Buffalo Bills’ Damar Hamlin ‘came back hungry’ as safety competition heats up
‘“He came back hungry,” Beane said the first day of camp. “One of the things (Hamlin) said to me – and I feel like he said it to others – is, ‘I got through last year,’ last year being like the first year.

That was probably my biggest mistake of my GM days was not taking Josh [Allen].”’

Guard David Edwards feels at home with Aaron Kromer, Bills after spending ’23 as backup
‘Of the 53 games he played for the Los Angeles Rams over the first four seasons of his career, Edwards started 45. He won a Super Bowl with the Rams, but then he came to the Bills on a one-year deal and it was clear he was going to be a backup from the jump, considering they signed Connor McGovern for more money over a longer term to play left guard and drafted O’Cyrus Torrence in the second round to play right guard.’
Training Camp Takeaways: Bills practice infused with intensity on first day with pads
