‘“There was a little bit, because you never know,” Sweeney said Wednesday in an interview with The Buffalo News when asked if he feared his career might be over. “I mean, with this, you still don’t know. It’s a completely new thing. There was a level of it, but the cardiologists here we talked to were great and just real positive about it.

Inconsistency has plagued Dawson Knox, so Bills TE has spent offseason fine-tuning skills
‘“How I look at that stuff is whoever they bring in, that’s just great competition for the room,” Knox said. “I love that Jacob’s (Hollister) here now, he’s a great dude.

‘The kindest approach is to declare that this phenomenon is more about coaches who can’t shut up than it is about a quarterback who can’t quarterback. In other words, there was nothing stopping Nagy from staying mute about Trubisky’s “excellent” practices the past four seasons, and there won’t be anything stopping Bills coach Sean McDermott from stuffing a sock in his mouth when the urge to praise Trubisky hits him. But a modern-day coach can’t help himself. He’s an oscillating fan spreading sweet nothings.’

Bills are preparing for the challenges of 2021 by doing this | OTAs Week 3
