Sean McDermott denies ‘animated’ conversation with Eagles, reiterates support for banning ‘tush push’
‘“I feel where I’m most concerned is, even though there is not significant data out there to this point, my biggest concern is the health and safety of the players, first and foremost,” McDermott said Monday morning at the AFC head coaches’ breakfast, which is part of the NFL’s annual meeting. “It’s force, added force, No. 1, and then the posture of the players being asked to execute that type of play.

Bills’ Pete Guelli: New Highmark Stadium ‘is going to open on time’ for summer 2026

Massive with ‘intriguing quickness,’ this 331-pounder may be good fit for Bills in draft
‘I certainly can’t argue with the logic because everything about Grant screams Buffalo. At 6-foot-4 and 331 pounds, he is exactly the type of player the Bills need in the soft and undersized middle of their defensive line, but it just feels like it would be an upset if Grant were still sitting there in the late hours of Thursday night, April 24, when it’s time for the Bills to finally go on the clock.’

Bills’ Recent Extensions Show Success of Brandon Beane’s Plan
‘“There’s a lot of time sitting around like this between practices,” says Beane. “Just what I felt was a group that enjoyed the, Hey, people don’t believe in us. They think we missed our opportunity—including Josh Allen. And like, Oh, you can’t win without … you know, some of the players that we moved on from. And I think that was kind of like, We’re not gonna say anything, say what you want. And that’s probably what gave me the most confidence is, you felt an edge, a chip on this group. But they still had to go do it.”’
Are the Buffalo Bills gearing up to trade James Cook?
‘The star running back led the NFL with 16 rushing touchdowns in 2024, and he has made it very known that he wants to get extended, and has hinted that he wants $15 million per season. Speaking at the NFL owners meetings, Bills general manager said that the Bills are done with contract extensions for the year and they are “on to the draft.” This immediately led to questions wondering what’s next with Cook and the Bills. Will he get extended next offseason? Will he get tagged and eventually walk in free agency? Or will the Bills explore a trade for the running back who wants his money?’
