‘“I know we made progress, we got accomplished what we wanted to get accomplished,” Ciano said. “I have to give our players credit. They have stepped up more than I could ever imagine. I appreciate them so much, the way they handled themselves during this offseason. They made a bad situation great. It’s a testament to the kind of guys we have, the leadership in the locker room.”’

Josh Norman, Buffalo Bills defensive players ignore NFLPA recommendation against private group workouts
‘Josh Norman shared multiple video clips in his Instagram story on Saturday working out with his new Bills teammates on a football field in Ashburn, Virginia. There were also clips of some players taking part in a volleyball game and the group later enjoying dinner together.’
Picking 1 player (offense/defense) who the Buffalo Bills can least afford to lose to injury in 2020
‘Defensively, Tre’Davious White is the player the Bills cannot afford to lose. White is one of the NFL’s top cornerbacks and was recognized as such last season by being named a first-team All-Pro. Since arriving in Buffalo, White has been Sean McDermott’s No. 1 cornerback and has played a big role in the team’s defensive success from 2017-2019. If he goes down with an injury, opposing quarterbacks would likely have a lot more success through the air with Josh Norman, Levi Wallace and E.J. Gaines being asked to step up in his place.’
Cam Newton signs with New England Patriots; AFC East gets more interesting for Bills (report)
‘There are questions about his shoulder and just his general ability to stay healthy. He’s been working out with Odell Beckham Jr. this offseason and seems to be highly motivated to recapture his status as one of the league’s best quarterbacks. He joins a division with three young first rounders in Buffalo’s Josh Allen, New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold and this year’s fifth overall pick by Miami, Tua Tagovailoa.’
5 thoughts on New England Patriots signing Cam Newton: What it means for Buffalo Bills
‘The Bills have the best offensive roster on paper. It’s up to Josh Allen and offensive coordinator Brian Daboll to turn the unit into a Top 15 offense in the league. I think it happens and the Bills win the division.’
Buffalo Bills will still win division by 3 or 4 games (Reactions following Patriots signing Cam Newton)
‘Is the addition of Newton enough for the Patriots to stay on top of the division in 2020? Here’s what some national media members are saying on Newton, the Patriots’ AFC East odds, the Buffalo Bills and much more.’
Cam Newton to the Patriots should worry the Bills
‘Newton coming in to help with that task makes it much more realistic. The Patriots offensive talent is pretty brutal. A 34-year old Julian Edelman, a very average WR2 in Mohamed Sanu, and an unproven second-year WR in N’Keal Harry makes up New England’s WR core. The tight ends and offensive line aren’t in great shape either.’
Will Newton swing AFC East title away from Buffalo?
‘The question with Newton is health. He’s coming a shoulder surgery in 2019 and a foot surgery last winter. It’s hard to imagine Newton having a problem free season maybe ever again.’
Is Knox the key to Allen’s success?
‘But every quarterback needs a safety net, especially Allen who was blitzed the third-most in the NFL in 2019.’
Fresno State Mike Bell’s ‘I never quit’ mentality lands him undrafted free agent deal with Buffalo Bills
‘”I didn’t get to this point for no reason,” he said. “There’s a story to be told. I feel like I have a great story to tell when it’s all said and done. I’m glad I can tell it in a fashion to somewhere where I’m loved in Fresno. I hope to go back and graduate and be a super alumni.”‘
