Stefon Diggs drama: Robert Griffin III says Bills star receiver might have a problem with Josh Allen

‘”Him and Josh Allen seemed to have a bromance rolling, it felt like for years there, until there was a problem with their game against the Bengals in the playoffs,” RG3 said. “So, I think it’s clear, this is a personal thing between Josh and Diggs. And they have to get their partnership back on the field, and that’s part of playing quarterback. I think Josh Allen’s running into that right now. Everything is fine, until it’s not fine in a relationship when it comes to a quarterback and a wide receiver like Diggs. So Josh has to manage that relationship the right way and I think he’s the only one that can rectify.”‘

Ryan O’Halloran: Bruce Smith confident Von Miller will return to pre-injury form, but stresses patience

‘“First and foremost, ‘Father Time’ is undefeated,” Smith said. “Secondly, I’m sure Von’s mindset is to work extremely hard and diligently. He’s already a student of the game and will make sure he gets back to 100%. Unfortunately, the body thinks differently sometimes with age. … He can certainly play at a high level. I’m excited about him getting back on the field. I’m excited about him having the opportunity once again to show his dominance.”’

Jordan Poyer cancels golf event as sponsors pull out due to location at Trump course

‘“Unfortunately, there have been a numerous amount of teams up north that have pulled out of the tournament. Not just out of the tournament but also wrote e-mails to a big sponsor that was going to help sponsor my tournament,” Poyer said on Instagram. “And that company now, it’s unfortunate that they have pulled out and decided that they don’t want to take part in my tournament, in which they took part in last year, because of where it’s at, the Trump National in Doral.”‘

Major excavation of Bills stadium site well underway in Orchard Park

‘”We’re starting to finish up some of the early work, the prep. The site fence has been established to secure the perimeter, we’re working on temporary power and other utility relocations and establishing some utilities to be used during the construction project,” said John Polka, Vice President of Stadium Development with the Bills. “As most people can see as they’re driving by, we’re underway with mass excavation of the work around the property and in the stadium bowl.”‘

Bills Mailbag: What to make of contract extensions for Brandon Beane and Sean McDermott

‘The only slight surprise to me is the timing of the extensions, given that both were previously signed through the 2025 season. There was no hurry from the organization’s standpoint, but clearly Terry Pegula values what his current general manager and head coach have brought to the team and wanted to make sure they were rewarded with extensions that will take them into the opening of the team’s new stadium.’

Mark Poloncarz approached two stadium negotiations with the same goal: keeping the Bills in Buffalo

‘Securing the team in Western New York, which is the second smallest market in the NFL, became Poloncarz’s challenge once again when negotiations began in earnest two years ago with representatives of Terry and Kim Pegula, who bought the Bills from Wilson’s family after the owner’s death in 2014. This time, the players were different: Cuomo resigned in scandal and was replaced by his Buffalo-born lieutenant governor, Kathy Hochul. The Bills’ day-to-day operations were led by Ron Raccuia, the team’s chief operating officer and executive vice president. Unlike Wilson, the Pegulas did want a new stadium to replace their 50-year-old home in Orchard Park, and wanted it across the street.’

Inside the Bills: From best to worst, ranking the team’s 2023 road trips

‘The Bills haven’t been overseas since 2015, so this type of trip simply doesn’t happen that often. Life is about experiences, and this is a great one. Even if you’re not a soccer fan, there is a full slate of English Premier League games scheduled Saturday before the game, and you can check one of those off the sports bucket list. If that’s not your thing … it’s a world-class city to explore. The Jaguars were a playoff team in 2022 and have their sights set higher this year, so this game should have big implications in the AFC playoff race.

Erie County DA to look into possible Bills stadium dirt sales

‘If the dirt being sold, and came from the site, a seller could be guilty of trespassing if they weren’t authorized to be at the construction site, or they could be charged with theft if they were allowed to be on site, but didn’t get permission to take the dirt.’
