‘“I would just say, look, we’re putting a team together and sometimes it’s hard to see, in some of those cases, how that piece fits right now. That will work itself out over time. That’s part of what the competition piece of that is. I’ve said before, we’ve got a lot of work to do. There’s been some good players added in our division, and I think those teams feel like they’ve improved their football team as well.”’

Winners and losers from Buffalo’s 2019 draft
‘Are Shady’s days in Buffalo numbered?’
Bills’ draft pick Devin Singletary on knack for scoring TDs: ‘You might have to ask God on that one’
‘“I believe my size doesn’t matter because there’s multiple guys in the past who showed that size doesn’t matter in the league,” he said. “And I feel I’m going to be able to do the same thing. I’m going to be able to play in the league, and my size definitely won’t play a factor.”’
Maiorana: Bills made the right call declining Shaq Lawson’s fifth-year option
‘In Sean McDermott’s 4-3 defense, Lawson has been used primarily as an edge rusher, and he simply hasn’t given the Bills enough production.’
Why Sean McDermott was meant to coach Ed Oliver and how he’ll transform Bills defense
‘“The closer you got, the more you felt the quickness, the more you felt the power, the more you felt the juice; and really more than anything the competitive nature of this young man,” McDermott said. “He wants it and that hunger is a critical piece that we look for.”’
Buffalo Bills’ move up for Cody Ford a top-10 2019 NFL Draft trade, says CBS Sports
‘This overpay wasn’t nearly as bad as the ones for D.K. Metcalf and Greedy Williams, and considering the Cody Ford fills a big need for the Bills on the offensive line and that he should have also been a first-round pick, it’s worth paying a little more than they should have to go get him. If you want to rank any of the last three trades higher despite the pick value not being there, I wouldn’t mind at all.’
Post-NFL Draft Buffalo Bills game-by-game predictions | Playoffs on line in Week 17?
‘The Bills and Jets will be battling for one Wild Card spot in Week 17. Buffalo makes up for their Week 1 loss by defeating the Jets at New Era Field and claiming a playoff spot in the AFC. The celebration lasts well into the night at New Era Field.’
Bills hope new ‘Tailgate Village’ stops fans from destroying tables
‘“We know we have great fans. We know the vast majority of our fans, they do behave well. They’re passionate, they’re loyal and they’re not causing issues, but there are a few who make a big stink out there — a few knuckleheads who wreck it,” Major said.’
Buffalo Bills look to address ‘knuckleheads’ among fans with specialized tailgate policy
‘“This whole thing evolved from feedback,” Major said. “We heard from the bus and limo companies, ‘Hey, I don’t know if I want to bring a bus here again.’”’
Bills play easy slate of quarterbacks in 2019
‘Sean McDermott’s defense could see as many as eight first or second-year quarterbacks this season. The veterans they’ll play aren’t much to look at either.’
Joe B: Buffalo Bills post-draft breakdown — Defense
‘Hughes is the poster child for the argument of sacks being an entirely overrated measure of just how effective and impactful a defensive end can be. Hughes had a total of seven sacks in 16 games in 2018, but for the second straight season, Hughes was one of my top-graded players on the roster.’
Bills Today: Why Buffalo, New York and Miami all drafted defensive linemen
‘The trio of talented defensive tackles added to the division in the 2019 Draft collectively averaged a tackle for loss per game across a combined 121 games played in college. It could be coincidence but the stylistic similarities in the Bills, Jets and Dolphins 2019 first round picks send a clear message to Tom Brady and the Patriots in that they want to wreck the line of scrimmage, get into the backfield and apply heat in the face of Tom Brady.’
