincinnati Bengals, and the New York Jets. Yikes.’

Bills sign RB Senorise Perry to the 53-man roster

‘Perry was with the Bills during Training Camp and the preseason where he scored one rushing touchdown in the team’s game against Indianapolis. He wound up suffering a quad injury and was placed on injured reserve before being given an injury settlement.’

Bills sign running back Senorise Perry; Zay Jones traded to Oakland

‘Perry, 28, was initially signed this past offseason in free agency, due in part to his special teams prowess as he led his last two clubs in special teams tackles in 2017 and 2018. But the running back suffered a quad injury in the preseason finale and placed on injured reserve, before eventually being released in an injury settlement.’

Bills veterans feel something special brewing with team’s 4-1 start

‘“It’s just this group of men,” said Smith. “I’ve played football for a lot of years. The most important thing to me is my beautiful wife and my four kids. But if I’m going to keep coming to work and working my a– off and playing this game that I love I’m glad it’s around good men.”’

‘“It’s a team effort. We fight for each other,” said Micah Hyde. “We don’t care who gets the sacks, or tackles, or whatever. As long as they get the quarterback down, as long as we win, that’s all that matters. That’s the best thing about this team.”’

‘“Their willingness to think outside the box and look for some new areas to improve is what stands out to me,” said Bills Chief Administrative Officer, Dave Wheat. “Being willing to leave no stone unturned, so when they’re making decisions we have all the right people in the building thinking holistically about what’s best. They were the ones who brought in Joe (Collins) and Jo (Clubb), the sports scientists.’
