Buffalo Bills coach Al Holcomb benefits from NFL’s Coach Accelerator Program
‘“To have access to NFL ownership and (for) them get to know who you are and kind of what you’re about, and philosophically, some of the things that you believe in, in a one-on-one type of environment and setting was really valuable and helpful for me moving forward in this process,” he said.’
Buffalo Bills sign Gable Steveson, former Olympic gold medalist in wrestling
‘He has limited football experience, but the Bills plan to add Steveson to their defensive line. It’s not a position he has played, but he hopes his wrestling skills and competitive nature will translate to the field. The Bills listed Steveson as 5-foot-11, 266-pounds, slightly undersized for a defensive tackle.’
Bills Mailbag: Why Tyler Bass is a cause for concern entering 2024 season
‘It’s entirely fair to be concerned about Bass going into 2024. Bottom line: He wasn’t good enough at the end of last season, especially in the playoffs. It’s surprising that the Bills didn’t bring in any competition for Bass this offseason. Bass’ contract counts $4.42 million against the 2024 salary cap, and if they cut him before the season, the team would save just $100,000 of that, while having to eat more than $1 million in dead money in 2025, as well. Financially, the best-case scenario for the Bills is Bass bounces back to the form he showed in 2021 and 2022, when he made more than 87% of his field-goal attempts in both seasons. You’re right, Bill, that any reports right now about what Bass is doing aren’t all that important. Can he come through when the pressure is on? We won’t know that answer until September, at the earliest.’

‘”He’s amazing, just his feel for the game,” wide receiver Kahlil Shakir said of his teammate’s skillset. “And, even in the run game, just him making blocks. Sometimes the transition can be a little tricky from college to the NFL. And he stepped right into the fire, was going crazy and dealt with it like a professional.”‘
Ryan O’Halloran: Expect Curtis Samuel to be important piece of Bills’ new-look offense
‘Last year, the Bills had 512 rushes and 385 completions. Out of the 897 touches, Cook accounted for 31.3% of the carries/catches (237/44). Samuel could take some of that workload off Cook’s shoulders by using him as a rusher/receiver out of the backfield.’
