‘The ninth overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft, Oliver was an instant-impact player for the Bills during his rookie season, recording 43 tackles and five sacks. He underwent core muscle surgery in January, but it is unclear whether he could return to the team’s facility once it is safe to reopen. The NFL sent a memo to teams allowing them to open their facilities in a limited capacity beginning May 19 — as long as they abide by county guidelines.’

‘Police were alerted to Oliver’s driving by a 911 call from another motorist, who reported a Ford Superduty pickup hauling a trailer with a dune buggy on it through a 45 mph construction zone on State Highway 242, according to MontgomeryCountyPoliceReporter.com. The 911 caller noted that Oliver was “failing to maintain a lane and driving dangerously,” according to the report.’

‘”As far as the timing regarding doing some scrimmaging [with] some other teams, the two teams that we spoke to way back in the offseason were Miami and Buffalo,” Quinn said. “And so if those guidelines are in place that we’re able to, we will. And then obviously if they’re not, we won’t.”‘

‘Fromm is the first quarterback Buffalo has drafted since taking current starter Josh Allen in the first round in 2018. Fromm said he already received a congratulatory text from Allen, with whom he shares an agent.’

‘Sandwiched between two buns are the restaurant’s signature Bacon Bleu patty (topped with crumbled bleu cheese, thick-cut bacon, cheese and creamy bleu cheese spread); Demon patty (demon-spiced burger with jalapeños, banana peppers, cheese and garlic Parmesan mayo); Vinny patty (with Mozzarella cheese, pepperoni and cherry pepper bruschetta); and topped Rodeo patty (with onion rings, cheese and house loganberry brown-sugar BBQ sauce).’

‘”I candidly did not expect Tom to leave,” said Beane, who was 0-for-6 against Brady but is disappointed to no longer face him twice a year.’

‘”He’s so energetic, the way he talks to people. I envy that,” Bills right guard Jon Feliciano laughed. “I don’t have the energy for that, how does he do it? Kids love Dion … everyone’s kids I see on the team just run to Dion. He is so good at talking.”‘

‘The three quarterbacks lift together in a friend’s 40-square-foot garage. Allen said they make sure to practice social distancing as much as possible.’

‘Before his injury in 2018, Williams had been in line for a big contract after a 2017 season in which he started 16 games for the Panthers at right tackle. Pro Football Focus gave the 2015 fourth-round pick out of Oklahoma a grade of 78.0 that ranked third among right tackles in the NFL.’

‘Poyer came to Buffalo as part of coach Sean McDermott’s first free-agent class in 2017 and forms one of the NFL’s best safety duos alongside Micah Hyde.’

‘Phillips’ departure left an opening behind 2019 first-round pick Ed Oliver, Star Lotulelei and Harrison Phillips. Jefferson should split reps at three-technique defensive tackle but could also be used at defensive end, where the Bills are also relatively thin.’

‘”We’re not gonna go in and just throw a bunch of money at receivers or anything like that, but we’ll try to find [players],” he said in January. “I don’t think we’re one player away. I never think you are, and I definitely don’t think we’re one player away. You lose the first round of the playoffs that doesn’t say to me that the Bills are one player away from being exactly where they want to be.’

‘Diggs showed signs of visible frustration last season, which boiled over following a Week 4 loss at Chicago. The wide receiver was fined $200,000 for unexcused absences from practices and team meetings the following week. The star wide receiver said then that he hadn’t “communicated anything” in regard to requesting a trade but that there was “truth to all rumors” amid the assumption that he was unhappy with the state of the Vikings’ offense, which had shifted toward a run-first approach, and his role within it.’

‘Considered undersized for an every-down end in a 4-3 scheme, the 6-foot-3, 254-pound Addison wasn’t a full-time starter until 2017, when he started all 16 games. He responded with a career-best 11 sacks after signing a three-year, $22.5 million extension during the offseason.’

‘His numbers have been remarkably consistent: 54 tackles and two sacks in 12 games in 2017; 70 tackles and two sacks in 2018; 69 tackles and 2.5 sacks in 2019. He had one interception in each of the past two seasons, including his first career touchdown last season.’
