‘This is, by far, the biggest competition entering training camp – and the most wide open. Spector is the odd man out in this projection, but that could easily change with a good performance this summer. We know Milano is safe. It seems highly unlikely the Bills would move on from either Bernard or Williams – both third-round picks in the past two drafts. That leaves five players competing for three spots. Klein has the most experience, and would be a veteran option if kept over Spector, who is going into his second season. Special teams will be a factor in the decision. Klein has played a role there in recent years, which is another reason he’s slightly ahead of Spector at the moment (at least in this projection).’

Bills Mailbag: Trying to make sense of the Stefon Diggs situation
‘Here’s the truth, which you might not like hearing: I have no idea what caused it. The two sides who do know the truth – those being Diggs and whoever he’s spoken to with the Bills (Brandon Beane, McDermott, Allen, etc.) have all chosen not to come clean on the situation. In doing so, they invite speculation. For a fan, that has to be all sorts of frustrating. You just want to know what’s going on with your favorite team. It sure is frustrating as a media member, too. It was particularly galling Wednesday when McDermott came out and said “there are a lot of things out there that aren’t accurate,” and “there are some things that have been said that I don’t think are fair.” The head coach could, at any point, put an end to all of that at any point by simply telling the truth about what’s going on. Even if it’s a deeply personal issue that McDermott is not in a position to share the details of, he could still set the record straight.’
The Buffalo Bills and Stefon Diggs have their issues, but they need each other for 2023
‘Diggs’s frustration is with his role in the offense and his voice in play-calling, per a league source close to the Bills’ locker room. He was visibly agitated at Allen during the 27-10 playoff loss to the Bengals, stormed out of the locker room almost immediately after the game, and didn’t attend any voluntary workouts this offseason.’
Stefon Diggs drama threatens Buffalo Bills place atop AFC
‘Consider this: The offseason that Brian Daboll got the Giants head coaching job, it is believed that Daboll was planning to leave the Bills’ offensive coordinator post regardless due to the untenable situation in Buffalo. Then this offseason, Bills defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier stepped away from McDermott’s staff to take a year off — but not because he wanted to stop coaching.’
How Buffalo Bills fans made the Madden NFL 24 cover with Josh Allen
‘Getting that text was how Shamberger found out that an answered casting call and the photoshoot that followed with Buffalo’s signal caller was for much more than a website or a magazine. The true use of the photoshoot was kept under wraps until the cover was revealed in June and it marked not only the first Bills player on the cover, but the first time in Madden’s history that the cover featured fans alongside the cover athlete. All the fans included on the cover were real Bills fans from the Los Angeles area, creating a one-of-a-kind experience for those supporters.’
