Three things to like about Bills 1st rounder Dalton Kincaid
‘Not getting wrapped up in a great or bad play can be challenging for some, especially rookies. But Beane mentioned Kincaid’s composure is strong. At rookie minicamps, Kincaid said it was ingrained a while back. “I kind of got it in high school,” Kincaid said. “My receiver coach called it the ‘five second rule.’ You can be angry about it or happy about it for five seconds but at that point, it doesn’t really matter.”’

Analysis: Terry Pegula’s new leaders are in, and Ron Raccuia is out. What does it mean for the Buffalo Bills?
‘His job was to get the deal done – which happened – and oversee the team that is managing the stadium development. Now, presumably, Roth or Terry Pegula himself will manage that team – which became one person bigger with another hire announced Wednesday: Penny Semaia, a senior associate athletic director at the University of Pittsburgh,’

Dane Jackson even-keeled as Buffalo Bills cornerback competition ramps up
‘“Obviously, since he’s been here, when we picked him in the seventh round I believe, it was purely off of football DNA and toughness and what we got, what we realized, was a really good athlete that’s competitive as hell,” Butler said in May. “And that’s what he’s shown ever since he’s been here. And he’s had a great offseason knowing that obviously everybody is competing for that spot – maybe what might be perceived as his spot.’
Bills position preview: Tre’Davious White impresses as other questions linger at cornerback
‘It’s quite possible the Bills will put off that decision for a bit. Last season, when Benford got the Week 1 start opposite Jackson, it was, at least to the public, a game-time call. No matter when exactly the players knew, two days before the game, McDermott said that they were “still working through” which of the two rookies would start, and he said that it was not strictly a competitive advantage in waiting to name one.’

Bills training camp questions: Which one-year contract players could play key roles?
‘DE Leonard Floyd: Getting Floyd so late in free agency feels like a steal for Beane. He is a proven pass rusher with 29 sacks in his last three seasons for the Rams, and he’s an ideal replacement until Von Miller is ready to return. Even then, Floyd will be a big part of the rotation, likely pushing A.J. Epenesa or Boogie Basham into a diminished role.’
Buffalo Bills part ways with EVP Ron Raccuia, Terry Pegula takes over as team president

No chance? Buffalo Bills disrespected by ESPN panel
‘“I don’t think anybody is sleeping on Buffalo,” Riddick stated. “I mean, we know the Buffalos are good, we know that Josh (Allen) is good, we know that they need to take some of the load off of him as far as the run game is concerned, and make sure that longevity becomes something that is at the forefront of their minds. We also know that this is a football team that has shown cracks in the foundation.”’
