‘Among returning Buffalo pass-catchers, Dalton Kincaid had the most targets from Josh Allen last year at 91, more than any 2023 Bills except Stefon Diggs, who got his typical huge share of looks at 160. But, with Diggs in Houston and Allen’s wide receiver core full of newcomers, could Kincaid be in for an even heavier workload in his second season as a pro?’

Bills camp Day 2: Curtis Samuel breaks out, Mack Hollins shines (Observations)
‘“(Allen will be) like, ‘Hey guys, this is what I’m thinking. Let’s stop the tape. This is where my feet are (on a certain play).

Brady discusses offensive identity/playmakers, Allen’s growing leadership at Day 2 of Bills camp

These are full-field progressions. It really forces the guys to understand at any given moment, you can be on any of these spots and you have to know it. They have to know it all. That’s been a big point.”’
Bills remain healthy as Samuel, Hollins among stars during Day 2 of training camp
‘Samuel was all over the field during 11 on 11 team drills, catching passes at various locations.

Training Camp Takeaways: Bills getting new receivers up to speed by feeding them early
‘The Bills haven’t wasted any time integrating Hollins and the other new receivers into the offense. The 6-foot-4 Hollins saw a significant amount of time with the first-team offense during red zone drills on the opening day of practice and he was once again featured in 11-on-11 sessions Thursday, making three grabs, including a laser from Josh Allen that zipped between cornerback Christian Benford and safety Mike Edwards for a completion.’
Bills GM fumes over anonymous exec ripping Josh Allen: ‘Idiots everywhere’
‘“I don’t know where to start. It’s frustrating,” Beane said during Bills training camp on Wednesday. “You try to ignore this stuff, but Josh is going into Year 7 and there’s still the naysayers.

Bills’ Von Miller says he ‘should not’ have played last year
‘”That’s probably what should have happened, but I didn’t want that to happen,” Miller said. “I wanted to be out there and play. If I was 50%, like, nobody was going to stop me from going out there. [Bills general manager Brandon] Beane wasn’t, nobody was going to stop me from going out there. But the truth, just being honest with you guys, my knee wasn’t at a place where I could go, and I could move, and I could do the things that I wanted to do. I mean, I could play, but that was just about it.”‘
Watch: Bills’ Keon Coleman asks important question before signing his rookie contract
‘Coleman hijacked his own introductory press conference to pontificate on the art of buying winter apparel, while also revealing that he ate at Waffle House so much, that he had his cook’s number pinned in his messages. The talented pass-catcher officially signed his rookie contract last month, but the process actually confused him.’
Bills’ Josh Allen reveals his dream golf foursome of current NFL players
‘Allen has declared Kyle Allen the “vibe guy.” Undrafted out of Houston in 2018, Allen has made starts for the Houston Texans, Washington Commanders and Carolina Panthers. He actually spent the 2023 season with Josh and the Bills, but didn’t attempt a pass. Now, he’s attempting to make a roster in Pittsburgh.’
Josh Allen may have already found his new No. 1 target
‘Kincaid went up to get an Allen pass in end zone and came down with a score. This could become a familiar sight for Allen and Kincaid in 2024. With all the new faces, Kincaid could be the de facto No. 1 receiver in the Bills’ offense.’

On Thursday, Edwards took that spot with Rapp and the rest of the starting defense, with Hamlin moving back to the second unit with rookie Cole Bishop.’
