Roundtable: What to expect from the Bills' cutdown day
‘Linebacker Jimmy Ciarlo. The Bills’ depth at linebacker isn’t particularly strong, and the need for players who can contribute on special teams is a big one. Ciarlo checks both of those boxes. He’s looked good in the preseason and has the leadership qualities you’d expect from a former team captain at Army.’
Michael Hoecht used Bills' preseason finale to prepare for suspension and guide young players
‘“He’s a rock star,” Ciarlo said of Hoecht. “He’s one of those guys who just fights day in and day out. … To be able to line up next to him, it’s almost a comfort, in a way.”’
Stadium work a learning experience for Bills Hall of Famer Thurman Thomas
‘His construction company, 34 Group, is in its third year of being on-site of the more than $2 billion project in Orchard Park to assist in general contracting eff orts and doing some of the work on the interior of the building, set to open for the 2026 NFL season.’
Bills may re-sign DT for a fourth time: Here's who may be released if that happens
‘For most of his career, Phillips has been a mediocre player. At 340 pounds he is someone who can hold up in the middle of the line and take on double teams as a backup to DaQuan Jones. And once in a while he’ll make a splashy play such as the sack he made late in the AFC Championship Game on Patrick Mahomes last January which was his only one across the 93 pass rush snaps he had in the 10 games he played after rejoining the Bills last November.’
Projecting the Bills 53-man roster ahead of cutdown day
‘Anticipating a Curtis Samuel trade that leaves Buffalo with five WRs on the roster, including Shavers, who cracks his first opening day roster after starring all summer. With plenty of WR-needy teams around the league, it’d be a surprise if nobody wanted to bet on Samuel’s upside, but Buffalo has seen enough of the downside to move on. Well the mantra has been ‘everybody eats,’ Buffalo should feature its top three receivers as heavily as any season in recent memory.’
Injuries at cornerback, suspensions complicate Bills final 53-man roster projection
‘Shavers earned a roster spot and his special teams capabilities will earn him a jersey on game days. Moore is in a position where he would be Samuel for a jersey on game day because he doesn’t offer special teams help in coverage or returns.’
Former Michigan State TE, NFL journeyman released by Bills

Defensive tackle Jordan Phillips returns for 4th stint with the Bills

Thurman Thomas On Buffalo Bills’ Super Bowl Aspirations: ‘We Have A Window Of About Three Years’
‘”I think our window has not closed yet,” says Thomas in a one-on-one interview. “I think we still have a window of about three years, I really do and it’s all because of Josh, because I think Brandon Beane has done something remarkable. Sure, a GM is going to miss on some picks that they probably should have taken or cut or waived or whatever. The culture that he has brought to this football team, the type of players that he has brought to this football team over the years, I think that has made a wonderful adjustment in the organization and with the players.”‘

Bills face immediate backlash after signing veteran defender
‘”The Bills made it clear their mission this offseason was to pour resources into fixing their defensive line. Jordan Phillips signing on August 24th and being guaranteed a spot on the 53-man roster seems like, at least on the surface, an admission of failure in some regard.”‘
