‘Farwell made the Pro Bowl as a special teams ace. He knows his playing days go into his coaching now, “I definitely think that’s my coaching style. What I lack an experience in coaching I kind of make it up with playing time. I’ve played up against a lot of these guys or a couple guys I should say and just being in those locker rooms a handful of years ago, I feel like I’ve had a good relationship with them and am still building it. I’m hoping they respect me, I’m hoping I’m getting that respect from them as I’m coaching them because I respect every single one of them and I know what they go through. Understanding what they go through every day, I would say, nobody knows it better than I do.”’

‘“Yeah, that was a no-brainer,” he said of the decision to re-sign. “I love it here. Probably my favorite, just culture, that I’ve been in so far, where guys are playing for each other, believe in each other, and what coach McDermott is building is very unique, I think, among the NFL. The situation as a whole here has been in my favor, for whatever reason.”’

‘According to the website TMZ, Dodson was charged with domestic violence, disorderly conduct, and damage to property, all misdemeanors, and all stemming from an altercation between Dodson and his girlfriend.’

‘Tre White and Levi Wallace come into OTA’s as the starters, but watch out for Kevin Johnson. He’s a five-year veteran that was drafted in the first round by Houston. Injuries derailed him with the Texans as he played 16 games, six games, 12 games and one game. Frazier likes how he’s looked in the first two weeks of practice, “He’s a former first round pick that had a good career in Houston and the injuries are what sidetracked him, but you saw the ability coming out of college (Wake Forest), so we’re hoping that he can stay healthy because we know he has the talent to really help us.”’

‘Ninth-overall draft pick Ed Oliver was a DT with the second unit. MLB Julian Stanford called defensive signals for the second group.’

‘Really, really good.’

‘In three seasons with the Bills from 2015 to 2017, Incognito started all 48 games and made three Pro Bowls.’

‘The entire 91-man roster (the Bills have one roster exemption this offseason) will be required to attend a three-day mandatory minicamp from June 11th to the 13th before taking their final break of the year prior to training camp beginning in late July.’

‘All Trubisky had to do was not screw it up, and he didn’t. But he also led an offense that finished with the ninth most points scored per-game and finished 14th overall in passing yards per-play. Trubisky was, by no means, in the upper-echelon of NFL quarterbacks last year, but he was good enough to complement a great defense, and productive enough to have the offense rely on him when needed.’

‘The Bills not sit with seven tight ends on the roster, including the injured Tyler Kroft. With Lee Smith’s recent contract including guaranteed money, Dawson Know being a 3rd round pick, and Kroft’s big deal, it’s likely that only one roster spot at the position is up for grabs. Jason Croom and seventh round pick Tommy Sweeney will be leading candidates for that spot.’

‘“It was good,” Allen said this week when asked about him and Darnold training with each other once again. “We tried not to talk about a lot of football, but it comes up when we are on the field together and just talking about experiences and different defenses that we played and how we adapted and what we thought of them. Even going over how our offenses were and how we thought of our offense and obviously he’s in a different situation. He’s got a new [offensive coordinator] and a new head coach, and me being here with the Bills.”’

‘Hughes was scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent after this season. The extension keeps Hughes in a Bills uniform through the 2021 season.’

‘“Its not ideal,” McDermott said. “Availability is key, but we trust our medical staff and Tyler, as well. He’s a hard working young man and will be backing due time and ready to go.”’

‘On defense, ninth overall pick Ed Oliver was with the 2nd unit, lined up next to Harrison Phillips on the defensive line. Jordan Phillips and Star Lotulelei were the starters. Levi Wallace was the first-team cornerback opposite Tre’Davious White.’

‘The more time passes, the more the memories of Bills running back O.J. Simpson disintegrate. All we’re left with is a shell of a once great football player that shamefully waddles about as a free man. Who needs to honor that?’
