Buffalo Bills football player comes to the Glen
‘Buffalo Bills offensive tackle, Dion Dawkins is regularly seen as a blocker on the football field. He appeared as the Grand Marshal on Sunday, June 22, to give drivers the command to start their engines. At a press conference before the race, Dawkins described the event having a unity and community connection and felt that as a Bills player, it helps him represent the team beyond Orchard Park.’

Meet Bills rookie Deone Walker, a 6-foot-7 'freak athlete' who grew, fell to Round 4 and may still explode
‘“I’ve just got to trust that I’m going to get better every day,” the rookie said. “I’ve got to trust that I’m going to get back to, or be even better than, how I played in my 2023 season. They really took a chance on me here. They believe in me, and I’m going to show them what I can do.”’
Bills Mailbag: Why has Amari Cooper remained unsigned this deep into free agency?
‘Trading a third-round pick for an established receiver is the type of move I’d expect from a team chasing a Super Bowl. It looked like the right type of move. In retrospect, the Bills might need to evaluate their pro scouting setup. Cooper gets credit for playing through a wrist injury that might have ended another player’s season. But he remains unsigned, and that tells me all 32 teams must believe Cooper has lost a step.’

Ryan O'Halloran: 49ers, Bengals lead list of NFL bounce-back candidates
‘A month before training camp, I see the Bills, Kansas City and Baltimore in the AFC and Philadelphia, Washington and Detroit in the NFC as playoff locks. That leaves eight spots for the other 26 teams.’
Downstate lawmaker calls out concessions pricing at Highmark Stadium
‘They say the cost of food and beverages at these publicly subsidized venues are some of the highest prices in the country.’
White returns to Buffalo as battle for cornerback spot heats up
‘White re-signing brings a sort of full-circle moment to Buffalo. Not only in White returning, but also in him re-signing in the same offseason that the Bills used a first-round pick on cornerback Maxwell Hairston, whom they hope is the future (just like White was back in 2017). The return to the Bills for White comes at a different stage of his career. He’s able to bring experience and perspective to a defense that has undergone changes, while competing for a starting role.’
2025 New Orleans Saints opponent profile: Buffalo Bills
‘One success the Bill will hope to carry on is their league-leading turnover differential from the 2024 campaign of +24. The Bills took the ball away the second most times of any NFL team, securing 16 interceptions and 16 fumbles while only turning the ball over eight times. The eight total giveaways tied the single season NFL record with the 2019 Saints since at least 1933.’

Buffalo Bills cornerback Christian Benford finds new ways to give back to community
‘“There’s always more stuff to learn, always more stuff to do,” Benford said. “And I just pray to God to give me wisdom and guide me and direction that he wants me to do. I asked him, like, ‘What do you want me to do? How? What works do you want me to do for you?’ And there’s more and more on my plate. And no, God’s not going to give you too much that you can’t handle.”‘
Snow shovelers need not apply: Clearing out the new Bills stadium should be easier
‘The canopy and several other key elements of the new venue may eliminate the need for the team to enlist armies of snow shovelers to clear the stands when a storm hits during the days leading up to a Bills home game.’
Erik Brady: Stew Barber was a singular figure in Bills history, in multiple ways
‘Barber’s last season was O.J. Simpson’s first, in 1969. When Barber retired as a player, he worked in private industry before coaching in the World Football League. Then he came back to the Bills as a college scout. In 1978 he was named vice president for administration, a wide-ranging role that included player contracts. He often clashed with Bills coach Chuck Knox over those. “He and Chuck were not the best of friends,” Vicki says. “Chuck would override a lot of the things Stew wanted to do. It was almost a relief when all that was over and he didn’t have to deal with that stress anymore.”‘
With summer showing signs of football in the distance, what is going on in the NFL?
‘The Bills are going to have to play with a new chip on their shoulder, and play angrier this year even when they are doing well. They can’t be satisfied with another strong season, even if they are near the top of the AFC come playoff time it will not matter to a fanbase that is still starving for a Super Bowl that didn’t get one from their last great group in the 90’s. It’s time for Josh Allen to separate himself and become higher than Jim Kelly was, a Super Bowl winning quarterback that takes Buffalo over the top of the mountain to the promised land.’
Samuel is healthy, hungry entering his 2nd year with the Bills
‘”Last year I knew that I could do better. I did feel like the time that I did have the ball in my hands, I did a pretty good job, but I always hold myself to high expectations and I feel like I can bring more to this offense,” Samuel said.’

New Bills safety Darrick Forrest acclimates to team
‘“He’s been around the league, so it’s not like he’s new to it,” Danna said. “Studies hard, asks good questions, great attitude, positive outlook – he’s just a guy that you enjoy being around. He’s been a positive addition to our group.”’
