‘”The team is just such a really cool group of guys. I always tell the rookies when they come in, ‘You really won’t ever be around a better group of men,’ Just the relationships that we built in Buffalo … those are relationships that we’ve built over the years that’s really second to none, and I can’t really think of a better situation for me to be in than Buffalo right now,” Poyer said.’

‘”People still come up to me and talk about it. That’s the game people talk about,” Allen told the Bussin’ with the Boys podcast. “To be a part of it is great, but to be on the losing end of it is not so great. It doesn’t make me feel any better when someone comes up and says, ‘That was the greatest game I’ve ever seen.’ It’s like, we lost.”‘

‘”All the great quarterbacks, they just have this … aura about them, this energy about them, that they’re able to lead grown men. And Josh is one of those guys, he does it in his own way,” the 33-year-old Miller said. “I’ve been around Peyton Manning, Matthew Stafford, and all of these great quarterbacks, and Josh is a great quarterback, too, and the sky’s the limit for him. Huge reason why I came here, I’m a huge believer in Josh Allen and what we’re doing with the Bills, and I wanted to be a part of it.”‘

‘Buffalo has been negotiating with Poyer’s agents, Drew Rosenhaus and Kyle Lincoln, per Adam Schefter, as the veteran enters a contract year. The 31-year-old defensive back is currently due about $10.8 million in 2022, the final season of a two-year, $19.5 million extension he signed in 2020. Poyer would be the NFL’s sixth-highest-paid safety with that salary cap hit, but he’s the 12th-highest-paid at his position in terms of average annual salary coming off the first All-Pro nod of his career.’

‘Bills officials declined to elaborate on the statement, per the Buffalo News, which does not detail the severity of Pegula’s health issues, or where she is receiving treatment. The team has since issued the following message on social media, however: “All of Bills Mafia is sending our love and prayers to you, Kim. We are with you and the entire Pegula family.”‘

‘During an interview prior to “The Match” golf showdown on Wednesday night, Allen admitted that he throws up before every NFL game. Fortunately for his fellow competitors, Allen didn’t feel the need to throw up prior to Wednesday’s edition of “The Match.”‘

‘According to Spotrac, Smith could forfeit $390,423 due to this suspension, a number which includes money from his base salary, signing bonus and game active bonus. The Bills could free up $1.1 million in cap space if he is released.’

‘The first game will pit the Tennessee Titans at the Buffalo Bills, to be played at 7:15 p.m. ET on ESPN.’

‘Patriots: New England will be entering Year 2 of Mac Jones and will be looking for the first-round quarterback to take the next step in his development. This offseason, they have provided him with some new weapons, including receivers DeVante Parker and second-round pick Tyquan Thornton. However, they did lose offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels this offseason, which cannot be overlooked. On defense, the departure of J.C. Jackson will also be a hole that Bill Belichick will need to fill in some capacity.’

‘Those two picks were also somewhat surprising, if only because you almost never see two punters get taken that early With Stout going at 130th overall and Camarda going three picks later, this year marked just the third time since 1993 that two punters were taken before the end of the fourth round. The only other times it happened came in 1993 and 2007.’

‘James, 22, enters the NFL with four years of college experience, emerging as a change-of-pace star for Georgia in 2021, when he totaled over 1,000 scrimmage yards despite making just three starts. His ability to shift in space should bode well for his future with the Bills, with Devin Singletary and Zack Moss already in place as more traditional ball-carriers. Buffalo attempted to sign Commanders pass-catching specialist J.D. McKissic in free agency before the veteran returned to Washington, so Cook could immediately slot into such a role as a rookie.’

‘Brady just unveiled a new clothing brand back in January and Allen might have single-handedly put it out of business with that one tweet.’

‘The Bills currently play in Orchard Park’s Highmark Stadium, their home since 1973 and the fourth-oldest complex in the NFL. Under their 30-year lease with New York State and Erie County for construction of the new stadium, the Bills will get a record $850 million from public taxpayers, as well as $250 million from Erie County, in addition to the $600 million state funds. Gov. Kathy Hochul had made funding a new Bills stadium one of her “signature proposals,” per The News, and Assembly Majority Leader Crystal Peoples-Stokes defended the investment as a win for the community.’

‘Diggs had two years remaining on his current contract, which was slated to carry roughly an $18 million salary cap hit in each season. The news comes during the same off-season in which Tyreek Hill ($72.2 million guaranteed) and Davante Adams ($65 million guaranteed) received lucrative contract extensions of their own.’
