Ford willing to do whatever Bills ask

‘While Ford survived, he did not emerge unscathed. He had surgery on his shoulder the week after the season ended. He was in Buffalo rehabbing until March and felt fortunate that the important part of the rehab was pre-pandemic.’

Bass could be record setting Bills kicker

‘“I think I hit a 75 (yard kick). I didn’t record it. I just hit it on a really windy day back home. It went in and I was like ‘all right’,” Bass said. “I would say 75 is my farthest, but I’ve hit 70 multiple times.”’

Bills Head Coach Sean McDermott signs multi-year extension

‘In his time in Buffalo, McDermott has a 25-25 record with the team, including the Bills two playoff losses. But in 2019 he led the Bills to their first 10 win season since 1999. Kim Pegula said the organization made it a top priority to re-sign McDermott.’

Bills sign Sean McDermott to a multi-year contract extension

‘”Sean’s leadership on and off the field has been nothing but genuine and transparent, qualities we appreciate as owners,” said Kim Pegula in a statement. “He is the same great person to us, the players and everyone across all our organizations. We will never forget how impressed we were during his first interview. Sean’s attention to detail was apparent back then and his process driven approach has brought great stability to our organization. We are happy to extend his contract and keep him in Western New York for many years to come.”‘

WR Cole Beasley passes physical

‘Beasley had a career year in 2019 where he totaled 67 receptions for 778 receiving yards and scored a career high six touchdowns. The WR also averaged a career high 11.6 yards per reception.’

6 things we learned from A.J. Klein and Cody Ford during Bills training camp

‘”Familiarity, knowing Beane and knowing coach McDermott,” Klein said. “And obviously some of the guys that I’ve played with over the years are starting to come here as well. This is a young team that’s eager to win and on the cusp of something great. I’ve been very fortunate in my career thus far to be a part of Carolina and the Saints. Being in winning programs, around winning organizations, and I see that here. I see the potential for a championship and I definitely want to cap off my career with a championship before I retire.”‘

‘”I love the direction that the Buffalo Bills are heading locking up McDermott long term. I’ve got a ton of respect for Sean McDermott,” said Wood. “The fact that his family is assured they’ll be here for a long time is great. Just to be locked up and get some security. It’s an incredible honor for him and his family, but it’s well deserved.’

Bills CB Levi Wallace not backing down from challenge for starting role

‘Wallace started all 16 games last season, but he missed the biggest one of the year. A sprained ankle kept him out of the team’s wild-card playoff loss to the Houston Texans. Prior to that, he started splitting reps with Kevin Johnson over the second half of the season. A nagging shoulder injury that required surgery earlier this offseason is partly to blame for Wallace’s perceived dip in performance – not that he agrees with that assessment.’

For Bills’ Beane, unprecedented training camp

‘“We’ve got to come up with various ways to create competition and some situations (that come up) in games … high impact, high pressure moments the best we can make them. We’re not in pads yet (it’s not allowed until Monday), but as we get closer to that first game we’re going to have to try, when we have to cut this roster down, to come up with as many ways to simulate preseason games. Whether it’s seeing how many snaps they played last year in preseason versus some live snaps we have in practice or any types of scrimmage or intrasquad scrimmages we may do.”’

Bills’ Oliver, Ford, Singletary, Knox hoping for big jump in second NFL season

‘“To be honest I feel like I need to do everything better. Year to year that’s what it’s about – you always want to be better all the way around,” he said. “I’ve got to be better at pass blocking, catching the ball out of the backfield, making my reads, whatever it maybe I’ve got to be better at all of that. There is always room for improvement, so I really went back and looked at everything.”’
