‘When Kelvin Benjamin was released last season Jones was asked to step up into a leadership role in a very young receivers room. By all accounts, he did exactly that. Cam Phillips, who spent most of last season on the Bills’ practice squad said Jones has had a big impact on him as he navigated the water in his rookie season.’

Tre’Davious White dishes on perceived slights, Vontae Davis’ halftime retirement, what fuels the Bills’ secondary
‘When I was shadowing guys, I sort of lost focus of the whole defense and just got into one-on-one battles. That’s never good, because you leave your teammates out to dry sometimes. It’s a selfish way to play, because you’re going out there and you just want to dominate this one guy when overall there’s a defensive scheme that you have to follow. Some plays, I would get into a battle with a guy and just try to take him out, and I’d forget about there’s a whole team concept. Going into this year, whenever I’m trailing guys, I won’t let that happen.’
Jim Kelly gets good news on latest scans
‘”You won’t believe how many times I told my wife, ‘No, do not put that out there. No, don’t do that. No, Erin, don’t do that,'” Kelly told The News. “Because I don’t want everybody knowing my business and I’ve always been that way. But I do understand now, by being a Christian, how important it is to have people praying for you and how important it is when I travel to hear people tell me that they are praying for me. I mean, I’m not talking a couple of people. I’m talking thousands. I mean, I go through the airport and people come up to me and say, ‘Jim, we’re praying for you.’ “‘

Jim Kelly has reason to celebrate after latest scan shows he’s cancer free
‘Last year, Jim Kelly had major surgery on his upper jaw to treat a recurrence of oral squamous-cell carcinoma, which was first diagnosed in May 2013. Last September, he had reconstructive surgery so that dentures could be placed and in February he had back surgery to remove a cyst that was pushing against his spinal cord.’
The Athletic names Buffalo Bills as potential trade partner for Jadeveon Clowney
‘The Bills would have the need and the money to pursue a player of Jadeveon Clowney’s caliber, but the price of a trade might make it a tough fit. Extending Jerry Hughes’ contract this week gave Buffalo some long-term stability at defensive end, but it’s still far from a strength of this team. It doesn’t seem like Brandon Beane’s style to trade a first-round pick, but it would be tough to argue if he made an exemption for a player of Clowney’s caliber.’

Latest cancer scan on Bills great Kelly clean
‘”Honestly, I don’t know how he does it,” she wrote. “Not just the MRI’s and scans and the waiting and wondering and worrying … but the everyday stuff. The pain that never seems to go away. All the other issues that go along with having been through cancer treatments (if you know, you know). Just all of it.”‘
Capaccio: Bills should hope Allen’s jump in second year mirrors Mitch Trubisky’s
‘All Trubisky had to do was not screw it up, and he didn’t. But he also led an offense that finished with the ninth most points scored per-game and finished 14th overall in passing yards per-play. Trubisky was, by no means, in the upper-echelon of NFL quarterbacks last year, but he was good enough to complement a great defense, and productive enough to have the offense rely on him when needed.’
Erie County sheriff’s deputy charged for roughing up Bills fan
‘As the deputy arrived at court, a large entourage of what appeared to be about two dozen sheriff’s and PBA supporters to show their solidarity. They first formed two lines outside the back entrance of the court house for Achtyl’s arrival, then all entered the courtroom for the proceeding.’

‘Belsito’s attorney, Aaron Glazer, released a statement on the pending charges against Achtyl, saying “We believe the facts clearly support the DA’s decision to prosecute. The law in NY is clear in that Nick should not have been arrested, let alone subjected to a vicious assault. The civil suit is pending and will move forward.”’
