‘”We’ll look at everything,” Bills general manager Brandon Beane said on WGR 500 Tuesday. “Definitely guys that have higher cap numbers like that you look at everything, whether it’s restructuring it, adding years. We’ll look at everything. You can definitely know we will look at Stef’s contract at some point and see if there is something that makes sense for both sides. But we haven’t begun any conversations with him at this point.”‘

Bills clear cap space by releasing linebacker A.J. Klein

Opinion: Bills making a big splash move?
‘To me this comes down to three positions: wide receiver, tight end and edge defender. I’d like to see the move come at wide receiver but I don’t think the Bills would be willing to hand out a second big contract at that position. Stefon Diggs is way under market value when you look at the two years left on his contract. His average annual salary is $14.4 million. What would be market value for Diggs? Kansas City’s Tyreek Hill just got an extension that is worth an average of $21 million a year.’

Why this 2022 NFL Draft prospect looks up to Bills’ cornerback Tre’Davious White
‘”And I feel like just looking at those two people every time, seeing how they think. I feel I just try to play and be close to them with their skill set, both of them have sticky coverages and everything. Both of them are great and I would be happy to play with both of them.”‘
Mock Draft I: Bills take advantage of rare opportunity to add potential game-breaking threat
‘Buffalo Bills. Jameson Williams, WR, Alabama. Sure, Williams may not be able to play in Week 1, but who cares? This is a rare opportunity for the Bills to add a special talent to their offense. Imagine defenses trying to defend Stefon Diggs, Gabriel Davis and Williams. Good luck with that. Williams put up huge numbers for the Crimson Tide, making 79 catches for 1,572 yards and 15 touchdowns on 120 targets. He had just three drops. The Ohio State transfer tore his ACL in the national title game, though, which figures to slide him down the draft board a bit. That feels similar to how the Bills were able to draft Miami running back Willis McGahee nearly 20 years ago. The Bills have the luxury of allowing Williams time to get healthy. Even if he only returns for the second half of the season, that would give him plenty of time for the Bills to work him into the offense, with the idea being he’s close to full speed for the playoffs. The Bills may have a bigger need at cornerback, but if Beane stays true to his “best player available” philosophy, there is a good bet Williams is in play here. The fit is intriguing, to say the least.’
