‘The couple got engaged in November of 2024 and were first linked in May of 2023. They got engaged in Malibu, California and Steinfeld said she was surprised by the proposal. Allen asked Steinfeld to marry him in front of a flower arch and candles.’

‘”To some extent, I think it’s a real compliment to them choosing us and selecting our organization now that the criteria has changed,” McDermott said. “You look at it one of two ways, and it’s probably a little bit of both.”‘

‘The surface-level stats, though, reveal just a small part of why Cook feels like he deserves to be paid like a top-tier running back. After posting 2.76 yards per rush after contact in 2023, Cook jumped to 3.26 yards in that category in 2024, ninth among all players with at least 200 rushes and one spot above Barkley. Cook was significantly better against heavy boxes and out of the shotgun compared to the year before, too.’

‘When it comes to what Cook is looking for in a new contract, he said during a podcast appearance earlier this offseason that, “I just want to get what I deserve.” Cook previously hinted while live on Instagram that seeks $15 million per year.’

‘Bosa sat nine games in 2018 and missed an additional 23 contests across the last three years with injuries. When healthy, though, the veteran pass rusher is one of the most disruptive defensive players in the NFL. He won the AP Defensive Rookie of the Year award in 2016 and rattled off five Pro Bowl selections, including his most recent one last season.’

‘The Bills should definitely be concerned about this injury and that’s because if there’s been one knock on Bosa over the past few years, it’s that he hasn’t been able to stay on the field. Over the past three seasons, Bosa has missed a total of 23 games due to injury.’

‘It’s hard imagine “Hard Knocks” choosing five better teams to chronicle in 2025. Along with having one of the most passionate fan bases in the NFL, the Bills have the league’s reigning league MVP in quarterback Josh Allen, who has led Buffalo to five straight AFC East division crowns.’

‘Still just 25 years old, Moore is entering his fifth season in the NFL. During his first four seasons, Moore established himself as a solid complementary player who can help open things up for the rest of the offense.’

‘Despite trying to address some clear needs, teams rarely make everyone happy with their draft choices, and some in the Buffalo market questioned whether they’ve done enough with their receiver group going into this season. That line of thinking clearly upsets GM Brandon Beane, as we went on WGR 550 in Buffalo and torched their hosts to start an interview for “bitching” about the wide receiver room.’

‘White played in Buffalo from 2017 to 2023, during which he was named first-team All-Pro and a Pro Bowler twice.’

‘A sixth-round draft pick of the Bills out of Villanova in 2022, Benford played just nine games as a rookie, then emerged as a key piece of the secondary as a second-year player. He’s logged at least two interceptions and 10 pass breakups in each of his last two seasons, even drawing a vote for Defensive Player of the Year, thanks to his breakout 2024 campaign.’

‘”It feels amazing to be back,” Hamlin said. “This is home, this is all I know as a pro. I’m connected to this place on a totally different level. So this is the place I want to be, where I want to spend my whole career if I can. It feels good to be back.”‘

‘”Coming in to Buffalo, I was a kid that just wanted to improve and learn and really show off my talents. But I was always put in the back seat,” Elam said on a conference call Monday. “So I continued to put my head down and work, and [I] continued to make plays throughout the season and in the playoffs and stuff like that. This time around [in 2024], I got less and less opportunities. I just took everything I learned from there and all the baggage and the improvements I felt like I needed to make and just packaged it up and worked on it every day. So I don’t really see it as a negative. I really just see it as a growing opportunity for me to go shine somewhere else.”‘

‘According to Beane, the Bills knew about Hoecht’s positive test when they signed him to a three-year, $21 million contract but did not know about Ogunjobi’s prior to agreeing with him on a one-year, $8.3 million deal.’

‘Allen’s new contract is worth an average of $55 million per year, which puts him behind Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, who is making an average of $60 million per year, which is the highest in the NFL.’
