My View: Are Personal Seat Licenses really needed?
‘I am bracing myself, like all ticket holders, for the personal seat license fees. It’s hard to believe that an organization like the Buffalo Bills, whose fan base is blue collar, would impose such fees high enough that their fans wouldn’t be able to afford their tickets. The Pegulas and the NFL are already receiving $600 million from New York State taxpayers toward the new stadium. Do they really need to charge a PSL? It saddens me that hundreds of longtime ticket holders may no longer be able to afford a Sunday game, cheering on their team, in a beautiful new stadium.’

Bills training camp questions: How quickly can Dalton Kincaid make a significant impact on Bills' offense?
‘“Just physically, it’s tough,” said Ertz, who was drafted 35th overall by Philadelphia in 2013. “You’re used to blocking people that are maybe going on to be lawyers or high school teachers. These guys are grown men who could be 30 years old and you’re 22 or 23 years old. So when I came into the NFL, I could run routes. I could catch the ball. But we were a run-first offense. It took a little bit for me to acclimate to the demands of the position for the Eagles at the time.”’

Bills training camp questions: What should be expected from Tre'Davious White?
‘“I think he’s worked extremely, extremely hard, which I don’t take for granted,” head coach Sean McDermott said. “Knowing him, knowing his level of commitment, his level of dedication, being the player that he knows he wants to be – and I say that with or without the injury that he went through – he’s just a young man that’s dedicated and committed and wants to be great. He puts in the work. He is one of our hardest workers. So, I think he’s had a good spring and will continue to work this offseason and this summer to get ready for training camp.”’
