‘When all was said and done, the Bengals quarterback said Bills fans raised more than $400,000 for his charity. He told Bleacher Report’s Tyler Dunne in early August that he planned to do something at a local hospital when the Bills and Bengals face-off in the preseason on August 26.’

Rookies performing well for Bills’ defense
‘“It’s been a great camp,” Frazier said in Tuesday’s press conference. “For the most part, we’ve had good weather. It’s been a good camp, we’re excited about the opportunity this week where we’ll get a chance to play our one’s a little bit longer, so we can continue to get an evaluation of our roster, which is key to training camp and this time of the year. [It’s] an exciting time for us.”’
AJ McCarron finally going to play quarterback in Cleveland — for the Buffalo Bills
‘The Browns had a deal in place to obtain McCarron from the Cincinnati Bengals at last year’s NFL trade deadline. McCarron was in his fourth season as the Bengals’ backup to Andy Dalton, and the trade would have put him into the starting slot for QB-needy Cleveland and his former Cincinnati offensive coordinator Hue Jackson, the Browns’ head coach. Cleveland botched the technical details of the trade, and it didn’t go through.’

Ramsey: Bills’ Allen is ‘trash,’ blasts Flacco, Big Ben, Ryan
‘”I think Allen is trash,” Ramsey said. “I don’t care what nobody say. He’s trash. And it’s gonna show too. That’s a stupid draft pick to me. We play them this year, and I’m excited as hell. I hope he’s their starting quarterback. He played at Wyoming. Every time they played a big school — like, they played Iowa State, which is not a big school in my opinion because I went to Florida State, and he threw five interceptions, and they lost by a couple touchdowns or something like that. He never beat a big school. If you look at his games against big schools, it was always hella interceptions, hella turnovers.’
Bills rookie Josh Allen responds after Jalen Ramsey calls him a ‘trash’ NFL quarterback
‘There is healthy skepticism whether Allen will ever approach anything resembling a franchise player. At issue: Even though the team traded up from No. 12 to No. 7 to draft him, Allen’s college numbers at Wyoming were pedestrian; he completed just 56.3 percent of his passes last season, ranked 72nd in the country in passing efficiency, and struggled against better teams.’
Jalen Ramsey’s QB scouting report: Josh Allen ‘is trash’
‘Ramsey’s scouting report in Wednesday’s GQ interview went far beyond Allen, and not everyone was criticized as harshly as the rookie. For example, Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady do not, in fact, suck, according to Ramsey. Nor does Titans’ Marcus Mariota — a “great quarterback,” he said — or Browns’ Tyrod Taylor, who “does not make mistakes.”’
Bills wrap-up training camp still working through quarterback competition
‘The only thing that’s changed is that Josh Allen ended camp by primarily working with the second-team offense. He started with the third-team. Allen, once again, was the second quarterback in on Wednesday, the last practice before the team’s preseason game against the Browns, which is a good indication that he will see the field with that group Friday night in Cleveland.’
Bills’ McDermott ends camp at St. John Fisher on a high note
‘McDermott claims he’s a believer in getting out of Orchard Park for a few weeks so the team can bond together. He said even though they run into situations like Tuesday where practice was postponed for almost eight hours, he’s still OK with the overall experience, “I am very much so and nothing has changed to sway me from this camp. We had a little bit of rain yesterday, but for the most part in two years, the weather up here has been great. We’ve gotten our work done in the morning for the most part and then we get a pop up thunderstorm every once in a while, which all of that I have to factor in going away to camp.’
Bills claim DE Havili off waivers from Chargers

Peterman: The Bills’ quarterback competition is a business
‘”I thought it was a good start,” Peterman said with Howard Simon and Jeremy White at training camp on Wednesday. “Obviously there’s a few things I thought I could have done better, but it was a good start. It was the first preseason game, [we have] a long ways to go, but just trying to build off of everything.”‘
