‘“It seemed like a great spot for me,” Trubisky said. “I was there two years ago. It was a great organization, and I have a great relationship with Josh and the offensive staff. Just going back there felt like home and a good position for me and my family. I’m excited to be back there and be a Buffalo Bill again. Hopefully we can do some special things this year.”’

Buffalo’s A.J. Epenesa with big plans for 2024 after navigating free agency
‘Epenesa’s agent fielded all the phone calls. There were two to three teams showing interest in Epenesa. “He was the middle man relaying messages as he was talking to this person and that person. It was really weird waiting for calls and just hearing the new updates and then having to make a decision by the end of that phone call,” Epenesa said. The phone call Epenesa was hoping for came when Buffalo coach Sean McDermott was on the other line.’

Why Bills trust Quintin Morris in any role at tight end
‘“He’s earned the confidence of the offensive coaches,” Boras said of Morris, who is heading into his fourth season with the team. “We have all the faith in him to go in at a moment’s notice and perform, whether it’s in-line blocking or in the pass game. I think once he’s seen how much that we trust him, it’s built some confidence in himself.”’
Bills position preview: Front office runs it back at tight end
‘Former offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey never fully used both of them at the same time, which was thought to be the plan when General Manager Brandon Beane traded up to draft Kincaid, so Brady will be left to figure out the best possible way of maximizing the ‘12’ formation (one running back and two tight ends on the field at the same time).’
Buffalo Bills’ Keon Coleman not feeling the pressure of replacing Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis
‘Coleman will certainly factor into Buffalo’s offense in 2024, but his mindset is right where it needs to be. With Dalton Kincaid, Khalil Shakir, James Cook, Dawson Knox returning and some new faces via free agency, there will be plenty of players who complement one another well to give Josh Allen plenty of options on the field.’

Connor McGovern is ‘going back home’ to center on Bills’ offensive line. Here’s why that matters
‘“It’s hard to believe but I was actually undersized in high school,” said McGovern. “So I was always the center because I was usually the smallest one. Then once I hit my growth spurt finally, I just stayed at center. I went to Penn State as a center. Moved to guard then went back to center. It was always something natural. I always liked being the guy right in the middle. It was always comfortable to me.”’
Bills position preview: Stoutness of middle three looks like asset for offensive line
‘The addition of rookie mauler O’Cyrus Torrence at right guard and powerful Connor McGovern at left guard added more of a road-grading element to the Bills’ running game.

‘”Not at all,” Coleman said, when asked if he feels added pressure to replace his predecessors. “All I gotta do is come in, be myself, be who I’m supposed to be … Because I’m not Gabe, I’m not Stef, I’m just Keon. We got a lot of other guys that definitely complement my game … along with [quarterback] Josh [Allen], to make things work.”‘
