I try not to read into all that too much, but I’ve definitely communicated that I want to be here for an extended amount of time, so whether that’s getting the extension now or later, I definitely hope that happens.”’

‘The Bills secondary made big plays. It’s not unusual for the defense to be ahead of the offense early in training camp and they have been to this point. The defense forced several turnovers during team drills. Josh Allen had a couple of passed picked off by Jordan Poyer and Dane Jackson. Several times during practice Allen had conversations with wide outs trying to get on the same page and work through what may have been miscommunications.
