Frank Gore reportedly set to join Bills for 15th NFL season on a one-year, $2 million deal
‘Gore might find it difficult to match his success from a season ago, though, considering just how bad of a run-blocking unit the Bills’ offensive line was a year ago. McCoy, typically one of the most productive running backs in football, averaged 3.2 yards per carry this past season after averaging 4.6 yards per carry during his first three seasons with the Bills.’

NFL free agency rumors: Frank Gore to sign with Bills on 1-year, $2M deal
‘Gore, who just finished a one-year stint in Miami, suffered a sprained foot in Week 15 and was ruled out for the rest of the season. He finished 2018 with 722 rushing yards, and it was the first time in his career he did not record a rushing touchdown.’
Report: Bills to sign C Mitch Morse
‘Some believe Morse is a more valuable free agent than Paradis because he’s two years younger. He’s basically been Kansas City’s starting center the past four years, since entering the league as a second round pick in 2015. He’s very athletic and considered an excellent pass protector. His main issue of concern is that he’s only played 18 games over the past two seasons, missing nine games in 2017 after twice spraining his foot and then five games last year after suffering a concussion. He’ll probably get less than Paradis, and at his age, if he can stay healthy, that could mean a much more valuable deal for whomever signs him.’

‘”The reported deal with the Bills was going to be a swap of picks. The Steelers would have gone from pick 20 to pick nine, plus there were other picks involved. Both sides, Buffalo and Pittsburgh were so close. Antonio made it clear he didn’t want to be there, so the Bills walked away.”‘
Reports: Buffalo Bills to sign C Mitch Morse to four-year, $44M deal
‘Now, if there’s one area that Morse struggles, he’ll get caught taking a false step or two every once in a while, and an athletic interior lineman can get the better of him. If there’s one area for him to improve, it’s as a run blocker.’

‘Gore, 35, most recently played for the Miami Dolphins. 2018 was his only season with the team. Prior to 2018, the 14-year veteran played three seasons with the Indianapolis Colts and 10 seasons with the San Francisco 49ers. Gore was drafted by the 49ers in the third round of the 2005 NFL Draft.’
Buffalo Bills agree to three-year deal with TE Tyler Kroft
‘The 6-foot-5, 252-pound player with long arms represents the prototypical size teams covet in tight ends, which is something the Bills have shown to value in their pickups over the last three offseasons, too. Kroft has demonstrated an ability in the red zone, to come down with contested catches, and to be a competent blocker for the offense, as well.’
