‘“We don’t want to be a team that becomes fractured over what’s going on in the world today and it could easily happen, where your locker room is split because of comments or things that are happening around the world,” Frazier said. “So we really emphasize educating ourselves, whether you’re in the majority or the minority, as well as making sure those lines of communication are open. And if someone has a concern, bring it up, let’s talk about it. We’re supposed to be in this as one. And if we can’t talk about issues without feeling like ‘I feel uncomfortable doing it,’ well, let’s take that out of it. Let’s do what we think is the right thing to do to help us be a team and be unified, because this is something that we need to be unified around. We may have some difference of opinion in some areas, but this is one area where we need to be unified as a group, and make sure that we’re all fighting the same fight. And I think our guys get that message and time will tell.”’

‘With the current pandemic situation, McDermott has not been able to meet Stefon Diggs yet in person, but spoke about getting to know his new wide receiver via their virtual program, saying “I’ve really enjoyed it. We start with a clean slate and I’ve enjoyed getting to know Stefon and getting to know a little bit about his background and a little bit about his family. I know he’s a big workout guy and I think just like any good relationship, it has to start with building that trust, and that trust begins with respect, and mutual respect for one another, and I’ve enjoyed the fact that he’s been communicating with us and with me and been in the meetings and he’s done a good job so far.”’

‘ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler says the league expecting camps to be held in full, but unsure of dates, and that the preseason schedule could be shortened.’

‘“We need to find a way where we’re going to come together and sew that band-aid up,” Norman said. “No longer let it be a band-aid, no longer let it be a wound that’s there… we need a doctor to come through and [sew] that thing up, or else the next generation is going to carry it on.”’

‘“People are hurting right now. You can see that during the protests throughout the day. They definitely want to honor the memory of all those fallen. But, we’re definitely not going to accomplish the ultimate goal by rioting and looting and tearing up our communities. While I don’t condone the riots and the looting, I understand people’s pain and the trauma. Unfortunately, the looting and the riots are just a symptom of the bigger problem. People are just tired of the injustices that have been consistently and continuously experienced by people of color in this country. I think people are tired and fed up.”’

‘Photographer Joe Croom has been documenting several of the players-only practice sessions and via Matt Parrino of NYupstate, explained on the Buffalo Fanatics Instagram Live Show this weekend that it was his understanding that Allen put the workouts together, but that Webb seems to be the one in charge of what he called “extremely strict” practices.’

‘”I’m excited about [the 2020 season]. Josh Allen has a lot of new toys to play with; and the thing for him is he’s going to have to manage those new toys. [Stefon] Diggs is going to want the football, [John] Brown, [Cole] Beasley, those guys are going to want the football. [Allen’s] going to have to be able to pick what guy isn’t being double-teamed, what guy is ‘the hot guy.’ I think as much as it is Josh Allen is going to have to manage that, it’s going to have to be the offensive coordinator that’s going to have to be the guy to get everybody involved.”‘

‘Almost all regular season and playoff projections in the database have nearly the same odds for Buffalo and New England.’

‘According to Robinson, head coaches may be returning to team facilities as early as next week, with players reporting for minicamps in mid-to-late June. All of this would be dependent on state and local governments giving the go-ahead for all facilities to be open in their jurisdictions, as well as the NFL green-lighting teams getting back to work, as the country continues to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic.’

‘“One of the big reasons was Dan. We had a good relationship in Seattle, and then he came to Buffalo,” said Jefferson, who added he never really came close to re-signing with the Seahawks. “I wanted to play for a good organization. You guys have a great organization. Got a lot of good stuff going on. Definitely a good d-line with a lot of talent and, ah shoot, I figured, ‘why not come join that?’ It’s kind of what I left, so I wanted to join something good, as well, and see how I can contribute. You guys are a playoff-caliber team and I wanted to be a part of that.”’

‘Tagovailoa, when healthy, is a near perfect quarterback prospect. He’s accurate at every level of the field, he throws beautiful touch passes, he has lower body mechanics straight out of a football textbook, is able to read and understand how to beat opposing defenses, is a pretty decent athlete, and is given credit for great leadership qualities. The only thing to worry about him, and it’s a big worry, is his health.’

‘Diggs wound up No. 3 overall on the last, behind only the Saints’ Michael Thomas and the Seahawks’ Tyler Lockett.’

‘Even with Brady in New England, the Bills were on the cusp of dethroning the Patriots in the AFC East in 2019. Granted, the Patriots still beat the Bills in both of their matchups in 2019, but lost by a touchdown or less in both games. The Patriots held on to win the AFC East for the 11th consecutive season in 2019, but the Bills won 10 games and one of the two AFC Wild Card slots. They did lose to the Houston Texans in the Wild Card Round, but the 16-0 lead that the Bills had in the third quarter left you intrigued about the team’s potential moving forward.’

‘A: Allen, Josh: It’s fitting we start here because the 2020 Bills could very well be defined by how well Josh Allen plays.’

‘Per the details of the report, the incident occurred just before 9 p.m. local time when another motorist called 911 stating the driver of a truck was failing to maintain a lane and driving dangerously in a construction zone.

Deputies also discovered a pistol while searching his car. Oliver was taken to the Montgomery County Jail and charged with driving while intoxicated and unlawfully carrying a weapon. No drugs were found in the vehicle.’
