‘Johnson had one more year remaining on his deal, so this new extension carries him through 2027. The Bills were of course forced to cut ties with several defensive stars earlier this offseason in order to get under the set cap number, including safety Jordan Poyer and cornerback Tre’Davious White. But, Buffalo views the 27-year-old Johnson as a pillar on defense.’

‘To make things even more interesting, Diggs changed his Twitter bio to a picture of him waving goodbye — which could indicate his last time playing for the Bills. Diggs sent out a post with a heart emoji earlier Friday, which may be another indication he’s done in Buffalo.’

‘The former Ohio State receiver topped 60 catches and 600 yards in each of his last two seasons for the Commanders. He also gained nearly 200 yards as a runner in 2022, one year after a groin injury limited him to just five games in his Washington debut. Samuel spent the first four seasons of his NFL career in Carolina, where his production steadily rose as a multipurpose weapon alongside Christian McCaffrey. He had a career-high 77 catches for 851 yards in 2020.’

‘Dawkins previously signed a four-year, $58.3 million extension that covered the 2021 through 2024 seasons, and is headed into the final year of that contract. He carries a current base salary of $9.3 million along with a $16.6 million cap hit, according to Over the Cap, but those figures could change in conjunction with the new deal. The $20.17 million average annual value on Dawkins’ extension is fifth-highest among NFL left tackles, checking in behind only Ronnie Stanley, Andrew Thomas, Trent Williams and David Bakhtiari’s contracts.’

‘Trubisky spent the 2021 season as Josh Allen’s backup in Buffalo, throwing for 43 yards in six games played. He then scored a two-year, $14.25 million deal that included up to $27 million in incentives with the Steelers ahead of the 2022 season. The Steelers clearly targeted Trubisky in free agency, as he agreed to terms with Pittsburgh about an hour into the league’s legal tampering period.’

‘Rapp made the play that secured the Bills’ fourth straight AFC East title this past season, as he intercepted Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa with just over one minute remaining in the fourth quarter of their Week 18 showdown, securing a 21-14 victory for Buffalo. Now, the 26-year-old is locked in for three more years.’

‘This trade cannot become official until the New League Year on March 13, and the transaction is pending Bates’ physical. What’s interesting is that the Bears actually tried to poach Bates last offseason after Buffalo placed a restricted tender on the interior offensive lineman. However, Buffalo matched the offer — which was a four-year deal. Now, the Bears get Bates on the deal they initially offered.’

‘”It’s not a matter of if. It’s just a matter of when,” McDermott said of winning the Super Bowl, via The Athletic. “That is the relentless pursuit.”‘

‘Well, that certainly isn’t the case in the NFL’s AFC East division. In an interview on VladTV earlier this month, Buffalo Bills left tackle Dion Dawkins had plenty to say about the New York Jets, particularly Jets defensive lineman Michael Clemons, who he called “bitch boy.” Dawkins accused Clemons of igniting the postgame skirmish in the tunnel at Buffalo’s Highmark Stadium after a 32-6 Bills victory in Week 11.’

‘As he alluded to, Hamlin has an extensive history with the Steelers’ home stadium. Known as Acrisure Stadium, Hamlin played each of his home games on the Steelers’ field as a member of the Pitt Panthers from 2016-20. He earned All-ACC second-team honors in 2020 after leading the Panthers in tackles and pass breakups.’
