Bills need wide receiver in NFL draft: Who should they target?
‘Odunze is ranked No. 5 on ESPN’s Mel Kiper’s 2024 big board, accumulating several top-30 visits with teams slated to draft in the top 10. The Washington WR totaled 167 receptions, 2,785 yards and 20 touchdowns during his junior and senior seasons with the Huskies. Odunze is your typical boundary (X) receiver — standing at 6 feet 3 inches — that Buffalo is looking for and would plug right in as a No. 1 option for the Bills franchise gunslinger. He ran a 4.45 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine, adding a 39-inch vertical jump. Odunze will be a separator in the NFL that adds ball skills and elite body control. His route-running ability is polished and nuanced. One weakness in Odunze’s game is his ability to separate at the third level using his long speed.’
Assessing the Bills imaginary Super Bowl window a fruitless discussion in topsy-turvy NFL
‘Perhaps the Bills take a step back this season and reach the playoffs as a wild-card, but once a team gets into the tournament, anything can happen. The Giants in 2007 and 2011, the 2012 Ravens, the 2020 Buccaneers and 2021 Rams are all examples of teams that weren’t expected to do much damage but got hot in the playoffs and won the Super Bowl.’
Josh Allen snapped at Stefon Diggs after season-opening loss to Jets: ‘It’s one f–king game’
‘On this week’s installment of the “Tim Graham and Friends” podcast, The Athletic’s Tim Graham chronicled the fallout of the Bills’ overtime loss to the Jets in Week 1 of the 2023 season, revealing how Diggs and Josh Allen’s postgame exchange resulted in the quarterback snapping on the star wideout.’
Josh Allen reportedly barked at Stefon Diggs after Week 1 loss: ‘It’s one f—ing game’
‘That argument was furthered by The Athletic’s Tim Graham during his “Tim Graham and Friends” podcast, where he recalled a situation that occurred between Diggs and Allen after the Bills’ Week 1 overtime loss to the New York Jets.’
What the Stefon Diggs Trade Means for the Futures of the Bills and Texans
‘From there, and GM Brandon Beane said this in his press conference, the Bills are going to try and keep their standards where they’ve been, like the Rams did. In Los Angeles, it took great coaching (from Sean McVay), quarterbacking (from Matthew Stafford) and drafting (digging Puka Nacua, Byron Young and Kobie Turner from the middle rounds), and it’ll take the same in Buffalo, putting the onus on Sean McDermott, Allen and Beane to get it done.’
Evaluating the wide receiver class of the 2024 NFL Draft; who could be a fit for the Buffalo Bills
‘There is plenty of time until the season, but following the Stefon Diggs trade, the Bills wide receiver room includes only three players who caught passes in the NFL last season (Shakir, Samuel, Hollins). Those three players combined for just 119 catches, with Samuel leading the way with 62. Diggs alone had 107 catches in 2023.’
Did the state’s stadium corporation know about the Bills PSL pricing structure?
‘Initially, Governor Hochul’s office didn’t directly answer the question but a spokesperson provided a statement saying in part, “Our administration has communicated to the Bills leadership the need to prioritize ensuring as many fans from all walks of life are able to attend games and cheer on the Bills in the new stadium.”‘
Added picks could give Bills ammo to move up to high teens in draft
‘The bottom line is it’s reasonable to think the Bills might be able to move up to No. 21 or maybe even No. 19 or No. 18 if they trade the 28th pick along with the 2025 second-round pick and maybe add in a fourth-round pick this year.’
Source: Bills agree to terms with OT La’el Collins on one-year deal
‘Collins, 30, has played in 89 NFL games with 86 starts, almost all as a right tackle. But he has not appeared in a game since 2022.’
NFL draft preview: Solid class of cornerbacks awaits
‘The Bills are two years removed from trading up to draft cornerback Kaiir Elam. While Elam has navigated the ups and downs of the NFL, the Bills have rotated corners due to both evaluation and injuries. Now, they could be looking for depth.’
La’el Collins agrees to one-year contract with Buffalo Bills
‘If he makes the team, Collins will provide veteran depth behind starters Dion Dawkins and Spencer Brown.’
Stefon Diggs is diva on the decline: 3 reasons Bills trade was the right move
‘We, meaning the media, the fans, and most importantly his teammates and coaches, put up with it because in his first three seasons with the Bills, he was a tremendous player, the kind of player of whom you wondered, “What would the Bills do without this guy?”’
‘You sure?’: Bills, Allen to find out without Diggs
‘Clearly the Bills had motivations beyond the financial to make this move.’
Buffalo Bills reportedly allowed Stefon Diggs to seek trade from all but one rival team
‘“From what I do know, is he was allowed to seek a trade from anybody in the league except the Kansas City Chiefs, Mike,” Simms told Florio. “That’s what I’ve been told by multiple people. He was allowed to do that. The Chiefs were the only team they weren’t going to trade to.”’
