Bills safety Micah Hyde withdraws from Pro Bowl

‘Hyde suffered a concussion in the Bills’ 10-3 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in their wild-card playoff game Jan. 7. A second-team All-Pro selection, he was the AFC’s leading vote-getter at strong safety after finishing 2017 with 82 tackles, 13 passes defensed and five interceptions — a total that tied for fifth in the NFL.’

5 players in the Super Bowl who could interest the Bills in 2018

‘LB Nigel Bradham: A former fourth-round pick of the Bills in 2012, Bradham was let go when Rex Ryan’s defense took over Orchard Park and it appeared he was not a fit. His rookie contract was over, too. In 2016, Bradham signed for two years with the Eagles and has been productive. He’s going to be a free agent at the end of the season and Buffalo’s stellar secondary made up for glaring needs in the front-seven throughout the year.’

Bills Free Agency: Kyle Williams’ decision will loom large for defensive line

‘Williams’ contract expiring is only secondary to his situation. It starts with just knowing if he wants to play next year or not. General Manager Brandon Beane has said Williams can still play if he chooses. If Williams does want to return, then the question will be “what price is fair for both parties on a one year deal?”’

Joe B: 5 Buffalo Bills things to watch at the 2018 Senior Bowl

‘On to the quarterbacks… there are two big draws now that Mason Rudolph will not participate due to an injury: Wyoming’s Josh Allen and Oklahoma’s Baker Mayfield — and both are on the same team, and the same practice field all week long.’

Hyde out of Pro Bowl

‘Eric Wood is the first alternate at center if Pittsburgh’s Maurkice Pouncey or Oakland’s Rodney Hudson elect to withdraw.’

5 things Bills fans need to know about the Senior Bowl

‘The Senior Bowl has eight quarterbacks who will participate in this week’s practices and game. Among them is Heisman Trophy winner Baker Mayfield from Oklahoma and Wyoming’s Josh Allen. Both are widely projected as first-round prospects. But there are a handful of other signal callers who will draw attention too.’

Bills Today: Bills bolster defense in PFF mock draft

‘PFF projects the Bills first pick in 2018 is LB, Roquan Smith, out of the University of Georgia. If Smith slips this far down, it seems like a steal for a team who’s starving for a middle LB. Many draft gurus, including Mel Kiper Jr. and Matt Miller, have Smith being a top-10 pick.’

Bills’ connections to teams in Super Bowl LII

‘Jason Peters, offensive tackle. Joined the Bills as an undrafted free agent in 2004 and spent five years before signing a lucrative free agent contract with the Eagles. Is on season-ending injured reserve after tearing knee ligaments in an October game against Washington.’

Patriots vs. Eagles Super Bowl LII: Which former Buffalo Bills are Super Bowl bound?

‘Ronald Darby was expected to be the Bills’ No. 1 cornerback after Stephon Gilmore left in free agency. That never came to fruition as Buffalo sent the cornerback to the Eagles for wide receiver Jordan Matthews and Philadelphia’s third round pick in the 2018 draft. Darby missed eight games after dislocating his ankle in the Eagles’ season opener, but he’s played very well for Philadelphia since returning from the injury.’
