Carucci Take2 Bills Mailbag: Major offseason move appears unlikely, and unnecessary
‘I do think that, between free agency and the draft, the Bills can sufficiently find potential replacements/upgrades at pass-rusher and cornerback. I don’t necessarily see running back as a big priority, but one could always be found at some point during the draft or in the second or third tiers of free agency.’
Bills re-sign wide receiver Jake Kumerow to one-year deal
‘Kumerow, 30, signed with the Bills practice squad in 2020. He entered the league in 2015 as an undrafted free agent with the Bengals, and he spent time with the Patriots and the Packers as well. He made his debut in 2018 with the Packers against the Cardinals, with one 11-yard catch, and was a favorite of Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers.’

Jahan Dotson could be best slot receiver in NFL draft. Could he fall to the Buffalo Bills?
‘If we learned anything about Dotson in the two seasons since, and from his Combine performance in Indianapolis last week, it’s this: The kid is not slow (he ran a 4.43 in the 40), and he clearly overcame the adverse Minnesota moment and produced two outstanding seasons in 2020 and 2021 when he totaled 143 catches for 2,066 yards and 20 TDs, all of which has vaulted him into first-round draft territory.’
NFL rumors: Buffalo Bills expected to pursue Giants TE Evan Engram
‘Engram will be priced out of the Giants’ tight budget, so they should be rooting for him to cash in because that could boost their compensatory pick formula in 2023. Comp picks weren’t part of the Bills’ way of doing business when Schoen was in Buffalo, but the Giants could be in line for one with Engram since they don’t have the cap space to spend in free agency.’
NFL free agency: Which Buffalo Bills 2018 pre-draft visitors will be available?
‘There is risk involved in signing Penny from a durability standpoint, but he could end up being a terrific complement to Devin Singletary. Considering his inability to stay healthy, Penny may be available at a price that intrigues Buffalo.’
Bills Have Limited Salary Cap Space Entering Free Agency

Bills re-sign wide receiver Jake Kumerow to one-year deal
‘Kumerow has been a big special teams contributor for the Bills in both of the last two seasons. The 30-year-old also appeared in a career high 15 games for the Bills this past season.’
Opinion: Why the Bills should consider trading Tremaine Edmunds
‘When I consider all of the options for the Bills and Edmunds moving forward, there are definitely several options for the Bills, which is always a good thing. They aren’t pigeon-holed. They aren’t in a bad spot. They are not without leverage. But this is coming to a head quicker than we all probably realize.’
