Rochester Democrat and Chronicle

‘Now Singletary is gone and the Bills will be looking to get more out of Cook because as a second-round pick, let’s be fair; he needs to step up and become the primary back. Having Damien Harris and Nyheim Hines is nice, but as a second-rounder, Cook needs to be the main man.’

‘It’s funny because Knox was just given a four-year contract extension last season, yet Kincaid may wind up being the type of player the Bills wish Knox would have become by now – a tight end who is a true difference-maker down the field the way stars Travis Kelce, Mark Andrews and George Kittle are for their teams.’

‘“It’s an accumulation of things, I think,” he said, trying to explain why he believes he will be more in tune with everything heading into training camp and the regular season. “Just understanding our window, and I want to give everything that I have for as long as I play. I’m not saying that I haven’t done that in the past, but there’s always new ways that I can find to get better.”’

‘During their tenure, the Bills have qualified for the playoffs five times in six years after not making it to the postseason in the 17 seasons before they rolled into town. The Bills have also won three consecutive AFC East division titles, something they haven’t done since winning four in a row from 1988-91 in the Marv Levy-Bill Polian era.’

‘Parking for training camp will be like the past and fans may park at Pittsford Sutherland or Pittsford Mendon and take a shuttle bus to training camp for $1. There is no public parking on campus.’

‘As we learned later in the day, Diggs was at the stadium Monday for his physical, and he was there Tuesday and spoke with McDermott, Josh Allen, and Brandon Beane and possibly others, then left before practice began. So the “very concerned” comment seemed unusual given that McDermott had just spoken with Diggs, at the facility.’

‘It was clear that McDermott is not happy about what is happening with Diggs, but he would got get into it any further, saying that he’s concentrating on practicing with the players who are in attendance, which would be every other player on the roster.’

‘I also don’t understand why coach Sean McDermott would stir the embers with a comment that, in hindsight, did not portray him in a good light.’

‘For the first time since Diggs joined the team in a 2020 trade from Minnesota, he skipped the entire offseason program. While true that attendance for the sessions prior to this week were voluntary, it was still somewhat surprising that the three-time Pro Bowler didn’t show up for anything, and it raised speculation about whether he’s unhappy with the team.’

‘The official trailer for the video game features gameplay graphics and highlights Allen. Six seconds into the trailer, Allen looks up from the 50-yard line. The last 12 seconds of the video are all Allen and the Bills. There’s an aerial view of Highmark Stadium, a cutaway of Allen, and an Allen stiff arm to Baltimore Ravens safety Geno Stone.’

‘The deal saw New York forking over $600 million in public funding, while Erie County pitched in $250 million. $850 million is the largest public commitment for the construction of an NFL facility, according to the Associated Press.’

‘Speculation is running rampant that the ultimate goal will be to use Kincaid not as a traditional in-line tight end but as the slot receiver. In other words, a bigger, stronger version of Cole Beasley and Isaiah McKenzie.’

‘Ticket prices start at $3,999 for two people and $4,699 for individuals. To secure a spot, a deposit of $2,000 is required upfront, with the final payment due by Aug. 15.’

‘Buffalo sits as high as No. 3 and as low as No. 8 among a roundup of 13 national outlets. The Bills are No. 4 in 10 of the rankings, most commonly behind the Chiefs, Bengals and Philadelphia Eagles.’

‘The difference between the Bills’ rookie minicamp which wraps Saturday, and the OTAs which will start May 22, is that Kincaid was catching those passes not from Josh Allen, but from two guys named Quinten Dormandy and Jalen McLendon whose Bills careers will most likely be over sometime later this weekend.’
