'It is unclear if Wright's flight from Chicago was canceled. Uber is available in Chicago but the ride-sharing service will not be allowed to operate in Buffalo until June 29, making Wright's mode of transportation rare for the region.'

'“Its what I’m fighting for everyday and whatever spot needs to be taken or filled, so I’m going to just keep working and see what happens. They (coaches) haven’t told me anything I just know that nothing is given to anybody and I just have to compete for everything that I’m doing. Like right now I’m doing a little bit of everything but I’ve been mainly at tackle. So I’ve been taking a lot of reps at left and right tackle.”'

'Good news for Bills fans is Jeremy Maclin's skill set of speed and being a down field threat are already filled by Mike Wallace and Breshard Perriman. Eric Decker could be a better fit as an inside guy and a red zone target.'

'“If LeSean McCoy was in charge of everything – I mean financials, playing time – this deal would have got done," Garafolo said on NFL Network. "McCoy was telling people this morning it was going to get done but, didn’t get completed. It’s a possibility it has a lot do with financials here.”'

'"We're glad Uber got Shareece to his team workout and we're impressed by his commitment to the Bills," said Uber New York Spokesperson Alix Anfang. "But starting June 29th, Bills players – along with Buffalo residents – will also be able to start a trip in Buffalo."'

'“For me it was no question that I had to make it here,” said Wright. “I actually had a redeye booked and I ended up changing that flight and taking an earlier flight to the 2:30 [p.m.] flight just to give myself some margin for error just in case something happened.”'

'The Buffalo Bills have named Kade Rannings, Phoebe Schecter, Lonnie Teasley and Byron Thomas as the team’s Bill Walsh Coaching Fellowship participants for the 2017 Buffalo Bills Training Camp presented by Connors & Ferris at St. John Fisher College in Pittsford, NY.'

'"The best decision they made was bringing back Tyrod," an exec said. "Losing [Mike] Gillislee does hurt a little bit. LeSean McCoy had a great year, but it would have been nice to give him more of a breather once in a while, and that becomes harder. Their draft was solid. [Tre'Davious] White, [Zay] Jones and [Dion] Dawkins, everyone agrees they will be pretty good players. Getting [Nathan] Peterman in the fifth was pretty good value. That made sense to me."'

'The point is, that offense, with Maclin, unless it’s devastated by injury, could easily be viewed as in the top half of the league this coming season.'
