Bills talking COVID-19 vaccinations as training camp nears

I don’t think the right word is to try and convince, I think the right word is to try and educate and build awareness and then let people decide.”‘

Bills not ruling out returning to Rochester for training camp

‘Buffalo looks set to return almost every starter from last year’s AFC East champion squad in 2021. Led by 25-year-old quarterback Josh Allen, who broke eight single-season franchise records last year, the Bills add Super Bowl champion receiver Emmanuel Sanders, who takes the place of oft-injured John Brown this season.

Bills Today | NFL.com analysts think Sean McDermott can achieve this feat in 2021

‘I have to go with Sean McDermott. After falling one win short of making a Super Bowl appearance in January, the Buffalo Bills went to work and improved their roster this offseason. Josh Allen had to be happy with the additions to the O-line, backfield and receiving corps, which included veteran receiver Emmanuel Sanders,while the defense retained linebacker Matt Milano and corner Levi Wallace and bolstered its pass rush in the draft. It’s a competitive AFC field, but Allen only seems to be getting better with a team that rallies around him.’
