Von Miller can’t wait to get his first season as a Bill started

‘Miller has many reasons that made him want to be a Bill, but he said there was one thing that really stuck out to him, “Honestly my very first conversation with coach McDermott, it was one that made me come here. I was a believer in coach McDermott, like right when I flew here. I was still on the fence about coming to Buffalo, but when I talked to coach McDermott, I just felt his authenticity, I felt that he was genuine, I felt that he was real and I felt like that was a coach that I want to play for.”’

Bills’ AJ Epenesa ready to hit his pinnacle

‘”They were so open on teaching everything they ha in their toolbox,” Epenesa said. “To see them work and talk on the details on their pass rush made me want to lock in more and see theirs, other littles, and things I didn’t think about myself.”‘

Carucci Take2: Bills have no reason to run from sky-high expectations

‘True, it’s easy make strong declarations in June. There’s still next month’s training camp at St. John Fisher College, and August’s preseason schedule, and the 17-game regular-season slate to get through with enough healthy bodies and, especially, victories to pave that path to glory.’

How Case Keenum has clicked with Josh Allen and seamlessly fit into the Bills’ quarterback room

‘“Honestly, to have a team come get you and not get released and go sign somewhere, they wanted me, they traded for me,” he said. “It feels great to have a team like this, the caliber of players, the talent on the team, the type of offense they run, what Josh (Allen) has been able to do. To be able to come and learn and grow my game and get myself out of my comfort zone and learn some new offense has been really good. I’ve enjoyed it a lot. It may have been a little bit of a surprise at the time, but man, it’s full excitement, ready to go. I’ve been excited to get here and work. It’s been a great spring.”’

Buffalo Bills cut Jake Kumerow with plan to re-sign

‘Kumerow had two catches for 28 yards last season, but established himself on special teams. He played 15 games, a career high. Kumerow saw 11% of snaps on offense and 69% of special teams snaps last year.’

Erik Brady: Dome or open-air stadium? The argument that never ends

‘The county backed out of building the domed stadium when the cost came in too high, and it built what is now Highmark Stadium, in Orchard Park. Cottrell sued for $495 million for breach of contract. A jury awarded $64 million, and an appeals court reduced that to $6.1 million.’

Buffalo Bills training camp schedule for St. John Fisher released

‘In their return to Pittsford, the Bills will conduct 11 practices (there will be one at Highmark Stadium on Aug. 5), breaking camp after the Thursday, Aug. 11 session which is two days prior to their preseason opener at home against the Indianapolis Colts.’

Thoughts on, Watson, Poyer and Del Rio

‘Clearly, Poyer is unwilling to have his contract situation become a distraction to a team that many prognosticators see as the favorite to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl.’

Buffalo Bills training camp to open on July 24 back at St. John Fisher College, to feature 12 open practices

‘“I love spending time in the dorm rooms with teammates and playing cards and video games and hanging out and spending really every waking second together with the guys,” Allen said. “And I think that helps build camaraderie and a really good team chemistry that you can’t get otherwise. So it’ll be fun to get back. I know the fans in Rochester are probably excited about it. You know, there’s a lot of fans that do that commute on Sundays, Mondays and Thursdays for us.”’
