Bills’ Leslie Frazier to prospective NFL coaches: ‘No job is too small’
‘“When you are in that training camp, when you are around those coaches, you have to find a way to add value to that staff. Be an egoless person. I want to have that attitude that it’s not about me, it’s about us. And then making sure that my pride doesn’t get in the way. When someone gives me constructive criticism, I’m taking that. I’m not letting my dander get up or getting upset to the point where I really can’t function.”’
Bills behind only Chiefs, Ravens in AFC power rankings
‘Josh Allen is set up for success, with the Bills returning nearly every starter from a team that won 10 games and reached the playoffs. Buffalo added a No. 1 wide receiver by trading for Stefon Diggs and improved the running game by pairing Devin Singletary with third-round draft pick Zack Moss. The defense lost veteran linebacker Lorenzo Alexander, an irreplaceable locker room presence, and its top two sack leaders from a year ago in defensive linemen Jordan Phillips and Shaq Lawson. But Buffalo mitigated those losses by signing Mario Addison and Vernon Butler and drafting Iowa defensive end A.J. Epenesa in the second round. Josh Norman, another free agent acquisition, could earn the starting cornerback job opposite Tre’Davious White.’

‘Smith, who has the NFL record for regular-season career sacks at 200, has been a good sport about his answer since it aired. In fact, the episode was taped in February, but he did say a number of questions were about sex, so “I was already hot-wired to potentially give that answer.”’

Bills’ Josh Allen has stronger arm than Patrick Mahomes? Madden ratings say so
‘Allen’s deep ball accuracy is another conversation entirely. He can no doubt unleash the long ball with his big arm but the question is whether his receiver will be able to track it down.
