'Jordan Johnson is a Western New York native and product of the University at Buffalo. He finished his career with the sixth-most rushing yards in school history.'

'Cordy Glenn has the left tackle spot locked down, but the competition at right tackle will be interesting to watch. Jordan Mills will have to hold off rookie Dion Dawkins. Cyrus Kouandjio played well in 2016, but his recent offseason incident leaves many questions about his availability this season. Considering the questions surrounding Kouandjio, the Bills keep Michael Ola as a fifth option.'

'"He's a leader," Ollison said, echoing much of the analyst-speak heard after the Peterman pick. "He's smart, not scared to lead, never afraid to make the big play.'

'Williams participated in the University at Buffalo Pro Day on March 15 in front of about 10 NFL scouts. He then was invited to a local tryout hosted by the Bills in April and subsequently received his minicamp invitation.'

'Harasymiak noted that there were a few games Collins would have liked to have had back but he noted that, “We wouldn’t have won as many games as we did without Dan. Hopefully, he’ll show the Bills what he can do and will be accurate. And we’ll hear some good news."'

'The 30-second video, "It Starts With ONE" is narrated by McDermott and ties back to the 'One Buffalo' brand, which links the Pegula's two professional sports franchises, the Bills and the Sabres.'

'Not long after the draft ended the Bills got to work on filling out their roster with 13 undrafted free agents. Here is the list of players including a local University at Buffalo product.'

'This is the list of Bills general manager candidates who have interviewed with owners Terry and Kim Pegula. Below is a thumbnail sketch of the credentials of each of the candidates. This list will be updated as interviews are confirmed by Buffalobills.com.'

'The coach gets to look at him with a fresh set of eyes that says all of the spectacular plays Watkins made at Clemson and those flashes of brilliance he has shown as a pro mean nothing right now. What matters is that Watkins is, once again, healing from one of the double-digit injuries he has had since his rookie season. Therefore, it didn't make any sense to McDermott that the Bills pick up a fifth-year option on his contract that would have been guaranteed against injury.'

'Cut(s): Cyrus Kouandjio, Seantrel Henderson, Greg Pyke, Voghens Larrieux, Jac’Que Polite, Michael Ola.'

'Beane, 40, has been a member of the Panthers organization for 20 years, including the last six with new Bills head coach Sean McDermott. Beane was promoted to assistant GM behind Dave Gettleman in 2015 and has even served as an interim GM for the Panthers for 10 games in 2012.'
