‘Wilkerson, 28, was released by the Las Vegas Raiders on May 12 and worked out for the Bills two days later. He spent the past two seasons with the Raiders and caught two passes for 18 yards and a touchdown in 2024.’

‘Legendary actor Tony Danza will star in Holiday Touchdown: A Bills Love Story alongside current and former Bills members, which is set to premiere during this year’s Hallmark Channel Countdown to Christmas, the Bills announced Monday.’

‘The exact arrival, practice dates and ticket information have not been announced – that will be coming at a later date – but you can expect the Bills to arrive in Pittsford in the last week in July and most likely stay at Fisher for about two weeks based on the the last few years.’

‘I’ve got the Bills finishing 12-5 which would be good enough to win their sixth straight AFC East division title.’

‘As for the season finale, the New York Jets will have the honor of being the last regular-season opponent the weekend of Jan. 3-4, 2026, just as they had the honor of being the first opponent in 1973 when the stadium opened its doors.’

‘The schedule will be announced on Wednesday, May 14. However, if the Bills are chosen to play an international game, those games are released one day earlier on May 13.’

‘ Of course this is nothing new for the 2020s-era Bills. Because of their five straight AFC East division titles, two appearances in the AFC Championship Game, having the second-most victories among all teams in the half-decade, and the fact that they have one of the best quarterbacks in the league in Josh Allen, the Bills have become prime-time darlings.’

‘“I feel like it didn’t the older I got, but from a young age it definitely gave me a lot of anxiety,” he said Friday. “I’m not going to say depression, but just kind of in my own head about everything, always worried about what other people thought. And the older I got, the more I got within sports, I kind of grew away from that.”’

‘With two roster spots still available, it could still happen, especially when you consider how much Sean McDermott and Brandon Beane love bringing back players they have familiarity with, both from their days with the Carolina Panthers and now with the Bills.’

‘“This will be my third team, and just the stigma that kind of goes around,” he said Monday during an introductory Zoom call with Bills reporters. “I know who I am, I know what I stand for. So when the opportunity with the Bills opened up, it just kind of sparked some … a lot of smiles, a lot of engagement, just to hear, like, how I would be viewed and fit in.”’

‘The Jets have a new head coach in Aaron Glenn, a new GM in Darren Mougey, and with that comes transition. The new hierarchy has to change so much, and it seems unlikely that in year one they will be able to end the Jets’ playoff drought which dates back to 2011 and is the longest in the NFL.’

‘Buffalo has been in talks with Moore for weeks but the two parties took a wait-and-see approach to how the Bills addressed the wide receiver position in the NFL Draft. Buffalo didn’t take a receiver until Maryland’s Kaden Prather in the seventh round, No. 240 overall.’

‘The Bills lost Mack Hollins to the Patriots, and they didn’t re-sign Amari Cooper. They signed Palmer to effectively replace Cooper, and they just signed Moore Wednesday, a player who can line up inside and out and has 200 career catches in four seasons for the Jets and Browns. They surprisingly did not add anyone of substance in the draft (Kaden Prather in the seventh round probably isn’t helping) so newcomers Palmer and Moore will have to step up to help Shakir. Of course, the same goes for Coleman who was hurt and underwhelming in his rookie year, and for Samuel who never found his niche. The Moore signing might push Shenault off the roster unless he can definitively win the kickoff return job and contribute elsewhere on special teams.’

‘Walker brings exactly what the Bills’ defensive line has needed; size to clog up the middle against the run and drag blockers away from both Ed Oliver plus the back seven on run plays. His pass rush is not elite, but he did have 7.5 sacks in the 2023 season when he was named second-team All-SEC.’

‘Hancock will come in and compete to provide depth behind Taron Johnson where right now, the main backup is utility player Cam Lewis. Hancock actually profiles similarly to Lewis in that he can play safety if needed.’
