Why the Bills need to draft a wide receiver in first or second round
‘Diggs will be 31 in November, it seems like he’s starting to go into gradual decline, and there’s a possibility the Bills could move on from him after the 2024 season, even though the dead cap hit would be steep. If not 2024, certainly after 2025. Hollins is on a one-year contract and he’s likely nothing more than a special teams contributor as opposed to a reliable offensive option.’

‘Was never going to be easy’: Experts discuss reaction to rumored PSL prices at new Buffalo Bills stadium
‘”They are going to be staged, they are going to be flighted cost-wise, based upon, again, supply and demand,” said Cimperman. “When you start to get into the corners, the end zones, and upstairs, historically — I haven’t seen the pricing, but historically — in other venues that pricing is less than it is for premium 50-yard-line seats.”‘
What the Bills are saying about the new kickoff format + other rule changes for the 2024 NFL season
‘”The two hot areas that we need to address are some of the injury data that’s coming off of the play, one, and then two is: this needs to be a real play,” said Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott to SiriusXM at the NFL owners meetings. “That’s how the game was constructed years and years ago and keeping the form and structure of that in our game is important. That the fans can see an exciting play but it doesn’t go to extremes.”‘
Sean McDermott: Bills moving on from Tre’Davious White ‘tragic in some ways’

Ryan O’Halloran: By resetting Bills now, Brandon Beane avoids rebuild later

By comparison, 15 Bills who played in the January 2023 playoff loss to Cincinnati did not return. But this kind of turnover felt different because it is different.’
Brandon Beane: Bills got a ‘raw deal’ from NFL in compensatory draft pick process
‘“It did surprise me,” he said Sunday here at the NFL’s annual meetings. “I think us and San Francisco, we got a raw deal. I don’t want to give a full thing, but we had separate Zooms with the league trying to go through how it was calculated, because by even their accounts, as we were checking with them through the year, we clearly had a third-rounder.”’
Bills notebook: Beane gives insight on restructured Miller deal; Hyde still deciding
‘“I thought Von did something I don’t know that many people would’ve done, because he took less than what he was guaranteed, and say what you want, whether you thought he’s performed to the level or not,” Beane said Sunday. “He definitely did prior to the injury. Last year was tough. We saw that with Tre’Davious (White) trying to work back from his injury. I do think Von will look more like the Von we know coming into this year.”’
For Highmark, having its name on the Bills stadium is just the start
‘“For Highmark to make the biggest splash, obviously, was to partner with the biggest local brand, and there’s no local brand bigger than the Buffalo Bills,” said Matt Low, chief creative officer at Crowley Webb. “When they secured the naming rights, it was all systems go on our end on how we could capitalize on this (opportunity).”’
‘You don’t replace people like that.’ McDermott reflects on release of key Bills players
‘“I mean, you don’t replace people like that,” McDermott continued. “They were, call them the pillars of us getting this culture changed in the right direction and laying that foundation. When you go 17 years not making the playoffs, you bring in players and people like the ones you mentioned, and they made a huge impact on our organization on the field, but also off the field. Their leadership, I think, will be felt for years to come.”’

Bills don’t see glaring holes, but aren’t done restocking offensive weapons
‘“I think we’re a work in progress roster wise when you look at it,” Bills coach Sean McDermott said Monday at the NFL owners meetings. “… We’re not content with being where we are and you’ve constantly got to reinvent yourself, evolve both schematically and roster-wise, trying to stay ahead of it. When people want you to zig, you zag and I think that’s the importance of evolving in this situation.”’
