‘This will be the second straight year the Bills and Titans will meet on Monday Night Football. Last year the Titans prevailed 34-31. 2022 will also mark the fifth consecutive year the franchises will face each other. They have split the last four matchups: 2-2. The last time Tennessee visited Buffalo was October 7th 2018, when the Bills won 13-12.’

Mr. Everywhere in high school, rookie receiver Khalil Shakir ready for any role with Bills
‘“Whatever the team needs me to do – whether that’s receiver or that’s lining up in the backfield, whatever it is – I’m going to do it and they’re going to get my all,” he said.’
How stadium development turned Foxborough, Green Bay into off season destinations
‘An October 2019 study from CAA-ICON and Populous, commissioned by the Bills, notes that some businesses on Southwestern Boulevard in Orchard Park “negatively impact the principal image of the new stadium.”’
Bills 53-man roster projection ahead of rookie minicamp, spring practices
‘t’s hard to see the Bills moving on from Moss, a former third-round pick, as he enters his third NFL season. It’s equally hard to see his path to playing time, though, unless new offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey favors keeping four running backs active on game day. Under former offensive coordinator Brian Daboll, that was rarely the case, and with Jones occupying the third active spot for special teams, that meant a running back was usually a healthy inactive. Singletary’s strong close to the 2021 season puts him atop the depth chart at this point, and Cook’s status as a second-round pick likely means the offensive staff sees a role for him on game days.’
Bills Mailbag: How has new Bills DE Von Miller fared against Patrick Mahomes in his career?
‘In five games against the Chiefs when Mahomes was the starter, Miller had 1.5 sacks, six tackles and six quarterback hits. He played at least 52 snaps in four of those five games. He missed both meetings against Kansas City in 2020 while on injured reserve, and also missed both 2021 games after being traded to the Rams.’

‘Dareus’ best days are behind him, but a strong performance at the Ravens’ rookie minicamp could lead to the defensive tackle receiving a contract and opportunity to get back into the league in 2022.’
How the draft impacts Bills salary cap, extension candidates
‘The three most likely veterans in line for contract extensions, in alphabetical order, are middle linebacker Tremaine Edmunds, tight end Dawson Knox and safety Jordan Poyer.’
Buffalo Bills made ‘sneakiest good draft pick’ of 2022 NFL Draft, says Rich Eisen
‘“No. 1 top sneaky good draft choice of the 2022 NFL Draft, according to me,” Eisen said. “When he was drafted by this team, I thought, ‘Oh my God.’ James Cook in the Buffalo Bills offense… I don’t know if that’s fair. I don’t know if this is fair. As soon as he got drafted by the Bills, I’m like, ‘Oh my.’ How many times was I talking about the Bills needing a back? I don’t know if he’s got the bellcow like his brother, but he can run, man. And he can be a passing matchup nightmare.”’
2022 NFL schedule release: Bills opponents, previews, full list of teams on regular-season schedule
‘Patriots: New England will be entering Year 2 of Mac Jones and will be looking for the first-round quarterback to take the next step in his development. This offseason, they have provided him with some new weapons, including receivers DeVante Parker and second-round pick Tyquan Thornton. However, they did lose offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels this offseason, which cannot be overlooked. On defense, the departure of J.C. Jackson will also be a hole that Bill Belichick will need to fill in some capacity.’
Bills LB Terrel Bernard: ‘I feel like I have the experience’
‘“He’s just got that quiet confidence, that’s kind of a subtle swagger that goes with his game,” Morris said. “I think that developed over his time here, as he played (and) had success, Baylor got better, and he was right in the middle of it.”’

County lawmakers debate how to pay for their share of stadium construction
‘To fill the county’s $250 million share of the $1.4 billion stadium construction cost, Poloncarz has proposed using $75 million in surplus funds and bonding the remainder. But Lorigo supports putting down $100 million and bonding the rest.’
Carucci Take2: With little to fix, the Bills still managed to make the most of this offseason
‘Most of the Bills’ shortcomings in 2021 were on defense, and the signings of Von Miller and other linemen figure to add some much-needed teeth to their pass rush. There’s a hole at the cornerback spot opposite Tre’Davious White and first-round draft pick, Kaiir Elam, could be the one who fills it. At the very least, the former Florida standout will provide some added cushion should White require more time to recover from a serious knee injury or Dane Jackson isn’t ready to be a starter.’
Bills Today | These two Buffalo Bills matchups crack the top five of Nick Shook’s top ten games of 2022
‘A clash of the old guard and new school awaits us at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, New York, between two teams whose hearts were broken by Divisional Round defeats last postseason. Back-to-back MVP Aaron Rodgers takes the field against one of the faces of the NFL’s quarterbacking future, Josh Allen, in what promises to be an 11-on-11 battle of strategy, finesse and grit. Can the Packers and their revamped cast of offensive playmakers keep pace with the high-powered Bills? Will Green Bay find a way to limit Allen and give Rodgers a chance to score a huge win? This one feels like it’s destined for prime time, and if it comes late in the season, these two cold-weather clubs will be ready to battle the elements for the right to claim supremacy.’
