‘Allen went on to say, “I’m a big statistics and logical guy. So if the statistics show it’s the right thing for me to do, I’d do it. Again I’d lean the other way too if that’s what it said.”‘

Bills add Lamp to brighten offensive line
‘But the Bills did not sign Lamp to get discounts on furniture. Lamp was a 4 year player with the Chargers who started all 16 games last season. Not only did he start every game, Lamp did not miss a single offensive snap for Los Angeles. He will likely get a chance to compete for a starting spot in Buffalo with Cody Ford.’
Bills agree to terms with guard Forrest Lamp
‘Lamp comes to the Bills after playing for the Los Angeles Chargers for four seasons.’
Bills Today | What Josh Allen thinks about a long-term contract extension
‘”There’s a lot of different ways you can go about it,” Allen said of how contract extensions can come together. “Honestly, I love playing football. I want to listen and be engaged in the contract talks. Ultimately that’s why you pay your agents, and that’s why you hire a guy like Brandon Beane, (assistant general manager) Joe Schoen and the front office guys and what they do. They’ll iron out the details and if we can get to something soon, I’d obviously love to be locked down in Buffalo for a very long time.’
NFL draft preview: Bills and running back? Let the arguments begin
‘The only way drafting a running back in the first round pays off is if the player turns out to be outstanding – not just good. And even if he is outstanding, you’re probably not signing him to a second contract because there’s no value in doing that at a position that has a shorter shelf life than most others.’
Taron Johnson gets biggest Bills bump in NFL performance bonus system
‘Johnson received an extra $578,749 under the terms of the NFL collective bargaining agreement. That was the third highest pay boost in the NFL. Johnson made $750,000 last season, the third year of the four-year rookie contract he signed in 2018.’
Bills’ Tre’Davious White on Sam Darnold trade, what QB 49ers should draft
‘“I think, just me seeing Sam on film and just watching film and studying, he can make every throw,” White said. “He’s mobile, he can throw on the run, he has a strong arm, he has all of that. I don’t know where it went wrong as far as him being productive or living up to what they thought he should be. But as far as watching the guy on film, his arm talent – he has it.”’
Opinion: Trade or stay?
‘When you’re in a Super Bowl window like the Bills are, it could truly be just one player inserted into the lineup to get them over-the-hump. The Bills, most likely, aren’t finding that player at pick No. 30. It might take getting into the top-20, or even top-15 to find someone who could come in and make that type of immediate impact.’
Poloncarz: Bills stadium negotiations ‘not going to happen overnight’
‘“I wanted to clear up the air,” Poloncarz said when asked about the study during a COVID-19 news conference, “because some people are asking me, ‘What does the report say?’ And I say, ‘I don’t know’ because I haven’t seen it, and no one in Erie County government has seen it, and no one to my knowledge in New York state has seen it. We are just starting the process that will probably take some time.”’
The Bills 2021 Draft: Unfamiliar Territory
‘It’s a good problem to have because It means you had a great season, which Buffalo did.’
Bills Today | ESPN offers this fantasy football projection for the Bills in 2021
‘8. The Bills operated the league’s No. 2 pass-heaviest offense, ranked first in three-plus WR sets (91%) and second in four-plus WR sets (17%) last season. John Brown is out, and Emmanuel Sanders is in, which sets up the depth chart as Stefon Diggs, Cole Beasley, Sanders, Gabriel Davis and Isaiah McKenzie. All five will see plenty of work, with Diggs and Beasley your top fantasy bets. Sanders’ signing is a bump in the road for Davis’ sleeper appeal, but keep in mind that he played 68% of the snaps and handled 19% of the team’s air yards as a fourth-round rookie.’
NFL draft preview: Bills don’t need a quarterback, but good year for teams that do
‘Bills view: Few teams are as set at quarterback as the Bills.’
ESPN’s Todd McShay thinks draft may break Bills’ way on pass rusher
‘“The tricky part is with five quarterbacks in the top 11 and then four pass catchers also going in the top 11, it kind of pushes back everyone on the defensive side,” McShay said on a conference call with reporters Monday. “I have two corners going, then I went to offensive linemen – and then the pass rushers. Because of all the quarterbacks and pass catchers, there’s a good chance that the edge rushers get pushed back a little bit.”’
Mock drafts all over the map on who the Buffalo Bills might pick in first round
‘This is what happens when you make it all the way to the AFC Championship Game and your first-round pick gets pushed to No. 30 overall. With the potential for so many things to take place before Roger Goodell finally says the Bills are on the clock, mock drafters can’t even come to a clear-cut consensus on what position the Bills may seek to address, let alone a specific player.’
Why Bills’ Stefon Diggs says he will continue wearing No. 14 even if jersey proposal passes
‘After some consideration, the NFL’s leader in receptions and receiving yards tweeted that No. 14 was everything to him and went on to explain why he won’t be changing his jersey number even if the Chiefs’ proposal passes. According to Diggs, it comes down to people who have already spent their hard earned money supporting him and his current number.’
