Josh Allen named cover athlete for EA Madden NFL 24

‘Allen becomes the first player in Bills history to be named the cover athlete for the EA Madden NFL franchise. He is also the first player since 2021 to grace the cover of the popular video game after the company honored the legacy of the late John Madden last year.’

Could Josh Allen suffer from the “Madden Curse?”

‘The beginning of the curse is typically attributed to former San Francisco 49ers running back Garrison Hearst. Hearst was the first-ever athlete to be featured in the game, on the cover of the international edition of Madden NFL 99.’

Bills sign CB Cameron Dantzler

‘The CB has racked up three interceptions, 17 passes defensed, six tackles for loss, 149 total tackles, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries in 35 career games.’

Bills defensive tackle Ed Oliver intends to ‘outplay’ value of new contract – ‘Just sit back and watch’

‘“I feel comfortable here, I love it here, I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else,” Oliver said Tuesday, a day after signing a four-year, $68 million contract extension ($45 million guaranteed). “I wouldn’t want any (other) fan base than ours. When you’re driving down Big Tree (Road) and people kind of know your car and you’re driving by, they go, ‘Let’s go, Ed,’ that’s nothing like I’ve ever seen before.”’

Leslie Frazier sought and obtained permission from Bills before embarking on practice tour

‘A league source told The Buffalo News on Tuesday that Frazier sought and obtained permission from the Bills before making those visits. The source noted the visits were permitted with the understanding that Frazier would not discuss scheme or personnel with the teams he spent time with. Of course, that works in both directions, as those teams would also expect Frazier not to report back to the Bills on schemes or personnel he observed.’

When Hamlin took the field in practice last week, Beane texted his parents right after to just celebrate the progress.’
