‘What used to be the iconic team of Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs on the side of Moor Room is now Allen and Keon Coleman, the Bills’ first pick in this year’s NFL Draft.’

Out with the old, in with Keon Coleman
‘In a social media post made by Zoom Buffalo they wrote “The things we spend the least time thinking about and almost don’t do … are adored the most.” In the post they also attached a video showing an artist adding a yellow jacket to what was formerly Stefon Diggs and now is Keon Coleman.’
AFC power rankings: Chiefs rule, Jets present a huge challenge to Bills
‘The Bills bid adieu to seven veteran starters. The roster is retooled. How quickly can Sean McDermott and his coaching staff get all the new pieces to fit seamlessly together and start producing at a high level? The Bills have enough speed on offense to suggest they can compensate for the loss of Stefon Diggs by spreading the ball around even more than they did last season. A lot is riding on new wideouts Keon Coleman and Curtis Samuel. The defense is solid. But the Bills will need step-up performances from Von Miller, Greg Rousseau and the new safety tandem if they want to win the AFC East again.’
Wegmans’ allergen-free food drive carries special meaning for Bills coach Sean McDermott
‘The cause impacts Sean and Jamie McDermott’s family on a daily basis. Their two oldest children, daughter Maddie and son Gavin, were diagnosed with food allergies at a young age.’
Bills’ Keon Coleman, discounted Macy’s coat and all, has his first mural in Buffalo (Look)
‘On Tuesday, Coleman’s new found fame in Buffalo was on display on Hertel Avenue in Buffalo. A mural that once featured quarterback Josh Allen and wide receiver Stefon Diggs now features Allen and Coleman. And yes, Coleman is donning his discounted yellow Macy’s winter jacket in the mural.’
New draftee Ray Davis appears to be clear example of Bills value on running backs
‘The knock over the past 20 years is that running backs break down early, and with an emphasis on the passing game, they are valued less financially and in the draft, with five backs taken in the first round over the last five years and six were taken in the first round in 2000. And in an attempt to decrease wear and tear, teams have gone to a rotation in the backfield, but it hasn’t lengthened many careers.’
Ray Davis’ former position coach on what he will bring to Buffalo: ‘Bills Mafia man, you’re going to get a great one.’
‘“He really worked hard trimming down,” Boulware said. “He improved his explosive runs. He had fewer carries and more yards here at Kentucky, so I think that says a lot about the guy and how hard he works,” Boulware said.’
10 veteran free agents who might still interest the Bills
‘CB Stephon Gilmore: A former first-round draft pick of the Bills in 2012, Gilmore has entered the journeyman portion of his career, playing for four teams over the past four seasons. Although he’ll turn 34 in September, Gilmore, like Campbell, played at a high level last season. For the Cowboys, he started all 17 games, making 13 passes defensed and two interceptions. He also set a career high with 68 tackles. It’s possible Gilmore is holding out for a starting job somewhere, but if the Bills wanted to add veteran depth behind projected starters Christian Benford and Rasul Douglas, Gilmore would be more than just a reunion storyline.’
Tom Brady takes jab at Buffalo Bills in Netflix roast
‘“I don’t want to get the NFL too upset,” Brady said. “I’m trying to buy a piece of the Raiders. I’m tired of owning just the Colts and the Bills.”’
NFL Schedule: Could we see the Buffalo Bills play on Thanksgiving or Christmas in 2024?
‘In an interview with It’s Always Gameday in Buffalo hosted by WGR 550’s Sal Capaccio and Bove, North says the Bills are still one of the top draws in the NFL. He says with the combination of Josh Allen and recent success, the Bills are still one of the must-see teams when the schedule is finalized. So spoiler alert, get used to the prime-time games for at least one more season.’
Bills roundtable: Let the expectations, worrying begin for 2024 roster
‘I see Bishop following the same path as O’Cyrus Torrence did last year. When the Bills drafted Torrence, they had a capable veteran, Ryan Bates, penciled in to start at right guard. Instead, they went to training camp, and Torrence won the job outright. The coaching staff didn’t stand in the way of a rookie earning playing time. With Bishop, a similar situation is shaping up. The Bills could start veterans Taylor Rapp and Mike Edwards at safety, but if Bishop goes to training camp and proves he’s the better option, there is no reason to hold him back. I say he starts in Week 1.’
NFL insider reveals why New England Patriots feel ‘jaded’ with Buffalo Bills
‘In an appearance on Pats Daily with Taylor Kyles, Wolfe revealed that the Patriots were not happy about how things unfolded at the end of Round 1. Wolfe said that New England feels that Buffalo shopped the Patriots’ trade agreement with the Panthers to work out a deal for the No. 32 pick.’
Diggs is gone, but No. 14 will still line up at wide receiver for the Bills
‘Chris Brown, co-host of “One Bills Live,” recently posted on social media that newly acquired wide receiver Chase Claypool has claimed the number.’
‘Cole is a dude:’ Since high school, new Bills safety Bishop has been quick study
‘“Probably one of the most consensus players on our board,” Bills General Manager Brandon Beane said. “Everybody saw the same thing. You love the leadership and intelligence. He had a lot of the DNA we look for in all of our players, but especially (safety). That’s part of the excitement to get a player like him.”’
Bills Mailbag: Which rookies can be immediate contributors?
‘There are quite a few. Shakir is a good one, as is Curtis Samuel. The likelihood of both of them being in the top three receivers certainly went up. Not taking a boundary cornerback is good news for both Rasul Douglas and Christian Benford. Not taking a center until the fifth round is good news for Connor McGovern, whose hold on the starting job got stronger. Not taking a quarterback is good news for Shane Buechele, who should be the No. 3 at the position, either on the practice squad or active roster. Heck, not taking a kicker is good news for Tyler Bass.’
