‘Diggs will be joining teammates Dion Dawkins and James Cook for the 2023 Pro Bowl Games next weekend in Orlando, Florida, as he replaces Cleveland Browns wideout Amari Cooper, who will not attend due to an injury.’

‘Hamlin was able to return to play five regular season games this year after nearly losing his life late last year in a Week 17 matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals at Paycor Stadium. In those five games, Hamlin played mainly on special teams, but still managed to register two tackles in action on defense.’

‘When it comes to signing outside free agents, as Beane noted, don’t expect any big splashes. The Bills will be shopping for bargains, which is why they really need to hit this draft and have some key contributions coming from players on cost-controlled contracts for the next few years.’

‘Bills quarterback Josh Allen has, once again, been named one of five finalists for NFL’s Most Valuable Player. It is the third time in his career (2020 and 2022) where he earned votes as a finalist for league MVP.’

‘Beane noted that the roster will need to get younger in some areas, and that it will be imperative to hit on this year’s draft in order for to acquire those younger, cheaper players to contribute.’

‘”I’m extremely proud of what we’ve accomplished, but not in any way satisfied or going to get complacent with where we’re at,” said McDermott on Tuesday. “Every year, you start over and every year, I can tell you and promise you that fire burns within me bright as it did the year before, if not more. We’re disappointed, yes, but not broken.”‘

‘”Buffalo already felt more like home than any other place ever did. You gave us an instant sense of belonging,” Hyde recollected.’

‘The Buffalo Bills have announced the signing of 14 players to Reserve/Future contracts for the upcoming 2024 season.’

‘On Monday, the Bills cleaned out their lockers at One Bills Drive in Orchard Park, and provided some thoughts on the season that was, and the months ahead for the group during their end-of-season press conferences.’

‘These 11 players will eventually count towards the 90 players allowed on the roster heading into training camp in July.’

‘Even with all of the injuries on the defensive side of the ball, I was thoroughly convinced Josh Allen and the offense would carry the Bills to a victory, and move to within one win of the Bills’ first Super Bowl berth since the 1993 season.’

‘“I’m confident in this team. I’m confident in Josh. You know, we have to continue to grow, and I think you want to get to a game like this as healthy as you possibly can. That’s not the reason why we lost, however. Again, we just didn’t do enough defensively.”’

‘The Buffalo Bills were looking to survive and advance to the AFC Championship in Baltimore, but, they ultimately fell short once again at the hands of the Kansas City Chiefs.’

‘The Bills were gashed all night by the Chiefs in the run game. They ran 24 times for 146 yards, averaging 6.1 yards per carry.’

‘”I wish he wouldn’t have been put in that situation. You win as a team and you lose as a team. One play doesn’t define a game, it doesn’t define a season. I know people are going to be out there saying that and we’ve got to be there for him because if we execute a couple of plays prior, we are probably singing a different tune.”‘
