Notes from the NFL combine: Mike Vrabel’s record against Bills might soon take a hit

‘During his playing career, Vrabel’s Patriots teams went 16-2 against the Bills. Since the departures of quarterback Tom Brady and coach Bill Belichick, as well as the arrival of Bills quarterback Josh Allen, the rivalry has gone lopsided in the other direction. The Bills have gone 8-3 in their last 11 games against New England, and one of those losses came with Buffalo’s backups playing in a meaningless game.’

Here’s what Bills GM said about James Cook & lofty contract demand

‘“I love James. James is a beautiful man, he really is,” Beane said. “I want James here, hopefully, like a lot of guys. The business is the business. Would I prefer we don’t take the business outside? Yes, I think that’s always the best way to handle it. But James is a grown man, and he’ll handle it the way he does. It doesn’t change my view of him.”’

Bills drop 12 spots to 23rd in NFLPA report card

‘The NFL Players Association polled 1,695 players to provide information about their current teams. Players are asked to vote on nine categories — family treatment, cafeteria, nutritionists/dieticians, locker room, training room, training staff, weight room, strength coaches, team travel, head coach and owner.’

Bills earn F-minus grade in team travel, GM Beane responds

‘”We put a lot of our players up [in first or business class] on the outbound [flights], we don’t put as many on the return, because depending on when we get back, some of the coaches are up there working on breaking down this film, getting ready for the next week,” Beane said. “So, if anyone’s complaining about not being up there, it couldn’t be on the outbound and maybe would be more on the return.”‘

Bills’ General Manager Has Amazing Quote About His Own Courage

‘”Anything that’s right that can help our team, yes. I would not flinch,” said Beane. “I don’t know, I say this on the golf course, I’m a lot of things, but scared ain’t one of them. So yes, anything that can help our roster, that fit and not cripple us in another way, yes we would definitely do it.”‘

Buffalo Bills get very poor report card from NFL players union

‘The Buffalo Bills ranked 23rd in the 2025 edition of the report cards – a big fall from 11th place last year. And while the Bills didn’t have many egregious grades for the most part, there was one category in which they ranked dead last – team travel. They Bills were given an F- grade in that category. However, across every other category, they only had one grade lower than a B-, which went to their training staff. For how many injuries they sustained last season, that feels like a fair grade.’

Bills head coach Sean McDermott graded as one of worst coaches in NFL

‘McDermott was given a B grade, but his total grade ranked 27th out of 32 head coaches. And while fans have had their issues with McDermott in the past, this season felt like a large turning point. The notoriously conservative coach became more aggressive and trusted in his All-World quarterback to make plays in the biggest moments while overcoming several departures to put together one of the best seasons in team history.’

Opinion: Interpreting the Bills’ brain trust

‘But there’s no way the Bills will pay Cook $15 million a year because of the position he plays and the fact he was on the field for less than 50% of the offensive snaps in 2024. That type of salary is Christian McCaffrey and Saquon Barkley money.’
