‘The 28-year-old put together two career years in Washington. In 2020, McKissic racked up 954 yards from scrimmage and three touchdowns in 16 games played, and in 2021, he recorded 609 yards from scrimmage and four touchdowns in 11 games played. McKissic served as the receiving back for Washington while Antonio Gibson handled more of the work on the ground. McKissic was Washington’s second leading receiver in 2021, and third in 2020.’

‘It’s possible Williams could return to Buffalo on a new contract later this offseason, but for now, he’s free to negotiate with other teams as free agency gets underway.’

‘”We’ll look at everything,” Bills general manager Brandon Beane said on WGR 500 Tuesday. “Definitely guys that have higher cap numbers like that you look at everything, whether it’s restructuring it, adding years. We’ll look at everything. You can definitely know we will look at Stef’s contract at some point and see if there is something that makes sense for both sides. But we haven’t begun any conversations with him at this point.”‘

‘Beasley is set to turn 33 this offseason, but he has been playing some of his best football since ditching the NFC East for the AFC East. He caught a career-high 82 passes for 967 yards and four touchdowns in 2020, and again recorded 82 catches for 693 yards and a touchdown in 2021. Garafolo reports that there is indeed interest from other teams.’

‘”Ours is going to be more instead of one possession and then you get the other possession, is a time, similar to in basketball, you play five minutes,” Beane said, via the Associated Press. “Baseball, both teams get the top half and the bottom half (of an inning). So a time limit, and I’m talking about postseason only. That way, both teams will definitely have a chance and maybe even more than one possession.”‘

‘It should be noted that the 32-year-old said that he would be taking some time before ultimately deciding on his future in the NFL back in late January. With free agency set to open up in roughly two weeks, it would appear like rubber is set to meet the road in a decision from Gronkowski.’

‘Williams said that he hopes to stay in contact with the Bills, who may be looking to beef up their receiving corps with Emmanuel Sanders expected to hit free agency. Williams also offered an update on his physical status as he is six weeks removed from surgery after suffering a torn ACL injury during the National Championship Game. He said that he has been walking for the past two weeks and has primarily been doing pool workouts.’

‘The Bills enter free agency projected to be over the 2022 cap, but Neal was considered a priority alongside veteran starters Jerry Hughes and Levi Wallace, who are still set to hit the open market in March. The Jacksonville State product logged a career-high 12 special teams tackles in 2021, helping lead a unit that ranked in the top 10, per Rick Gosselin’s annual special teams rankings. Neal was also part of two special-teams takeaways during his contract year, forcing a fumble and recovering another.’

‘”Going to Buffalo really opened my eyes,” said Trubisky, via ESPN. “After being in Chicago for four years, there was only one way I knew how to do things. [Being] in Buffalo and [having] a different way of doing things, you learn what’s possible. It helped me get back to instinctual football and using my talents rather than overthinking.”‘

‘Of course, it makes sense that the Bills want to protect their investment in their star quarterback. Buffalo’s offensive line has been solid, if not necessarily spectacular over these past couple seasons, so it also makes sense that the Bills would seek upgrades up front. We have seen in each of the last two Super Bowls just how important it is for an offensive line to hold up against relentless pressure. Buffalo hasn’t been to the Super Bowl yet, but solidifying the line could help them get there.’

‘The Bills are likely to be Super Bowl contenders again next season, but Sanders won a ring already during his time with the Denver Broncos, so it’s not like he still has that one thing left to shoot for. Sanders was drafted back in 2010, and he’s had a long, successful career during which he has played for five teams, catching 704 passes for 9,245 yards and 51 touchdowns. He’s dealt with injuries in recent years and saw his effectiveness markedly decline over the second half of this season, so perhaps he feels it is simply time to hang up his spikes.’

‘This might leave the AFC in a bit of a pickle, having to now identify another alternate, and potentially more than one. With Jackson and Allen now out, that leaves only Justin Herbert as starter with Patrick Mahomes as the only backup, but the latter is preparing to play in the AFC Championship and hopes to punch his ticket to Super Bowl LVI at SoFi Stadium. If he does, he won’t be available for the Pro Bowl on Sunday, Feb. 6 in Las Vegas, leaving only Herbert on the roster.’

‘Chiefs fans began donating $13 each to the hospital thanks to a post from the Facebook account “Chiefs Kingdom Memes.” The $13 figure, of course, is a nod to the 13 seconds the Chiefs had left on their final drive of regulation. On the drive, Patrick Mahomes hit Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce for gains of 19 and 25 to set up a game-tying 49-yard field goal from Harrison Butker as time expired.’

‘When it comes to a potential candidate to replace Daboll, Jones also reported that Allen has been highly complimentary of Bills quarterbacks coach Ken Dorsey. Daboll, who has been a part of six combined championship staffs between college and the NFL, has served as the Bills offensive coordinator since 2018. He’s had a hand in helping the young Allen develop into one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, as Buffalo has finished in the top five in total offense over the past two seasons.’

‘Booth would provide the Bills not only a player at a position of need, he’d give Buffalo’s secondary more juice by way of his lightning-quick feet and downfield speed. Booth was the No. 2 cornerback recruit in the nation in 2019. He has plenty of experience — and highlight-reel interceptions — on the perimeter. He’d be the perfect running mate with Tre’Davious White in the Bills’ defensive backfield.’
