‘One reason why the Bills didn’t hesitate to trade for Diggs? The wide receiver is under contract through 2023. As it stands, Diggs has cap hits of $11.5 million in 2020 and $12 million cap hits from 2021-2023.’

‘Bills left tackle Dion Dawkins tagged the wide receiver to express his excitement about the move.’

‘Buffalo parted ways with multiple draft picks to land Diggs, but adding a No. 1 wide receiver is exactly what the Bills needed to do this offseason for Josh Allen. Making the trade even better is Diggs’ contract. The wide receiver is currently under contract through 2023 with cap hits of $11.5 million in 2020 and $12 million cap hits from 2021-2023.’

‘Once the trade is made official, the Bills will have a top-three that features Diggs, John Brown and Cole Beasley. In theory, that group of wide receivers should help Allen take the next step in his development.’

‘Klein will be the odds on favorite to earn that job in training camp and preseason. He played in and started all 15 regular season games for the Saints in 2019 and the playoff loss to the Minnesota Vikings.’

‘In his three seasons with the Saints, Klein played 318 special teams snaps with 140 coming in 2018. He played more special teams during his time with the Panthers (1,043 in four seasons). Klein will likely contribute on specials teams with Buffalo.’

‘Lawson went on to explain that the decision to leave was based on what’s best for him in and his family. The contract he signed with Miami could be worth up to $36 million with incentives. That’s the kind of money (potentially up to $12 million per season) that Buffalo just couldn’t afford.’

‘The hard truth is that after compiling 9.5 sacks in Buffalo on a one-year prove it deal last season, Phillips likely priced himself out of Buffalo’s plans.’

‘Harris is one of the top cornerbacks available in this year’s free agent class and arguably the top slot cornerback. He is expected to get a deal averaging about $11 million, per Spotrac.com.’
