'A good addition': Why wider receiver Curtis Samuel will be a Swiss Army knife for the Buffalo Bills
‘Beane likes Samuel’s chances of making an impact and thinks he will play a big role in what the Bills are trying to do moving forward. Beane was still in Carolina when the Panthers selected Samuel in the second round of the 2017 NFL Draft. Samuel has lived up to the expectations since being a day two pick, with 317 catches, 3383 receiving yards, 715 rushing yards, and 29 touchdowns. Samuel is a Swiss Army knife and his familiarity with offensive coordinator Joe Brady played a big role in Beane’s decision to bring him to Buffalo.’

Bills hope new DE Casey Toohill is just scratching surface of potential
‘“I love that characterization,” Toohill said by phone from Virginia. “Honestly, in terms of my athletic career, ever since I was young, I’ve always kind of come on a little bit later.

I think, as I go forward in the NFL, I still feel great and I feel like I’ll keep improving.”‘

Bills expected third-round comp pick in draft, but received a fourth. The GM isn't happy.

I think us and San Francisco, we got a raw deal,” Beane said, adding the 49ers received a lesser comp pick as well. “I don’t want to give a full thing, but we had separate Zooms with the league trying to go through how it was calculated because by even their accounts, as we were checking with them through the year, we clearly had a third-rounder. It was a major blow because we had planned for it and San Fran felt the same way.”’

‘”To say we haven’t had success or Josh hasn’t had success, I think would be kind of narrow-minded,” the head coach said (via NFL.com). “It’s hard to win in the NFL, so you kind of regroup every year, and you take it one game at a time. But we’re all looking for Josh to really be that face of the franchise, like he’s been, and continuing to evolve, like he’s always done.”‘

‘”Yes, we were glad that the cap got to where it did, but we were still in the high 40s (millions of dollars) over that we needed to clear just to get cap compliant into the league year, much less be able to spend, and we still have to hold money for our draft picks, replacement costs, practice squad, all those things.

Bills Season Ticket holders share concerns with PSL prices for new stadium
‘”The seats were very expensive, not even including what your Season Tickets cost. If you were going to finance it, it adds an additional almost $12,000 on to the PSL. It was $20,000 per-seat, so it came up to $52,000 if you were going to finance it. Then the season tickets ended up being a 25% increase over what I’m paying now, so it would have been about $63,000 for the PSL, and then my first year of season tickets. And they couldn’t guarantee the tickets would not be going up.”‘
