‘Right now, the Bills have just two running backs – James Cook and Ty Johnson – on the roster. They’ll likely add at least three more players at the position to their offseason roster, and given that they usually dress three running backs on game days, at least one of those players should be expected to make the team. It’s not thought to be a great draft for running backs in the early rounds, but that’s fine for the Bills. They would be better off using a mid- or late-round pick on a running back who excels at converting short-yardage situations, as you mentioned, Brenda, and can also hold up in pass protection.’

Florida State's Keon Coleman would give Bills a potential big-play wideout
‘Instead of playing with him, there is a chance that Coleman could replace Diggs in the Bills’ offense. The Florida State product is considered a borderline first-round draft pick later this month – which means he figures to be in consideration for the Bills, should they stay at No. 28 overall. There is a chance that Coleman slips to the second round, although it would be a surprise if he was still on the board when the Bills are scheduled to pick at No. 60 overall.’
Local business partners of Stefon Diggs feel blow of trade
‘At the forefront, the partnership included online advertisements, television and radio commercials, billboards and many social media posts centering around Diggs. But, behind the scenes, Diggs made appearances and was personable with employees and clients at special events.’
Churchill: At new Bills stadium, the fleecing continues
‘A question: Given the extreme generosity of the agreement, which at the time was the largest cash subsidy for an NFL team in history, why didn’t the governor protect fans from PSL madness?’
Dion Dawkins admits Bills trading Stefon Diggs was a 'blind haymaker,' but OT backs Buffalo's decision
‘”The Stefon Diggs one, it was definitely a haymaker,” Dawkins said Friday, via NFL.com. “A blind haymaker. But, you know, I have learned that in this world, in this career that I’m in, that pieces shuffle and things move around all of the time. … For a player that has that type of impact and popularity and stat-based weight for their career, it just hits you in a different way. Like I said, I love my teammates and I am loyal to my organization. So I trust them. I think that they know what they’re doing. I know that they know what they’re doing. But we got (No.) 17, and when you got Josh (Allen), anything is possible, truly.”‘
Tom Brady on the next QB to win their first Super Bowl: 'I'd pick Josh'
‘Brady appeared on the DeepCut Podcast, where he sat in a barbershop chair and was asked questions. One such question was, who will be the “next quarterback to win a Super Bowl, that hasn’t won yet?”‘
The Bills needed New York State's approval for their PSL rollout, but who actually approved it?
‘The Erie County Stadium Corporation signed several agreements with the Bills, and their various LLC’s for this project, in March 2023. One of those agreements is the ‘Personal Seat License Marketing and Sales Agreement Bu and Between Erie County Stadium Corporation and Bills Stadium and Events Company, LLC (StadCo).’

Defensive end Chop Robinson ready for the NFL to learn his name
‘Robinson is coming off of a season where he earned first-team All-Big Ten Conference honors. He started 10 games, missing two due to injury, and he logged 15 total tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss and two forced fumbles.’
Buffalo Bills remain silent on death of OJ Simpson, who is on team’s Wall of Fame
‘Simpson’s former teams, including the NFL’s Bills, San Francisco 49ers and the University of Southern California, have remained silent since his death was announced. His jersey is retired at USC, where he won the Heisman Trophy in 1968, and Simpson’s name remains on the Wall of Fame at Buffalo’s Highmark Stadium, where he played nine seasons as No. 32 with the Bills (when it was known as Rich Stadium).’
Potential interior DL targets for Bills in 2024 NFL Draft
‘However, with the NFL Draft two weeks away, Beane could still add to the position to provide stability and a rookie on a cheap four-year deal that could develop as the years progress. Here are some potential targets the Bills could add with their 10 selections…’.
Can the Bills be tempted to risk a big trade in the draft for an uncertain reward?
‘Beane has established himself as one of the most aggressive general managers in the NFL, trading up in the first round four times in his six drafts with the Buffalo Bills. But Beane has never mortgaged an extra first-round pick to make a move, even when it was time to draft Josh Allen in 2018.’
Ball-hungry persona makes Florida State's Keon Coleman an interesting prospect for Buffalo Bills
‘“He has what we call that dog in him, where it’s his ball and nobody else’s. He plays bully ball out there. And if you go back and watch the LSU game and other opponents how he bullied some of these defensive backs, at the point of attack and off the line of scrimmage,” says CBS Sports HQ draft analyst Emory Hunt. “When the ball is in the air you can’t bump him off the route, he’s going to be physical to fight through that contact and he’s going to go up and get the football.”’

The Editorial Board: Bills are not alone in mistreating their own fans
‘That’s bad enough, but the Bills don’t want to tell their fans – the people who support the team, year in and year out – how much those licenses will cost. All the public knows so far is that that the right to be a season ticket in the most exclusive areas of the Bills stadium now under construction will cost up to an eye-popping $50,000 per seat. General admission seat licenses are expected to cost less. But what’s the hold up? Spill it now.’
O.J. Simpson, former Bills star running back later acquitted of murder, dead at age 76
‘O.J. Simpson, the former Buffalo Bills running back who had a Pro Football Hall of Fame career, but later became one of the nation’s most controversial figures, died Wednesday, his family announced. He was 76.’
Ryan O'Halloran: Lament O.J. Simpson's off-field behavior, but don't forget on-field career
‘Simpson wasn’t an automatic pro football star. He rushed for 697, 488 and 742 yards and a combined 12 touchdown runs in his first three Bills seasons. The Bills went 8-33-1 and rolled through three coaches. The franchise’s ineptness did him no favors. Playing from behind means a running back’s effectiveness is diminished.’
