‘Milano and Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt are the only players in the NFL with 25 or more tackles for loss and multiple interceptions since the start of the 2021 season. The Bills have allowed an average of 17.4 points per game in that span, the fewest in the league.’

Bills, LB Matt Milano Agree to Restructured Two-Year Contract
‘The 28-year-old had his best season in 2022, being named to his first Pro Bowl and getting his first All-Pro selection. The incredible year included 99 tackles—72 of them being solo—and he added three interceptions in his 15 games played. Milano will be entering his seventh NFL season, all of which have been in Buffalo.’
Bills sign Matt Milano to two-year contract extension through 2026

Opinion: 2023 State of the Bills: Safety
‘There’s no doubt he’s played like that for the Bills, and is one of the top players in the league at his spot. But Poyer will be 32 in April and injuries have mounted, including missing four games this season. At some point the Bills have to start getting younger there. So it’s a tough position for them to balance.’
Opinion: 2023 State of the Bills: Cornerback
‘Jackson was the target of a lot of criticism from fans last year. He was often essentially serving as the team’s No. 1 corner, going against some of the top receivers in the league. That’s a tall task, and the Bills did get beaten by opponents’ top wide receivers a little too often. But Jackson is much better playing second-fiddle opposite a true number one guy. That couldn’t happen last year since the team did not have Tre’Davious White available until late November.’

GM for a Day: Complete road map for the Buffalo Bills’ offseason
‘Let’s start with the cold, hard truth: The Bills have fallen behind in the AFC arms race. Yes, they are to be commended for navigating an unimaginable set of circumstances last season and still going 13-3 in the regular season, but they once again failed to advance beyond the divisional round of the postseason, getting outclassed by the Cincinnati Bengals at home.’

‘Over the last couple of years, several executives from the Bills and their stadium development team, including their colleagues from the consulting group Legends and the architectural design firm Populous, visited venues across North America and Europe.

Bobby Wagner? Adam Thielen? Thumbs up, thumbs down on these 8 released players for Buffalo Bills
‘The Bills won’t likely have the cap space to commit to Tremaine Edmunds after his career year in 2022. With no legitimate options currently on their roster, Wagner makes sense as a perfect stop-gap for 1-2 seasons. Wagner was all over the field for the Rams last season and finished the year with 140 total tackles, 10 tackles for loss, 10 QB hits and six sacks.’
Stefon Diggs expresses anger over Bills’ early playoff exits: ‘Doesn’t make sense’
‘“I think it’s more execution than anything,” Diggs said. “S–t is small little pieces on why s–t is not going right. You can rack your brain, like we got the players. We got the plays. Why s–t ain’t coming together?”’
Sean McDermott calls W&M time ‘one of the best experiences a young man could ask for’
‘Laycock recalled McDermott as “like a coach on the field. When he finished, he stayed with me for a year and coached with us. We gave him responsibilities, and he was one of those kind of guys who worked his butt off, was detail-oriented. He was a pretty serious person. He had a good personality, but he was serious about it.’
