Watch: Bills’ Sean McDermott helps deliver scholarship to William & Mary player
‘“That’s huge. Especially coming from a walk-on that went in there and I wore number 83 as a defensive back and that wasn’t really a popular number back in the day. But you know, it’s a great honor, especially at a school like William & Mary, where it’s not just athletics, it’s the combination of a student athlete, both academically and athletically,” McDermott said.’
Bills Sign Milano To 2-Year Extension In Cap-Saving Move
‘The extension locks up a six-year starter — who is coming off his first All-Pro season — through 2026, and just as importantly helps ease the Bills’ immediate payroll restrictions. Buffalo is still projected to be about $11 million over the cap, leaving general manager Brandon Beane more work to do before he can begin filling several anticipated roster holes for the three-time AFC East defending champions.’

‘Milano and Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt are the only players in the NFL with 25 or more tackles for loss and multiple interceptions since the start of the 2021 season. The Bills have allowed an average of 17.4 points per game in that span, the fewest in the league.’

‘The 28-year-old had his best season in 2022, being named to his first Pro Bowl and getting his first All-Pro selection.

Opinion: 2023 State of the Bills: Safety
‘There’s no doubt he’s played like that for the Bills, and is one of the top players in the league at his spot. But Poyer will be 32 in April and injuries have mounted, including missing four games this season. At some point the Bills have to start getting younger there. So it’s a tough position for them to balance.’
Opinion: 2023 State of the Bills: Cornerback
‘Jackson was the target of a lot of criticism from fans last year. He was often essentially serving as the team’s No. 1 corner, going against some of the top receivers in the league. That’s a tall task, and the Bills did get beaten by opponents’ top wide receivers a little too often. But Jackson is much better playing second-fiddle opposite a true number one guy. That couldn’t happen last year since the team did not have Tre’Davious White available until late November.’

GM for a Day: Complete road map for the Buffalo Bills' offseason
‘Let’s start with the cold, hard truth: The Bills have fallen behind in the AFC arms race. Yes, they are to be commended for navigating an unimaginable set of circumstances last season and still going 13-3 in the regular season, but they once again failed to advance beyond the divisional round of the postseason, getting outclassed by the Cincinnati Bengals at home.’
