‘”My role has always gone beyond coordinating defense, obviously that’s primary for sure to make sure our defense is right,” Frazier said. “We’ve always talked about where our offense is, where special teams is, what’s going on organizationally.”‘

Weighing the pros and cons of Bills pursuing Jaguars edge rusher Yannick Ngakoue
‘With Ngakoue making it clear he doesn’t intend to stay with the Jaguars long term, speculation about his future has increased. Naturally, given the Bills’ need at the position, fans have openly campaigned for their team to swing a deal. Would that make sense for Buffalo? Let’s weigh the pros and cons…’
ESPN’s Todd McShay tags Clemson WR Tee Higgins as Bills’ top choice in latest mock draft
‘“Let’s find Josh Allen a receiver to pair with John Brown. I thought about Brandon Aiyuk (Arizona State), but his game is very similar to Brown’s. What the Bills want instead is a big, strong receiver who can make tough contested catches and create matchup problems in the red zone,” McShay wrote at ESPN.com. “Enter Higgins, with his 6-4, 216-pound frame. He will come down with any ball thrown his way and then make defenders miss with his strength.’
Georgia tackle Andrew Thomas made football his priority and now will reap the benefits
‘Should the Bills be interested in the 6-foot-5, 320-pounder? It essentially comes down to one thing – what is their plan for Cody Ford. If they decide to move last year’s second-round pick to guard, the only viable option they currently have on the roster for right tackle is 35-year-old Ty Nsekhe, who will be in the last year of his contract.’

‘Receiver is a major focus but the Bills have needs on offense and defense.’
Build the defense or address the offense? NFL analysts weigh-in on the Bills top priority
‘”One of the great things about having Sean McDermott as the coach is you know the defense is going to be good,” Rapoport explained. “You could almost say let’s give more money to the offense, if that’s how you want to allocate it. Let’s get more money to the offense because thanks to coaching, thanks to the job Leslie Frazier has done, thanks to the talent you already have there — the defense will be good. To me, taking the money and giving Josh [Allen], whether it’s more weapons, more help on the offensive line, or another running back. I think Devin’s [Singletary] pretty good. Giving more to the offense is something that would make sense to me.”‘
Bills Today: GMFB sees “superstar” coming to Buffalo
‘”There was a sense last year in the middle of the season, as the Bills were surging, that at the trade deadline, they might make that killer move to get [them] over the top, a beat New England move,” Brandt said. “They didn’t make it. I want Amari Cooper in Buffalo. I want him bad. You know a little bit about his personality, it’s a little unique. The market’s a little unique. He’s not the guy who needs the bright lights, necessarily.’
Bills quarterback Josh Allen is popular among NFL draft prospects
‘“I think it’s pretty clear when you watch Josh on TV, whether you know him personally or not, what type of competitor he is,” coach Sean McDermott told reporters at the Combine. “At the end of the day, whether you play offense, defense, or you’re a specialist, that’s what all these players want. They want a good guy to be a teammate alongside of when the ball is kicked and who is highly competitive, and Josh has that fire.”‘
Tee Higgins inspired after watching his mother’s recovery from addiction
‘“You hope you’re drafting A.J. Green,” said NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah. “I don’t think he’s on that level, but that’s the style with which he plays. There’s a little bit of concern with him just getting off press. Some of the better competition they played later in the year, he struggled a little bit with that. But he has incredible ball skills down the field. He can elevate and also adjust to the back-shoulder ball. After the catch, he is very smooth and slippery.”’

Lorenzo Alexander thinks CBA vote will be very close
‘”If you add a 17th game, there’s additional risk that we incur. We’re trying to figure out how we can mitigate as much as possible. Having a longer wrap up time before you put pads on, maximizing the pads that you can have on, as well as increasing the off days.”‘
DiMarco: “I don’t want my locker room to go without money”
‘“[I haven’t read] the full-on, full-out CBA. I mean, it hasn’t been truly written out yet. We kind of scaled it to what the 2011 one was, and then we went over all the tweaks, all the changes. The big impact thing, of course, is the 17th game. That’s the toughest selling point for any rep. going back to the locker rooms. But, there are a lot of good things in this CBA. It’s not perfect. Nobody really wants to play another game, but if we can make it work, then we’re going to make it work.”’
Time to extend McDermott
‘Next season will be his 4th in Buffalo. The last time the franchise had one head coach on the sideline for 4 full seasons it was Marv Levy. That’s also the last time the franchise had stability.’
