I know that sounds dumb, but I know how dominant Kansas City is, and I love Kansas City, but I also love Buffalo.”‘

‘The Bills will need to address guard with both Jon Feliciano and Brian Winters headed to free agency and Cody Ford coming off an injury-shortened season.

He has not been a difference-maker in any way, and while his pass rush improved this season, his play against the run is still sub-standard.’
