‘As things currently stand, Beane does not have a second-round pick in this week’s draft. He made use of that capital on Moore, but the Bills still have work to do on the roster. Bringing a receiver like Moore to Buffalo helps the Bills in other ways, but Beane knows any trade means giving up something. “Listen, you want all your picks,” Beane said Tuesday. “You want to be selective when you do it. But we just felt in most drafts, and especially in this draft, we just didn’t feel like there’s going to be a player of DJ’s caliber to trade that 2.’

Bills won’t set timeline for hiring diverse vendors in new stadium concessions
‘The Buffalo Bills say their concessionaire in the new stadium is in preliminary conversations with regional vendors as part of an effort to meet hiring goals for disadvantaged businesses. They just won’t specify when that hiring will happen. And that’s got members of the committee overseeing the Community Benefits Agreement tied to the building of the over $2 billion stadium feeling uneasy as the team is a little over three months away from hosting the first event in the new building.’
Buffalo News’ Adam Zyglis among local artists selected for Bills new stadium collection

How the latest mock drafts see the Bills using their first round pick
‘You can throw all kinds of possible names out every year when trying to predict who the Bills might pick in the first round, but they are usually concentrated on maybe two or three position groups, max. This year, their first-round pick, No. 26 overall, could come from as many as six position groups, and there probably wouldn’t be too much pushback unless, you know, they take a tight end or a running back.’

Bills’ Josh Allen had a bizarre request for his foot surgery
‘“A little piece of bone just kind of broke off and was floating there. So they just went in, took it out, kind of like a small rock,” Allen said. “… Our head trainer, Nate Breske, was there, and apparently, they wrapped it up and threw it away as quickly as they could. And I really wanted it. It may be floating out there, who knows. Black market or something.”’
Expect Beane to lean defence again at NFL Draft
‘Whether it’s true or not, what matters is that the Bills defence hasn’t been good enough, especially during the times they needed to be. That issue has been highlighted by a consistently weak ability to get to the quarterback, despite signing such proven veteran pass rushers as Von Miller and Joey Bosa.’
Bills’ Keon Coleman mistake looms large in 2026 NFL Draft week
‘About two years ago, the Buffalo Bills drafted an exciting wide receiver talent, Keon Coleman, at the start of the second round. That choice looms large as the Bills prepare for this week’s 2026 NFL Draft, and not in a good way.’
The case for the Bills trading down and out of the 1st round of the 2026 NFL Draft
‘hat means that after the Bills pick in the first round, they won’t pick again until the third round, as things stand right now. The lack of a second-rounder is a large window through which talent can’t be acquired. Now, clearly, Moore essentially stands in as the pseudo-pick. But by the time the draft arrives, it starts feeling like a long, long time to wait between picks for Buffalo.’

‘”I was just on cloud nine,” Hairston said. “When I got that phone call, I tried not to cry, I was trying so hard to fight it, but it just came out. I couldn’t even control it. Everything I played for to hear my name being called on draft night … That’s probably my number one life experience so far.”‘
