Bills’ Von Miller says he ‘should not’ have played last year
‘”That’s probably what should have happened, but I didn’t want that to happen,” Miller said. “I wanted to be out there and play. If I was 50%, like, nobody was going to stop me from going out there. [Bills general manager Brandon] Beane wasn’t, nobody was going to stop me from going out there. But the truth, just being honest with you guys, my knee wasn’t at a place where I could go, and I could move, and I could do the things that I wanted to do. I mean, I could play, but that was just about it.”‘
Watch: Bills’ Keon Coleman asks important question before signing his rookie contract
‘Coleman hijacked his own introductory press conference to pontificate on the art of buying winter apparel, while also revealing that he ate at Waffle House so much, that he had his cook’s number pinned in his messages. The talented pass-catcher officially signed his rookie contract last month, but the process actually confused him.’
Bills’ Josh Allen reveals his dream golf foursome of current NFL players
‘Allen has declared Kyle Allen the “vibe guy.” Undrafted out of Houston in 2018, Allen has made starts for the Houston Texans, Washington Commanders and Carolina Panthers. He actually spent the 2023 season with Josh and the Bills, but didn’t attempt a pass. Now, he’s attempting to make a roster in Pittsburgh.’
Josh Allen may have already found his new No. 1 target
‘Kincaid went up to get an Allen pass in end zone and came down with a score. This could become a familiar sight for Allen and Kincaid in 2024. With all the new faces, Kincaid could be the de facto No. 1 receiver in the Bills’ offense.’
Mike Edwards back with starters; Dawuane Smoot joins him
‘Damar Hamlin was a starting safety along with Taylor Rapp on Wednesday. Head coach Sean McDermott had said the team planned for Mike Edwards to be a starter, but a shoulder injury set him back during OTAs and minicamp. On Thursday, Edwards took that spot with Rapp and the rest of the starting defense, with Hamlin moving back to the second unit with rookie Cole Bishop.’
Guelli: Fans will be surprised with progress of Highmark Stadium
‘”When fans come to the stadium this year, they’re going to be very surprised. They’re gonna have obviously have a great view of what’s going on, but they’re gonna be surprised where we’re at,” said Bills COO Pete Guelli on Thursday during an appearance on WGR from St. John Fisher University. “I would never say ahead of schedule, but feel really good.”‘
Guelli happy to see Bills training camp evolve in Rochester after helping bring team to St. John Fisher
‘It was a competitive process, we were looking for the best location to have camp. As you can see, this is an incredible place, and Fisher jumped up on the map pretty quickly as the destination,” Guelli said. “Started working with the college, started working with people in the town, and we we’re able to put something together. Even that Year 1, we knew it was going to be a success, the way people turned out, the way they reacted to it. And Rochester is a critical market for us, so it’s always going to be important. To put a stake in the ground in the city with an event like training camp is very important.”‘
Buffalo Bills edge rusher Von Miller finds relief in putting knee injury and recovery behind him
‘”My optimistic mindset has won for me at times and it’s lost for me at times,” Miller said on Thursday. “But I don’t know any other way to think and I don’t know any other way to view things. Going back to last year I’d probably go about it the same way.”‘
Buffalo Bills training camp: WR Curtis Samuel stands out on day two

4 takeaways from Bills camp: Sorting receivers, safety shuffle, good health
‘“It’s kind of like you open the door to your silverware drawer at home and you’re like, OK tell me what this does,” McDermott said before the first practice of camp. “We don’t really know what we have. But we know what we have. And it’s interesting to see they’re a very diverse group. I know a lot of people talk about we don’t have a true No. 1 and this and that. I think these guys will rise to the occasion.”’
Bills celebrating their successes at training camp
‘“You’re scoring some touchdowns, and you see James Cook on a passing touchdown and James Cook, Dion [Dawkins], Josh [Allen]” said Brady. That speaks so loudly to me seeing those guys celebrate and have fun.”’
Buffalo Campday Recap: No charges for Von; Samuel is the Day 2 star
‘A day after Dalton Kincaid and Keon Coleman dominated for the offense, it was Curtis Samuel’s turn to step up. Plus, could Mack Hollins have a bigger role in the offense than fans expect?’
‘Everyone eats’: Bills offensive coordinator emphasizing teamwork as key to success
‘”Football is hard,” Brady said Thursday. “You can be the best offense in the NFL, going against the 32nd-ranked team, and it’s still going to be hard to score. That’s just the reality of it. This is the NFL, and when you score touchdowns, it’s not just one person scoring that touchdown. It took a whole drive, and it took 11 people. Part of what I’m trying to emphasize and coach McDermott is trying to emphasize is we have a lot of new guys, but us doing it all together. If we really emphasize that ‘Everyone eats’ mindset, you can see when people score, we celebrate together.”‘
