Bills extend Ferguson through 2024

‘NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reporting that Ferguson received a $675,000 singing bouns and became the league’s highest-paid long snapper.’

Thoughts from Kim Pegula; Edmunds talks

‘Predictably, she got a question about the team’s women fans. “When we’ve looked at this, we realize that our female fans don’t want to be treated as female fans,” she pointed out. “They just want to be included as fans. We’ve tried different things like ‘Football 101’ classes and they never went over really well. Our (female) fans just want to be engaged as a fan, not a ‘female fan.’ I think that’s the best lesson we’ve learned.”’

‘”The NFL is a business. A lot of hidden things going on. You never really know what it is,” he said. “There are thoughts of getting cut, thoughts of getting traded, never getting activated again. Those are just realities that come in. It’s not like somebody can sit you down and say, ‘Hey, here’s our plan. We’re going to have you this week, not this week, this week.’ So you just never know. But, yeah, those are thoughts that every player has, I think, unless you’re maybe the guy. Maybe Josh (Allen) doesn’t have too many of them, but that’s the harsh reality of the NFL that you don’t realize as a kid is the mental toll it can take on you.”‘

Bills’ Stefon Diggs reveals secret to his success with Josh Allen

‘“Josh will just look at me and say, ’’Stef’, just get open and catch the ball,” Diggs told Modern Luxury DC. “I really don’t care what you do before that.’ And that’s hard to hear because I’m so used to timing routes and doing things in a certain type of way. But this is where the creativity comes in. I can mix things up a little bit, and the quarterback trusts me. The only way you can build that trust is by making plays.”’

‘With all their key players returning and Josh Allen rising to top-tier status at quarterback, the Bills are primed to reach the Super Bowl for the first time since the 1993 season. But the Dolphins and Patriots won’t make the journey easy. The roster retooling that Miami began in 2019 is ready to really bear fruit, although I do still have questions about Tua Tagovailoa after a shaky rookie year, especially after watching Justin Herbert — whom the Dolphins passed on in favor of Tagovailoa at fifth overall — win Offensive Rookie of the Year with the Chargers. QB issues also dog New England, with the selection of Mac Jones in the first round of this year’s draft accelerating the clock on the Cam Newton era, though the offense should rebound following much-needed upgrades across the depth chart. (If the Patriots pull off a trade for Julio Jones, that will increase the degree of difficulty for the Bills, but it wouldn’t necessarily move Buffalo up this list.)’

Tremaine Edmunds says Bills are ‘on a mission’ entering 2021 season

‘“I love it out here, man,” Edmunds said. “The fans and everything that Buffalo has to offer, I love it. And so, I was excited just because I know the group that we have here. I’m excited just to be back, to go to war with them so we can all try to accomplish what we all here to do – and that’s to win a championship. So, I was excited, man, smiles from ear to ear and my family was excited because they love it here, as well. I’m excited what the future brings, and I’m just looking at what we could do as a team this year.”’

Bills’ Stefon Diggs says he wants ‘five Super Bowl rings’ in interview with hometown magazine

‘“I haven’t reached the mountain top yet. I always aim high. I want five Super Bowl rings,” Diggs said. “I want the Hall of Fame. I want the glory. I believe I’m a champion. But, more so, I want to carry some people along with me. I want my brother, Trevon, to have a good career. I want to give my mom a place where she can be comfortable. I want to give people jobs. I want to do more for D.C., my city. The mountain top isn’t just for football; it’s for life in general. The more people I can help – that’s when I’ll look back and know I made a difference.”’

Bills add receiver Lance Lenoir to roster

‘Lenoir, 26, has played in seven career games with the Dallas Cowboys, primarily on special teams, and has not appeared in a game since 2018. He spent the 2020 offseason with the Seattle Seahawks and was on the practice squad for part of the season.’

‘Lenoir has not had the opportunity to return punts or kicks in the NFL, but he handled these responsibilities at Western Illinois. Lenoir had 40 kick returns for 809 yards and 28 punt returns for 214 yards and one touchdown in his collegiate career. After losing Andre Roberts in free agency, Buffalo seems option to weighing all of their options in the return game.’
