‘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.’

Not so far a kick: Los Angeles soccer venue helps shape Buffalo Bills stadium plans
‘Over the last couple of years, several executives from the Bills and their stadium development team, including their colleagues from the consulting group Legends and the architectural design firm Populous, visited venues across North America and Europe.

Bobby Wagner? Adam Thielen? Thumbs up, thumbs down on these 8 released players for Buffalo Bills
‘The Bills won’t likely have the cap space to commit to Tremaine Edmunds after his career year in 2022. With no legitimate options currently on their roster, Wagner makes sense as a perfect stop-gap for 1-2 seasons. Wagner was all over the field for the Rams last season and finished the year with 140 total tackles, 10 tackles for loss, 10 QB hits and six sacks.’
Stefon Diggs expresses anger over Bills’ early playoff exits: ‘Doesn’t make sense’
‘“I think it’s more execution than anything,” Diggs said. “S–t is small little pieces on why s–t is not going right. You can rack your brain, like we got the players. We got the plays. Why s–t ain’t coming together?”’
Sean McDermott calls W&M time 'one of the best experiences a young man could ask for'
‘Laycock recalled McDermott as “like a coach on the field. When he finished, he stayed with me for a year and coached with us. We gave him responsibilities, and he was one of those kind of guys who worked his butt off, was detail-oriented. He was a pretty serious person. He had a good personality, but he was serious about it.’
Opinion: 2023 State of the Bills: Linebacker
‘Edmunds can be the poster child for what general manager Brandon Beane has always preached they want to do. Draft, develop, retain. Two of those three have happened. But it’s going to be tough to retain his services at that price, especially with the salary cap situation the team is in right now.’

Free agency preview: If Tremaine Edmunds moves on, where to look at linebacker?
‘“It’s hard to say because we’re still trying to get a feel for their market, as I’m sure their camp is doing, too,” Beane said last week at the NFL scouting combine on Edmunds and Poyer. “So, I don’t have a great answer for you. We’re going to look at everything, we’ll keep an open mind. And in a perfect world, you keep them both. But it’s a business and they got to do what’s right for them as well, and so do we. But, you know, I feel like if we could work it out, both would want to be back, if we can make it fit.”’
Ryan O'Halloran: The Bills' big swing? Trading for Jalen Ramsey or Justin Simmons
‘Trade Proposal No. 1: The Bills trade second-year cornerback Kaiir Elam and next month’s second-round pick (No. 59) to the Rams for Ramsey. Trade Proposal No. 2: The Bills trade defensive lineman Ed Oliver and next month’s first-round pick (No. 27) to the Broncos for Simmons.’
Five free agents the Buffalo Bills should sign and why
‘The Bills would need a veteran to come right in and the 27-year-old Edwards, on the heels of a great season when he played 94% of Philadelphia’s snaps and was in on 159 tackles which was tied for seventh-most in the NFL would be a great idea.’
Do the Bills have a Stefon Diggs problem? Micah Hyde says team isn’t panicking about WR’s frustration
‘“He wants the rock and he’s a competitor. I feel like if he was not complaining and we lost that game and we all set out into the sunset and into the offseason, that would probably be a problem,” Hyde said. “As a locker room and as an organization, we understand Diggs. We know the type of person he is. Nobody’s panicking. Nobody’s worried about that. I know Diggs personally and I know he’s a competitor and we talk junk in practice every day. That’s just how he is.”’
Buffalo Bills among 11 teams present for Odell Beckham Jr.’s private workout on Friday
‘With 10 other teams in attendance at Beckham Jr.’s workout, it’s possible that Buffalo will find themselves unable to get into a bidding war for the receiver’s services. If his market does not heat up following the workout, however, the Bills could be in play for Beckham Jr.’
Salary Cap-Squeezed Bills Handcuffed Entering Free Agency
‘The Bills have to first start cutting players or restructuring salaries before they can even begin filling their numerous needs, which will include the likelihood of having to replace long-time defensive fixtures Edmunds and Poyer. Edmunds’ anticipated departure leaves a huge hole in the middle of Buffalo’s defense, while Poyer was part of a veteran defensive secondary that included starters Micah Hyde and Tre’Davious White.’
Sass Trades Goal Crease To Oversee Bills New Stadium Project
