Buffalo Bills 7-round mock draft 2020: Trade up lands defensive playmaker in 3rd
‘The only real needs remaining is at running back. But with starter Devin Singletary and depth piece T.J. Yeldon coming back in 2020, it’s hard to argue that it’s a pressing need. Many Bills Mafia faithful want the best back on the board with the Bills’ first pick but the value is higher later in the draft.’
Free agency 2020: Cam Newton, Jameis Winston among 10 players Buffalo Bills should consider signing

Bills Today | The greatest lesson learned from Buffalo’s Wild Card loss
‘”One I think it proves is how important getting a home playoff game is,” Allen said. “That’s really what our mindset is going into this year. We want to make sure we’re playing at home come January. There are a lot of things we have to go through to get there. Coach McDermott preaches playoff caliber and we’re going to continue to strive for that and try to put our team on track to make the playoffs.”‘

Bills Today | Steve Wyche: The Bills are the team to beat right now
‘”First off let’s not forget the fact that Buffalo was a playoff team last year,” Wyche explained. “The Bills made a lot of strides. I think Josh Allen is still somewhat far from reaching his ceiling. They seem to have developed the proper culture there in the way they’ve built this team. They also have a certain type of player, hard-nosed and very disciplined, when you watch the Bills they are very disciplined in a lot of things they do.”‘

Bills Mailbag: Grading each of Buffalo’s additions in free agency
‘Mario Addison: One of the more underrated players in the NFL, Addison has had nine-plus sacks in four consecutive seasons, which is the second-longest streak among active players. He has totaled 39 sacks in those four seasons. He’s an upgrade over Shaq Lawson as a pass rusher. Addison will be 33 in September, but the Bills should know better than most teams what he has left, given his Carolina connection. He’s going to fit nicely into the “culture.” Additionally, the contract he signed is easy enough to get out of after one year if his production drops. Grade: A-.”
Free agency from a wife’s perspective shows what the fans don’t see
‘I truly don’t know how players who aren’t married or have someone else living with them do it. When we got cut from the Lions, LA was on a flight to New England the next day with one bag of clothes and personal belongings.
