Bills receiver Stefon Diggs’ story of lost and found has a familiar ring
‘“I give all my rings to my mom. I’m not big on trophies and things like that. I give them all to her. She was taking them from my grandmother’s house because my grandfather had passed away. I guess it slipped out of my mom’s bag. I texted my mom and said somebody found it and she said, ‘I’m so sorry.’ I said, ‘Don’t even worry about it. They’re going to help me get it back.’”’
The Bills’ mantra is to score more points this year, but upgrading defense was still vital

Final thoughts on Bills’ draft from Beane
‘“There were guys on both sides of the ball with 10 picks left that were in the mix, including Epenesa. We never tried to trade up in the second round. We liked who was on the board and we had good grades. Obviously Epenesa, you’ve seen his production. I assume he fell because of his 40 time (at the Combine, a slow 5.04 seconds).

‘Beane deserves credit for tearing Buffalo’s roster down after a playoff appearance in 2017. It would have been easy to stick with the roster that did enough to sneak into the playoffs, but the GM knew that the roster needed to be overhauled from top to bottom so that the team could be financially healthy long-term. It didn’t take long for Beane to right the ship in that regard. Of course, Beane is going to have some tough decisions ahead in the next few years when it comes to re-signing young talent already on the roster, but he has put the team in a place where it can retain its best talent.’
Bills’ Bryan Cox Jr.: ’Pops is excited. I’m sure he’d be happy to come to Buffalo’
‘“Football back then was way different than it is now. It was a different day and age and I feel like somebody had to be the villain. He kind of embodied that,” Cox Jr. said on a video conference call. “He almost fed off of it, I guess. That was just his thing and what he liked to do.”’
WGR Bills Defense Draft

How the Bills plan to build their team culture during a remote offseason
‘”It’s weird trying to meet people through virtual meetings,” Addison told Sirius XM NFL Radio. “For me I’m trying to distinguish which guy was already in Buffalo and who is coming in now like me. It’s different when you’re not face to face talking to them. So, I have to do a better job of using the numbers in my phone and meet the guys and have more one-on-one conversations.”‘
