Two Bills Drive

'Dezmin Lewis was the Bills' seventh round pick in the 2015 NFL draft. He had the size you looked for in a wide receiver, but failed to make any impact with the Bills. Lewis was a member of the Bills' practice squad for the majority of the 2015 and 2016 season. He appeared in two career games with the Bills, but never recorded any receptions. Despite Buffalo having a wide open wide receiver competition, Lewis struggled to stand out on the field this offseason.'

'The Bills have to cut their roster down to 53 players by Saturday afternoon. So does every other NFL team. This is the first year in which the league skipped the 75-man roster cut down and went straight to 53. If you do the math, over 1,000 players will be cut from NFL rosters by 4 p.m. Saturday. That's an impossibly large number of players to sift through in real time, especially when coming to conclusions about your own roster. That's why Beane will be enlisting the public relations staff this weekend.'

'My thinking: They have to throw to someone. Reunited with his wide receiver coach from college, the rookie has impressed during camp and will be the Bills' No. 1 threat on the perimeter. More than 240 targets from last year are available, and the sure-handed Jones will see a significant portion of them.'

'The Buffalo Bills have until 4 p.m. on Saturday to trim their roster down to 53 players. Buffalo began the cut down process earlier in the week and have continued the process today. Keep track of the Bills' roster cut downs here.'

'Nathan Peterman showed on Thursday night that the team doesn't need three quarterbacks on their 53-man roster. The quarterback completed 9-of-11 passes for 81 yards against Detroit. Peterman has a good grasp of the offense and can backup Tyrod Taylor as a rookie.'

'If the Bills get off to a poor start, say 1-4 before their Week 6 bye — which is entirely possible as they play the Jets, Panthers, Broncos, Falcons and Bengals with three of those games on the road — then McDermott should switch to Peterman at that point.'

'“With how the draft went and everything like that, I have a chip on my shoulder,” he continued. “For me, I’ve always had the same confidence in myself, believe in what I can do and see what other people think about it.”'

'OL Cameron Jefferson stood, but with a raised fist in the air as the song played.'

'The Buffalo Bills’ camper/RV lot at New Era Field has been sold out for the first four games of the home season, the Bills’ PR account announced Friday.'

'Jones says the support from all over, especially from those in Buffalo, has been amazing. “You don’t realize how special [the Bills fan base" target="_blank"> is until you’re not there.”'

'If you asked Bill Munson, Bills VP of Government Relations & External Affairs, to describe himself in a few words, he would tell you that he’s loyal, dedicated, trustworthy and honest – and after spending 44 years with the Bills, everyone that knows him would agree. Throughout his tenure with the team, Munson has held nine different roles, seen 889 Bills games live, driven over 1,000,000 miles to and from One Bills Drive and built relationships with 1,122 Bills all-time roster players and 227 all-time roster coaches. After a remarkable career, Munson is ready to embark on the next chapter in his life and will officially retire on Friday, Sept. 1.'

'“We’ll digest what happens in the game,” said Beane. “We’ll come in [Friday], medically see where everyone is first. And then, get all the guys in. Break down the film. The next thing we’ll do is meet with the personnel guys, position by position, how they see it. And then we’ll come back, circle up with Sean, and the executive staff. We’ll talk about what we heard, what we didn’t hear, and then we’ll circle back with at least the coordinators…We’ll do that all day [Friday].'

'"I think it's bigger than that," coach Sean McDermott said of Peterman making his case as a potential opening-day starter if needed. "It's developing a young player, regardless of what position. We wanted to get him out there and give him a good look in a couple of series, and I thought he did a good job."'

'"All I can do is my part and let the chips fall where they may," Jefferson said. "It's in God's hands now."'
