‘”There are idiots everywhere. It’s frustrating,” Beane said at Bills camp this week, via NYUp.com. “You try to ignore this stuff. Josh is going into Year 7 and there’s still the naysayers. I don’t get it.”‘

‘Coleman hijacked his own introductory press conference to pontificate on the art of buying winter apparel, while also revealing that he ate at Waffle House so much, that he had his cook’s number pinned in his messages. The talented pass-catcher officially signed his rookie contract last month, but the process actually confused him.’

‘Allen has declared Kyle Allen the “vibe guy.” Undrafted out of Houston in 2018, Allen has made starts for the Houston Texans, Washington Commanders and Carolina Panthers. He actually spent the 2023 season with Josh and the Bills, but didn’t attempt a pass. Now, he’s attempting to make a roster in Pittsburgh.’

‘”Everybody is counting us out, which I’m cool with. We can fly underneath that radar and hit everybody with uppercuts. I’m perfectly fine with it, but I’m gonna support those guys from a distance. It’s definitely different, and I’m still adjusting to it. I’m trying to answer it, but I’m just adjusting to it every day, because it is different, man. It really is.”‘

‘”That’s got to be the worst place you can be in the world,” he said. “And the Buffalo wings ain’t even good. I’m throwing all types of shots at Buffalo.”‘

‘”He’s a legit golfer,” Coleman said of Allen. “I’m like, yeah, I ain’t golfing with you. We can’t bond over that. We’ve got to go throw rocks at the lake or something.”‘

‘”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.”‘

‘”My biggest individual goal is just getting back to playing my style of football,” he said, via Sports Illustrated. “It’s crazy how you get injured, and you come back, and you really shouldn’t have even been playing, and people judge you by a product on the field. I could have easily sat out all of last season, but I couldn’t do my teammates like that. I felt like being later in my career, I didn’t want to sacrifice any of my years. But at the same time, I shouldn’t have been out there.”‘

‘”Last year was last year. It was kind of [one of] those, and it’s what you expect, it’s first year off of an ACL. It’s an uphill climb,” McDermott said. “Now we’re into the second year off of the injury, excited to see what he can do, how he’s moving, and how he’s going to impact our team. I think that, quite honestly, you never count a player or person like Von Miller out.”‘

‘Other than Diggs, no pass-catcher has received more than 19.3% of the targets in a given season, according to Tru Media. Kincaid’s 16.7% target share last season was the fourth-highest of any secondary Bills target during that time, behind only Cole Beasley in 2020 and 2021, and Gabe Davis in 2022. Davis also left Buffalo this offseason, so there are an absolute ton of targets up for grabs. The Bills almost have to spread them around, as there is no Diggs-esque, All-Pro type of talent on hand.’

‘”We’ve seen the success and growth of the draft in other markets,” Bills CEO Pete Guelli told the Buffalo News. “[The NFL Draft] is the kind of [opportunity] we’re going to pursue as an organization, and we think the city of Buffalo would be absolutely perfect for this type of event. Our plan would be to express interest, and it’s competitive — there are no guarantees it will work out, but we want to go down that road.”‘

‘Steveson wrestled at the University of Minnesota, where he was a two-time winner of the Dan Hodge Trophy — college wrestling’s equivalent of the Heisman Trophy. He won the gold in freestyle wrestling at the 2020 Summer Olympics, then returned to Minnesota, where he was named Big Ten Athlete of the Year in 2022 and won two national championships and three Big Ten titles during his career.’

‘”[Brady] tells us all the time ‘everybody eats,'” wide receiver Khalil Shakir said (via the team’s official website).’

‘”I mean, listen, there’s a lot of things I think you weigh,” Beane said. “A player of his caliber, you weigh a lot of things. But ultimately, we just talked about the (salary) cap. … I don’t need to go through all the reasons why we decided to go ahead and do that. I would say, from a cap standpoint, we decided just to go ahead and eat it out now. We think we can compete and do what we need to do by eating it now. Because if we didn’t, if we tried to come up with some way to split it up too many different ways, it’s just like that albatross hanging on your neck all year. … What’s ’25 look like? What’s ’26?”‘

‘”In case you needed another reason to love @keoncoleman6: My friend’s son wrote him a letter and sent it with these bracelets…” she wrote. “And Keon wore them for his rookie pics. This boy’s day was MADE.”‘
