‘Edmunds is No. 1 on the priority list, followed in some order by safety Jordan Poyer, running back Devin Singletary, wide receiver Cole Beasley and defensive linemen Jordan Phillips and Shaq Lawson.’

Stefon Diggs worried he was ‘messed up’ for reaction to Damar Hamlin incident
‘“… It’s hard to describe because it’s inconsistent on how to feel,” Diggs said after explaining how he witnessed his late father flatline in the hospital. “… Guys crying and in that moment, I couldn’t do anything but other than — if I know Damar Hamlin personally, which I do like a little bro — get your guys ready to go. Rally your guys behind him because if you didn’t have something to play for, you got something to play for now.”’
Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin appears at Broward event to promote CPR awareness
‘Hamlin appeared with Dolphins defensive tackle Raekwon Davis. They offered brief comments to children from two Broward County teams who learned the basics of CPR.’
Bills’ Stefon Diggs recalls feeling torn in reaction to Damar Hamlin’s on-field collapse
‘”But, in that moment, if we had to go back out there, I know Damar would’ve wanted us to play … because when he came to finally, his first words were, ‘Did we win?’ I was a little iffy. I was like ‘Damn, am I messed up for wanting to get guys to play?’ Obviously, some guys couldn’t. But then when he woke up and said ‘Did we win,’ it was reassuring that I know he has a winning spirit. I knew my little bro would’ve wanted me to go bump with them, not go and leave.”‘
Stefon Diggs still confused about Bills’ 2022 divisional playoff loss to Bengals: ‘It doesn’t make sense’
Opinion: 2023 State of the Bills: Defensive end
‘Basham, the team’s second-round pick in 2021, looked like he was starting to figure things out as last season went on. It wasn’t incredibly consistent, but Basham had flashes where he made impactful plays. He finished the regular season with a pair of sacks and 19 total tackles, while playing 37% of the defensive snaps.’
Free agency preview: AFC East’s beastly DTs make interior OL a priority for Bills
‘Names to know: Philadelphia’s Isaac Seumalo, Baltimore’s Ben Powers and Tennessee’s Nate Davis are three quality veteran guards set to be free agents who could be upgrades over Saffold.’
Bills salary cap situation: What contracts can be restructured, which players could be cut
‘Offensive tackle Dion Dawkins and linebacker Matt Milano could also create some very nice space, about $12 million combined, but restructuring their deals would prove costly in 2025. That’s because while both players are signed only through 2024, each has two void years attached to their current contracts beyond 2024.’
What will Buffalo Bills do in 2023 free agency? 5 ideas we like; 5 ideas we don’t
‘The Bills already have nine players under contract with cap hits north of $10 million next season. Edmunds could get an average annual salary of $20 million if the right team valued his age and position. It feels like the Bills just don’t have the room or the space to be that team.’
How Stefon Diggs has made a lasting impact on several NFL prospects
‘”I reached out to him during my process of picking Maryland,” Jarrett shared. “He said it was a good decision for him and what he wanted to do, and it worked out for him. I just took the advice and kind of implemented it into what I wanted to do.”‘
A trade for Henry would benefit Bills
‘To be sure, he’s 29 years old, elderly for an NFL running back. But, at 6-foot-3, 247 pounds, Henry is a beast, dominating in short-yardage and with exceptional speed for a back his size.’
Ryan O’Halloran: Five free agents whose additions would help the Bills
‘If the Bills want to go the route of taking one big swing to represent their entire business, signing Powers to play left guard would qualify. Spotrac projects him signing a three-year contract averaging $9.4 million. He is nine years younger than Rodger Saffold (also a free agent) and adding him for multiple years would create continuity.’
Odds have the Bills as favorite landing spot for Derrick Henry in a trade – but is that a wise bet?
‘No. 1 is his contract. Henry is due a $10.5 million base salary in 2023, which is the final year of his deal. Any team acquiring him in a trade would be on the hook for that amount against the 2023 salary cap, unless it worked out a contract extension that lowered that amount. The Bills are currently over the 2023 salary cap, and have significant work to do to just get under the cap. Taking on a contract such as Henry’s without significantly reworking it might not even be possible.’
Buffalo Bills 7-round 2023 mock draft: Playmaker and protection are on the way for Josh Allen
‘While Beane deserves plenty of credit for building the Buffalo Bills’ roster into a legitimate Super Bowl contender, the team’s draft classes have been lacking in terms of immediate production. While starting jobs are limited in Buffalo, the Bills need to do a better job of adding players who can make some sort of impact sooner rather than later. Look no further than the Kansas City Chiefs’ 2022 draft. The Chiefs had multiple rookies play key roles in their Super Bowl championship season.’
