‘”No one called on Diggs,” Beane said on “The Pat McAfee Show” this week. “I think people know that he’s ours, and we wouldn’t (do that) — even if there was an issue — and he was never asking to be traded. That never came up. I’ve got a great relationship with his agent, Adisa Bakari. So it was truly never an issue. It was just more us getting in a room and talking through how last season finished and getting on the same page.”‘

‘”I feel like Gabe Davis will have a breakout year,” Diggs said. “I feel like he had got nicked up a little early last year, but I think this year he’s gonna have an amazing year. He’s damn near WR1 in my eyes. I feel like if I wasn’t here, Gabe Davis would be a WR1 and it’s something that I can hang my hat on when I say that. He’s an extremely hard worker.”‘

‘”It feels amazing [to be back],” Hamlin said Monday at a post-practice press conference. “It’s a rollercoaster of emotions. I was kind of all over the place being back for the first time. God doesn’t make mistakes, I’m on God’s timing. As much as the NFL is on schedule, this is God’s timing. That’s my strength in all this right now. I pretty much lost my life playing this sport, so to come back and do it all again, it’s all over the place. I’m rooted in my faith. I’m rooted in love from my family, my teammates, and love all around the world.”‘

‘At first glance, Kincaid simply moves differently than any other tight end on the roster. He exudes fluidity off the snap, when running his routes, and after the catch. That forward “lean” description typically reserved for speedy receivers and backs emanates from each stride Kincaid makes on the field.’

‘”Everybody has family issues,” Diggs told reporters Wednesday. “Everybody has family problems. I was here (in the spring), I did have a conversation with Coach, and I like to keep things in-house. … My main focus and my only focus is winning. Super Bowls. … We’ve been trying to get over the hump. It’s all water under the bridge now. I attribute it to family matters. All is well. Now we’re back to work.”‘

‘The veteran was acquired by the Bills at last year’s in-season trade deadline and was expected to at least serve as the team’s top kick and punt returner. A former change-of-pace back with the Colts, he would’ve also offered experience as a secondary pass catcher.’

‘”I believe that everybody that came out regardless of why you came out is truly equipping yourself with a super-power,” Hamlin said at the event. “Being able to have a life-saving tool and to have that with you when you walk around in any room, you pretty much can consider yourself a super-hero.”‘

‘Both tight end Dawson Knox and defensive end Greg Rousseau had the popular red Bills helmet from the 1990s on their Instagram stories as part of a Labatt Blue promotion. Is there more than meets the eye here?’

‘For instance, just a few weeks ago, Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs showed up for the first day of minicamp, only to leave practice and head home. It led Bills coach Sean McDermott to state that he was “very concerned” about the situation, although it ended up being resolved by the next day.’

‘To open the festivities, the Yankees will begin next Monday by honoring Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin, whose heart stopped while making a tackle on Jan. 3. First responders were able to resuscitate Hamlin by performing CPR and using a defibrillator. He has since been cleared to return to the field by multiple doctors.’

‘”Him and Josh Allen seemed to have a bromance rolling, it felt like for years there, until there was a problem with their game against the Bengals in the playoffs,” RG3 said. “So, I think it’s clear, this is a personal thing between Josh and Diggs. And they have to get their partnership back on the field, and that’s part of playing quarterback. I think Josh Allen’s running into that right now. Everything is fine, until it’s not fine in a relationship when it comes to a quarterback and a wide receiver like Diggs. So Josh has to manage that relationship the right way and I think he’s the only one that can rectify.”‘

‘During their six seasons at the helm, Buffalo has compiled a 62-35 record and made the playoffs five times. The Bills had previously not made the playoffs since 1999. Their 0.639 winning percentage during that stretch is third-best in the NFL behind only the Chiefs and Saints, while only seven teams have won more than their four playoff games.’

‘Cook was impressive in a small sample size for Buffalo last season, finishing with 89 carries for 507 yards and two touchdowns — averaging 5.7 yards per carry. He showed his versatility out of the backfield, catching 21 passes for 180 yards and a touchdown and averaging 8.6 yards per reception.’

‘”I’ve gotten to know Aaron a little bit over the years, and I would consider us very close,” Allen said (via The Ringer). “I wouldn’t say we text on the regular. I don’t really call him, I FaceTime him. He usually answers, which is a big plus. I know he doesn’t answer a lot of people.”‘
