‘”With Damar’s situation, like I mentioned in the spring, he has our full support, and always will,” McDermott told reporters Wednesday. “We’ll continue to take it one day at a time, and we’ll go at his cadence.

Coach Sean McDermott: Bills ‘in good spot’ with Stefon Diggs

‘”That’s my sentiment with any player, in particular a player as important to us as Stef,” McDermott said in June. “And so, I get concerned when players miss for reasons off the field, for reasons on the field. Whether it be they’re injured or whatever it is. That’s just how I am. So, when I say very concerned, I’m very concerned because of the situation with one of our players, and it was something that we needed to work through and those are healthy conversations that happen and I’m extremely appreciative of those conversations. It gets us, when you have those healthy conversations, it gets you to a better spot. And I feel good about that. I feel like we’re in that spot.”‘

Super Bowls. … We’ve been trying to get over the hump. It’s all water under the bridge now. I attribute it to family matters. All is well. Now we’re back to work.”‘

Beane takes no issue with Diggs wanting to win

‘”‘Stef’ just wants to win. Nothing wrong with that,” said Beane in his comments during his meeting with the media at training camp on Wednesday, “We all do it in different ways. ‘Stef’ is in a good spot, the offseason is the offseason, and we’re all going separate ways, especially players. That last game ends, you don’t get to go back and review the film with everyone and see what happened… it’s tough.”‘

McDermott looking forward to building closer relationships with players

‘This season for the Bills will, once again, be filled with higher expectations, even after Buffalo’s loss in the AFC Divisional Round this past January against the Cincinnati Bengals. However, the competition in the AFC, especially the division, continues to get more challenging.’
