‘Allen showed off his wedding band during Buffalo’s minicamp on Tuesday and said marrying Steinfeld was “one of the most important decisions I’ll make in my life.”

‘”I mean, why not [participate],” Cook said. “I’m here, I’m part of the team and just not practicing, I’m a leader, so just got to practice.”‘

‘Carter and McGrady spoke with the team’s rookies after practice, and Carter also spent time before McDermott’s new conference talking with the coach. McDermott said that he’d like to have more of those conversations.’

‘From their big day to the hard launch to the first spotting together, here is how their relationship evolved.’

‘Coach Sean McDermott was asked whether he had seen any jitters from Allen on Tuesday. “Jitters from Josh? I’m not going to get into any of that,” McDermott said. “Good try on that. But he is as confident and as calm, cool and collected as he always is.”‘

‘Bosa “pulled a calf” and “more than likely” won’t participate again in the spring but should be ready for training camp, McDermott said. Bosa’s injury occurred while working with the team late last Thursday.’

‘On top of all that, the odds are in the Bills favor. Quite literally. While the numbers are subject to change as the season nears, ESPN BET Sportsbook has the Bills favored in all of their 17 games for the 2025 season, the only team to be in such a position. Twenty-three teams, since 1978, were favored to be favorites in every regular-season game.’

‘Dawkins’ suggestion of the award could be heard in many of his news conferences in the last season. The Buffalo Bills left tackle would bring up a need for an award to recognize offensive linemen unprompted, mention it in an answer about something related — or unrelated — making note that there isn’t an award recognizing the O-line. The position is one that doesn’t get much of the spotlight or attention. Offensive linemen were previously the only players not eligible for most on-field awards.’

‘The Bills became eligible to be selected for the training camp series thanks to a new set of rules introduced this offseason that expanded the pool of teams. There is no longer a rule that teams that made the playoffs in the past two years are able to opt out from participating, which would have applied to the Bills, who have made the playoffs each of the past six seasons.’

‘For a second straight year, the Bills will be on prime time early in the season with four of five scheduled prime-time games in the first six weeks. The team will also have a much earlier bye than in recent seasons, setting up a potential long stretch if the Bills extend deep into the postseason.’

‘Moore can play multiple receiver spots and joins a group in Buffalo that includes Joshua Palmer and Laviska Shenault Jr., who were added in free agency; 2024 second-round pick Keon Coleman; Khalil Shakir, who was signed to a four-year contract extension this offseason; and last year’s free agent addition, Curtis Samuel.’

‘The defense has fallen short in the postseason, notably against the Kansas City Chiefs, multiple times in the last several years. In the five regular-season games quarterback Patrick Mahomes has played against the Bills, Buffalo has held the Chiefs offense to an average of 20.8 points and 370 yards. That increases to 34.8 points and 430 yards in four playoff games. The Chiefs have two rushing plays of 20-plus yards in the regular season meetings against the Bills and eight in the playoffs.’

‘”Well, you guys were bitching in 2018 about Josh Allen, you guys wanted Josh Rosen, and now you guys are bitching that we don’t have a receiver,” Beane said when asked what he meant. “… We just scored 30 points in a row for eight straight games. A year ago, I get you guys asking why we didn’t have receivers, but I don’t understand it now. You just saw us lead the league in points, when you add all the postseason, no one scored more points than the Buffalo Bills, including the Super Bowl champions. So, you just saw us do it without Stefon Diggs, same group. How is this group not better than last year’s group? Our job is to score points and win games. Where do we need to get better? Defense. We did that. So, I get it, you got to have a show, and you got to have something to bitch about, but bitching about wide receiver is one of the dumbest arguments I’ve heard.”‘

‘Hairston played with Bills running back Ray Davis, drafted last year, at Kentucky. “Tell Ray Davis I’m moving in,” Hairston said. “…I’m just so happy to be reunited with him. That’s a great teammate and I know that he’s going to be someone that, hey, I can ask a bunch of questions with, and he’s gonna help me out.”‘

‘”It’s voluntary. So, guys come and go. Guys have things going on. Try not to look too far into it,” Beane said on Tuesday. “We could all assume he’s not here because he’s unhappy with his contract or whatever, but that’s not fair. He hasn’t told me that. No one’s told me that he said that, but I think that’s kind of unfair to say he’s not here because of that. It doesn’t mean he’s not here next week or the week after. He’ll be ready to go, though.”‘
