  2. Lions cut TE Roberts after trade with Pats is voided Print By Andie Hagemann Around The NFL Writer Published: June 14, 2019 at 04:32 p.m. Updated: June 14, 2019 at 04:50 p.m. Michael Roberts isn't joining the Patriots after all.

  3. Cody Ford is a quality pick that could have been drafted well before Buffalos selection This is a nasty football player who I compare to Ruben Brown. Day 1 starter
  4. It’s the third season of Zay Jones’ NFL career. Traditionally, many star wideouts – or at least true No. 1 receivers – start to break out during their third seasons. After a poor rookie season, Jones certainly stepped in the right direction last year. He doubled his numbers in just about every category, notching 56 catches for 652 yards and seven touchdowns . It appears 2019 is off to a good start, too. The 2019 season opener is a long ways away, but Jones posted to his social media accounts and announced he won the Bills’ “most improved overall body composition champion” award: https://billswire.usatoday.com/2019/06/14/zay-jones-buffalo-bills-award/
  5. I like the guy, I mean he never flipped the bird at the Bills anyway....
  6. Pat Bowlen bred success through family atmosphere Print By Judy Battista NFL.com reporter Published: June 14, 2019 at 02:36 a.m. Updated: June 14, 2019 at 03:28 a.m. In the moments after the Denver Broncos won Super Bowl 50, with the Lombardi Trophy having just been placed in his hands, John Elway reached back across decades to tie the franchise's past and present together. "This one's for Pat!" Elway exulted. It was not just an echo of the Broncos' first Super Bowl celebration from 18 years earlier. It was a reminder that the man who authored that original iconic moment -- Broncos' owner Pat Bowlen, after the team had finally won a Super Bowl following four previous losses, proclaimed, "This one's for John!" -- was absent only in body, but not in spirit or influence. Bowlen, who bought the Broncos with his siblings in 1984 and became one of the winningest owners in NFL history, died Thursday at age 75 after a long struggle with Alzheimer's disease. By any standard, Bowlen was an extraordinarily successful owner, saving the Broncos from possible bankruptcy and making them a pillar of the Denver community and a regular participant in the postseason. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001033791/article/pat-bowlen-bred-success-through-family-atmosphere
  7. Quietly, the Buffalo Bills have built a trio of young linebackers well-suited to take on modern NFL offense by Avery Duncan 1 day ago Since 2017, the mantra of the Buffalo Bills new era of leadership and team-building has been the process. With Brandon Beane acting as a conductor of the train, the Bills have seamlessly built something out of nothing. This holds especially true when accounting for the quarterback, offensive line, secondary, defensive line, and linebacker corps. Maybe the least polarizing of all the previously mentioned units is the last unit. In today’s NFL, linebackers are being pulled off the field, in exchange for fleet-footed defensive backs — AKA nickel cornerbacks in sub formations. The radical, league-wide, acclimation of the horizontal passing game has forced teams to move away from prototypical, big-bodied, bludgeoning linebackers in favor of quicker, safety-esque ones. The linebackers of old simply weren’t build to handle slot receivers and fast tight ends on a snap-to-snap basis. Per Sharp Football Stats, the NFL ran 73% of their plays with a slot receiver in 2018. The Bills are all too aware of the league’s shift in thought process and schematics. The team’s past three drafts are an excellent indication of that, specifically, the selections of Matt Milano, Tremaine Edmunds, and Vosean Joseph. Milano, the team’s fifth-round selection in 2017 is the leader of the young group of modern linebackers. A former safety turned inside linebacker; he’s athletic as they come. Though considered undersized at 6-foot, 223-pounds, he turned heads at the combine to the tune of a 4.67 second 40-yard-dash, 127-inch broad jump, and 35-inch vertical. In Milano’s second year, 2018, his athleticism coupled with excellent coverage play, earned him a full-time starting nod. He proved to be an excellent fit as a sideline-to-sideline WILL linebacker in the 4-3, racking up 78 total tackles, 12 for a loss, three interceptions, and seven pass deflections in 13 games played. Milano’s starting teammate, Edmunds, was a combine star in 2018. The then-20-year-old measured in at a stout 6-foot-5 and 253-pounds, then recorded a 4.54 second 40-yard-dash and a117-inch broad jump. His freakish measurements, athletic testing, youthfulness, and impressive film earned him the status as the No. 16 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. Unlike Milano, Edmunds is far from undersized. Like his fellow teammate, he’s fast, rangy, and built for the modern NFL. Though his first season was up-and-down, he showed promise like we haven’t seen before; a giant linebacker that can run with defensive backs — the perfect fit for an NFL that wants to be faster in all aspects. He won Defensive Rookie of the Month in December, as he tallied 43 total tackles, two interceptions, four pass deflections, and a sack. The last of three, Joseph, a fifth-round pick this year, fits the athletic, rangy mold we are going for. He has kinks to work out in his game — specifically diagnosing plays, finishing tackles, and discipline — but he checks the athleticism box off emphatically. Though he didn’t test pre-draft, due to a hamstring injury, many described him as explosive and/or electric, as NFL’s Lance Zierlein said; https://buffalowdown.com/2019/06/11/buffalo-bills-have-built-a-trio-of-athletic-linebackers-fit-for-modern-football/
