‘Samuel, 27, adds some world-class speed to the Bills’ offense. He ran a 4.31-second 40-yard dash at the 2017 NFL Scouting Combine.’

Bills lose Tyrel Dodson to Seahawks, Trent Sherfield to Vikings, Poona Ford to Chargers
‘Dodson, 25, started 10 games last season for the Bills after Matt Milano went down with an injury and had a nice season, finishing with 74 tackles, including eight for loss. With Milano expected to be healthy for 2024 and linebacker Terrel Bernard coming off a breakout season, there is not expected to be a starting job available in Buffalo. Additionally, the Bills signed linebacker Nicholas Morrow in free agency from the Philadelphia Eagles, and he figures to fill a depth role behind Milano and Bernard.’
Reports: Defensive tackle Tim Settle heads to Houston Texans
‘Settle never was able to make much of an impact as a backup for the Bills. He managed just one sack apiece in each of his two seasons with the Bills. He had posted five sacks for Washington in 2020. Settle played 32 games for Buffalo the last two seasons, but with just four starts over that time, playing 38% of defensive snaps in 2022 and 35% in 2023.’
WR guru gushes over Buffalo Bills signing Curtis Samuel: ‘What an upgrade over Gabe Davis!’
‘When asked for his immediate reaction, Harmon gushed, “Oh my God. I mean, I’m alive. I’m alive, bro. I’m alive. This is awesome. I’m completely thrilled. Oh my God. LFG baby. This is awesome. What an upgrade over Gabe Davis! You get Curtis Samuel out there? That is really interesting to me.”’
Curtis Samuel fills a need at receiver, how he fits into the Bills offense is the biggest question
‘Samuel is predominantly a slot receiver, but he also has the tools to be the jig-saw player the Bills thought Harty could be after signing him to a two-year, $9 million deal last season. A high school running back, Samuel can play in the slot, wide and in the backfield, something he did often at Ohio State and more frequently over the last four years of his pro career.’
Bills’ Stefon Diggs gives another indication he wants out of Buffalo with cryptic post
‘To make things even more interesting, Diggs changed his Twitter bio to a picture of him waving goodbye — which could indicate his last time playing for the Bills. Diggs sent out a post with a heart emoji earlier Friday, which may be another indication he’s done in Buffalo.’
Dolphins, Bills had the same cap problem but totally different solutions
‘Beane and coach Sean McDermott were notorious for avoiding playing their rookies sooner than they needed. But as Allen’s contract grows more substantial in the scope of their salary cap, Buffalo has needed to lean on younger players. That’s just the natural order of salary cap gymnastics when a QB moves off his rookie deal. Last year, the Bills started guard O’Cyrus Torrence and made major use of tight end Dalton Kincaid. Buffalo might be looking at a similar situation in 2024 when, if they draft properly, they’ll have two or three rookies contributing substantially to their roster.’
New Buffalo Bills wide receiver Curtis Samuel finding an early sense of familiarty in Western New York
‘”I was super excited when the opportunity came. Having some experience with Joe Brady in Carolina definitely influenced me a lot,” says Samuel. “Also from the outside looking in they’re a great team and you can tell by how far they go every year.”‘
Bills sign WR Curtis Samuel to three-year deal
‘Samuel most recently played for Washington from 2021-2023. The WR started in 26 games and played in 38 and racked up 132 receptions for 1,296 receiving yards, eight receiving touchdowns, 49 carries for 237 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns with the Commanders.’
WR Curtis Samuel believes he can bring ‘dynamic’ traits to Bills offense
‘”Definitely excited to be here. When I get the ball in my hands, I feel like I’m dynamic. That’s what I’m here to bring, just some explosive plays and be a team player,” Samuel said from One Bills Drive.’
