‘“You would have loved for him to get off to a faster start,” Beane conceded. “It was nice to see once he got healthy down the stretch, that we started utilizing him and his speed. I think him and (Josh Allen), really started to form a bond. Sometimes that takes a little time – you’d love to when you roll the ball out September 1st that they’re ready to roll, but it doesn’t always happen that way.”’

Ryan O’Halloran: A month after terrorist attack, New Orleans confident of incident-free Super Bowl Week
‘All in the name of making sure what happened on 1/1/25 isn’t repeated this week as the world sports stage shifts here to host an 11th Super Bowl.’
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell: League will keep examining ways to help officials spot football
‘“We tested it in the preseason this past year about being able to use that technology,” Goodell said. “It is complicated. Obviously, you have a lot of inhumanity that interferes with (getting the call made) potentially from a camera angle standpoint. But you also have the shape of the ball that is different and it’s about where the ball is, not where individual is, necessarily.”’
Browns superstar edge rusher asks for trade: Why Bills should try, what they could offer
‘In eight seasons, he has amassed 102.5 sacks including double digits in each of the last seven years, and he has earned six All-Pro selections (four on the first team), six Pro Bowl invites and he was the 2023 NFL defensive player of the year.’
Why the Buffalo Bills should aggressively pursue trade for Browns’ Myles Garrett
‘The Chiefs hadn’t scored 30 points in a game all season before last week’s AFC Championship. Buffalo even held Kansas City to 20 points back in November, but when it mattered most, the Bills couldn’t stop Patrick Mahomes. Part of the problem was a lack of consistent pass rush. The Bills sacked Mahomes twice, which was an improvement. They only managed one sack each in the previous three playoff games against Mahomes.’
Sabato: The Bills would be crazy not to take a swing at Browns star Myles Garrett, but can either side afford it?
‘Six of the team’s 21 picks in the first three rounds of the NFL draft since 2018 have been allocated to defensive linemen. Since 2019, the Bills have spent more than $280 million on defensive linemen, allocating 22% of the salary cap to the position.’
Bills QB Josh Allen sees Amari Cooper as ‘a true football player,’ not a disappointment
‘“I’ve got nothing but love and respect for Amari Cooper,” Allen said the day after that defeat. “I will never in my life say a bad thing about him. For him to come into this situation and understand the role that he was brought here to do, he is a true football player, a true teammate, and I’m just honored to share the field with him.”’
From 4 straight Super Bowl losses to Josh Allen’s Patrick Mahomes problem, Bills might be cursed
Does Orlovsky have a point? Are the Bills, and Allen, the most haunted organization and player in the history of the league?’
Josh Allen Says He ‘Dreams’ About Plays He Wants Back in AFC Title Loss to Chiefs
‘“It sucks. Just sitting here thinking about everything that you could’ve done differently,” Allen said in an interview with Rob Maaddi. “I’m having dreams about certain plays that I wish I could have back. There’s no easy way about it.”’
Buffalo Bills should sprint to trade for disgruntled superstar in pursuit of Super Bowl
‘Brandon Beane should be on the phone as soon as possible to tell Andrew Berry he’ll give him multiple first-round picks in exchange for Garrett. As I pointed out in my Maxx Crosby trade proposal, look at the Bills’ top selections since drafting Josh Allen – Keon Coleman, Dalton Kincaid, Kaiir Elam, Greg Rousseau, A.J. Epenesa, Ed Oliver. All are replacable players, and show that the Bills aren’t great at drafting early. Ship off two first round picks, get arguably the top pass rusher in football, and give yourself an eater of worlds on defense.’
Bills turn toward the NFL Draft; the first-round order is nearly set
‘The Buffalo Bills postseason run is done, and now it’s all about the offseason. No small part of that will be the NFL Draft.’
