‘”Turned out there was actually another fracture in there that they didn’t see on the X-ray until they opened him up to get the surgery done,” Garafolo said. “So it’s about three weeks. I’d say he misses Miami and Jacksonville, but he’s back for the Jets, but that timeline is fluid. But again, not expected to be a long-term thing.”‘

‘“It starts at the quarterback position,” Sanders said of the Bills’ offense. “We’ve got a talented quarterback. We’ve got a guy who’s smart, a guy with a big arm, a guy who can extend plays, a guy that obviously, if you’re a defensive coordinator, you’ve got to scheme it up. I think we’ve got a great offensive coordinator. He knows how to dial it up. Him and Josh have great chemistry.”’

‘General Manager Brandon Beane has not been shy about making trades if he feels it will improve his roster. With that in mind, it’s certainly possible Beane could be active at the trade deadline, which this year comes Nov. 2. Of course, any move has to fit under the salary cap, which could be an issue. As of Saturday morning, the Bills had just a little more than $4 million in cap space, according to records kept by the NFL Players’ Association. The Bills could free up space by sending a player out in a trade, but given that this team has eyes on making a Super Bowl run, it doesn’t seem likely Beane would be interested in subtracting from the roster. With just one game to play before the deadline because of the bye in Week 7, the Bills have no obvious holes on the roster that need to be filled. Depth at outside cornerback continues to look less than ideal to me, but it’s not a drastic need. If I had to bet one way or the other, I’d wager the Bills stand pat, which is true for most of the league at the deadline, anyway.’

‘“So many times we’re so quick to decide on something in Buffalo because we’re afraid of what we’ll lose,” Miller said. “If we’re going to spend $1 billion or more on a stadium, then I think we need to really think hard about how it can help the community long-term, how it affects our neighbors, how it might be done in a way that breaks down so many of the boundaries in this community.”’

‘Brown clearly identified himself and the reason for his request when he filled out online forms asking the organizations to contribute auction prizes for a pair of campaign fundraisers, according to interviews and election records.’
