Opinion: What to expect from each Bills 2021 draft pick
‘While he may not be an every down starter right away, the Bills certainly did not make Rousseau their first round pick to have him sit and watch all year. He should fit in as a rotational pass rusher at all different spots on the defensive line. The only questions are where, how soon and how often?’

Bills Today | Is this defensive lineman set to breakout in 2021?
‘”I’ve always been high on Devin Singletary. I’ve spent some time with him. But I’m still high on Ed Oliver,” said Clark. “I think athleticism wins in this league and big guys who can win, I always bet on them. I think Ed Oliver can have that breakout season to get to the top of the heap. It’s hard for me at a position on the defensive line that’s so focused on sack numbers, I think actual valuations get lost in the mix sometimes. But I loved him coming into the league. I love the way Buffalo develops guys, so Ed Oliver is my pick to take the next step this year.”‘
Bills show they’re ‘team-first’ facing NFL’s Phase II
‘As of now, nearly half the league – 15 teams – has indicated it will not participate, though individual players from those franchises can opt to attend on their own. Among those declaring their non-participation are the Steelers, Browns, Dolphins, Patriots, Jets and Giants. Not among them is the Bills, which speaks to coach Sean McDermott’s skills in promoting a team-first mindset in Buffalo. His veterans clearly feel they’re part of a squad that has high expectations and are unwilling to appear as anything less than all-in.’
Bills rookie Jack Anderson likes being in the middle of the action
‘“In high school, I played on varsity as a freshman at Frisco,” Anderson said, referring to his prep team in suburban Dallas. “I was the center that year. I played guard and tackle then. And then at college, I started every game at right guard. But I got a bunch of snaps at center during practice and at left guard. I’d rotate with the center. And then my last game against Kansas, I played the second half at center. So I feel real comfortable there.”’
Report: Bills to take look at receiver/returner Jeff Badet
‘Badet, 26, only has appeared in three NFL games since signing as an undrafted rookie with Minnesota in 2018. He was placed on the Vikings’ practice squad that year, then was out of football in 2019 after being released at the end of preseason that summer. Badet spent most of last season on the Washington practice squad but was promoted to the active roster for three games. He did not catch a pass. He was waived by Washington on May 3.’
Erik Brady: Jeff Nixon got ‘Spider-Man’ nickname with Bills, but carries it for other reasons
‘Nixon had three interceptions and one fumble recovery in the 1980 season opener as the Bills ended a 20-game losing streak to the Miami Dolphins.

He stayed in Buffalo and has been youth services manager for the city’s Employment and Training Center for 22 years – and an ardent cultivator of spider plants for longer than that.’
