‘Lance is still in the NFC, which is notable. The 49ers were focused on shipping Lance out of the conference to the AFC, according to The Athletic, but that did not happen. In fact, the Buffalo Bills made an offer for Lance, but failed to beat out the Cowboys, per the Mercury News.’

‘Johnson spent the last three seasons with the New York Jets, but was released by the team back in April after tearing his pec during an offseason workout. This report that has Johnson jumping aboard with Buffalo also notes that he has been cleared medically with the pec injury.’

‘”When you see my cleats laced up and my helmet and shoulder pads on, there ain’t gonna be no hesitation. Because you can’t play this game like that. You’ll put yourself at more risk by hesitating. When I’m out there, I’m just not thinking twice, I’m just playing my game and playing how I was taught to play since I was my little brother’s age.”‘

‘”Trying to look forward, it just creates a lot of anxiety, a lot of unnecessary feelings,” he said. “If you stay in the moment, it allows you to process it when you’re there.”‘

‘Allen joined FanDuel’s Kay Adams on “Up & Adams” and weighed in on Kelce’s plan to gift Swift a friendship bracelet with his number on it. Asked what he would have use to attract a global superstar like Swift, Allen swatted down Kelce’s present. “Not friendship bracelets,” Allen said.’

‘”No one called on Diggs,” Beane said on “The Pat McAfee Show” this week. “I think people know that he’s ours, and we wouldn’t (do that) — even if there was an issue — and he was never asking to be traded. That never came up. I’ve got a great relationship with his agent, Adisa Bakari. So it was truly never an issue. It was just more us getting in a room and talking through how last season finished and getting on the same page.”‘

‘”I feel like Gabe Davis will have a breakout year,” Diggs said. “I feel like he had got nicked up a little early last year, but I think this year he’s gonna have an amazing year. He’s damn near WR1 in my eyes. I feel like if I wasn’t here, Gabe Davis would be a WR1 and it’s something that I can hang my hat on when I say that. He’s an extremely hard worker.”‘

‘”It feels amazing [to be back],” Hamlin said Monday at a post-practice press conference. “It’s a rollercoaster of emotions. I was kind of all over the place being back for the first time. God doesn’t make mistakes, I’m on God’s timing. As much as the NFL is on schedule, this is God’s timing. That’s my strength in all this right now. I pretty much lost my life playing this sport, so to come back and do it all again, it’s all over the place. I’m rooted in my faith. I’m rooted in love from my family, my teammates, and love all around the world.”‘

‘At first glance, Kincaid simply moves differently than any other tight end on the roster. He exudes fluidity off the snap, when running his routes, and after the catch. That forward “lean” description typically reserved for speedy receivers and backs emanates from each stride Kincaid makes on the field.’

‘”Everybody has family issues,” Diggs told reporters Wednesday. “Everybody has family problems. I was here (in the spring), I did have a conversation with Coach, and I like to keep things in-house. … My main focus and my only focus is winning. Super Bowls. … We’ve been trying to get over the hump. It’s all water under the bridge now. I attribute it to family matters. All is well. Now we’re back to work.”‘

‘The veteran was acquired by the Bills at last year’s in-season trade deadline and was expected to at least serve as the team’s top kick and punt returner. A former change-of-pace back with the Colts, he would’ve also offered experience as a secondary pass catcher.’

‘”I believe that everybody that came out regardless of why you came out is truly equipping yourself with a super-power,” Hamlin said at the event. “Being able to have a life-saving tool and to have that with you when you walk around in any room, you pretty much can consider yourself a super-hero.”‘
