'I was always put in the back seat': New Cowboys CB Kaiir Elam confident he'll succeed after trade from Bills
‘”Coming in to Buffalo, I was a kid that just wanted to improve and learn and really show off my talents. But I was always put in the back seat,” Elam said on a conference call Monday. “So I continued to put my head down and work, and [I] continued to make plays throughout the season and in the playoffs and stuff like that. This time around [in 2024], I got less and less opportunities. I just took everything I learned from there and all the baggage and the improvements I felt like I needed to make and just packaged it up and worked on it every day. So I don’t really see it as a negative. I really just see it as a growing opportunity for me to go shine somewhere else.”‘

Buffalo Bills Community Benefits Oversight Committee calls for more transparency, seeking to rebuild public opinion
‘Reverend Mark Blue, chairman of the committee, reflected on the recent challenges and acknowledged that communication could have been handled more effectively. “We need to communicate, communicate, communicate, and sometimes a message sent isn’t the best received,” Blue said. “The Bills were well within their rights to speak about that statement because that’s in the Community Benefits Agreement, but it’s just how it was served up.”’

New addition Joshua Palmer brings separation ability to Bills' WR corps
‘“I take a lot of pride in being able to run the entire route tree,” the 25-year-old Palmer said. “Being able to be outside and inside, the ability to stop, the ability to go deep, the ability to win in different situations.’
Analysis: Brandon Beane taking a big risk by signing two suspended players
‘The media room inside the Bills’ fieldhouse has seen the scene for several peculiar press conferences over the years, but Beane’s announcement Friday that both Hoecht and Ogunjobi would be sidelined for six games immediately moves way up the list of “is this really happening?” moments. Usually, when a general manager steps up to the microphone to talk about his free-agent class, he’s all smiles. Beane’s tone and demeanor were far from that Friday – for good reason.’
Bills moving forward with suspended DT signing seems like a questionable decision
‘No, it’s not, and the situation has put the Bills in a challenging spot because the No. 1 area Beane needed to upgrade was the defensive line. In that effort, he has done so with a former superstar in Joey Bosa who has struggled to stay healthy for half of his nine-year career, and two players who won’t be able to play until Buffalo’s seventh game.’
