‘”Reason I wanted to be here is because it’s more of a family than just a football team,” Neal shared. “Each other, we lean on each other. We lean on each other when we down. We lean on each other when we get up. We lean on each other when we lose, we lean on each other when we win. And I think that’s what makes our team so strong.’

Has Tremaine Edmunds done enough to merit a contract extension with Buffalo Bills later this year?
‘For all the physical gifts Edmunds has been blessed with, there is still a lingering sense the 6-foot-5, 250-pounder hasn’t quite lived up to his first-round draft status. He led the Bills with 108 tackles in the regular season, but that’s to be expected of a middle linebacker. If we define big plays as sacks, interceptions, forced fumbles or recoveries, passes defensed and tackles for loss, Edmunds combined to make just 12 such plays. Seven players on the defense had that many or more. That’s a category that ideally Edmunds leads every year, and he didn’t come close. That’s something Beane will have to weigh when he considers a possible extension offer.’
