Defense analysis: Playing with the lead a ton didn’t boost Bills’ sack total

‘“That’s a critical area for our football team to improve,” coach Sean McDermott said in his season-ending news conference. “We have to be able to affect the quarterback with a four-man rush. I thought at times we did that and other times we could have been better just like our entire defense or entire football team, so there’s still meat on the bone there.”’

Bills re-sign offensive lineman Jordan Devey to one-year contract

‘Devey, 33, is entering his eighth NFL season. He has appeared in 44 career games, making 21 starts, during his time with the Bills, Raiders, Chiefs, 49ers and Patriots. The Bills have some uncertainty up front, with both right tackle Daryl Williams and right guard Jon Feliciano scheduled to become unrestricted free agents next month. Additionally, left guard Ike Boettger is scheduled to become a restricted free agent.’

Demos: Plenty of talent at the Senior Bowl

‘While Felton played running back in college, he easily transitioned to WR last week, cooking plenty of DBs in the slot. I know wide receiver may not be the Bills’ top priority, but Felton is the type of weapon every modern NFL offense needs.’

Wyoming changed Bills QB Allen — Part 2

‘A potential student who otherwise wouldn’t have given the time of day or consideration to UW can’t help but imagine the possibilities of what their own stories of perseverance could be if they moved to the plains. Allen highlights the best of what Wyoming hopes to represent: hard work, grittiness and a down-to-earth lifestyle that, quite frankly, isn’t found everywhere.’

Bills re-sign OL Jordan Devey to one-year deal

‘The Bills brought in Devey after he was cut by the Las Vegas Raiders on September 1st. He spent most of the season on the Bills practice squad but did see action in the team’s week 7 game against the New York Jets, playing two snaps. Devey shared his enthusiasm about staying another year in Buffalo on his Instagram.’

Can the Buffalo Bills afford to keep LB Matt Milano?

‘There’s no denying Milano deserves a huge raise. Since joining the team as a fifth round pick in 2017, Milano has played a valuable role on the defense. During his rookie season, Milano played in all 16 regular season games and emerged as a starter towards the end of the season. Since his rookie year, when healthy, he’s been the man lining up beside fellow linebacker and two-time Pro Bowler Tremaine Edmunds.’

Bills DE A.J. Epenesa finishes rookie season with strong second half

‘Epenesa added some much needed youth to the Bills defensive end room but like most rookies, his first season didn’t come without some “bumps” in the road. I put bumps in quotes because he did too much of what the Bills asked of him to get ready for the season and that hurt him to start.’

How the Bills can find cap space for 2021

‘I might be the president of the Quinton Jefferson Fan Club. He’s versatile. He’s productive for a reserve player (three sacks and a fumble recovery each of the last three seasons). He’s a good guy and fits into any locker room. He’s also carrying an eight million dollar cap hit that the Bills can wipe away without even a penny of dead money. With Star Lotulelei returning, it’s hard not to see Beane hitting the escape clause on Jefferson’s contract.’
