‘“Without getting into things, there’s been constant communication with his agent, either with myself or Kevin Meganck (Vice President of Football Administration),” Beane said. “At the end of the day, I wish we weren’t here. This is my ninth season here, we’ve never had a player miss due to a contract or anything like that, so that’s disappointing for me.’

‘What this has done is allow several down the depth chart players into the mix and there are several who are making strong cases to either make the team (still a huge uphill fight, especially if the Bills keep only five) or the practice squad.’

‘“When he introduced himself and said where he was from, it kind of gave me a little bit of ease of, hey, okay, he knows our fan base, he knows our culture, he knows the traditions of the Buffalo Bills and what matters to the people, and he’s a little bit more invested, naturally, when you’re from this area,” McDermott said the other day before a camp practice.’

‘It includes two cheeseburgers, two medium fries and a 20-piece chicken McNuggets, all for $14.99. It will be packed in a new box that celebrates the passion, energy and loyalty of Bills fans. The box also includes a nod to the current Highmark Stadium ahead of the team’s anticipated move next season.’

‘For a team that has practiced in full pads only three times at the start of training camp, the Buffalo Bills have a massive injury list that grew since their practice at Highmark Stadium Friday night.’

‘Cook was not on that list, but when the workout began, he was not in uniform. Instead, he was wearing an all-white sweat suit with a knit hat. Everyone assumed that it was a veteran rest day for the running back, but afterward it became clear that it was not.’

‘That injury is one of many on the lengthy list of players held out of training camp Sunday at St. John Fisher, but may be the most concerning.’

‘Beloved Bills coach celebrates 100th birthday and his legacy is still going strong.’

‘Perhaps the most recognized Marvism as we reporters liked to call them, because it still lives on today and probably will for as long as the Bills franchise exists. But here are a few of my other personal favorites…’.

‘Keon Coleman dropped a ball early into team drills but recovered. Coleman leaped and came down with a catch against starting cornerback Christian Benford. Coleman followed it up with two more grabs over Dane Jackson.’

‘Before he had even started kindergarten in Irondequoit in the late 1960s, Rob has been a Bills fans. His love affair with the team is not unlike any other card carrying member of Bills Mafia in terms of passion – the guy is crazy about this team. But what makes him just a little different is, thanks to his tremendously successful business career, he has a bit more disposable cash. Enough to grab a piece of the team.’

‘The latest four-figure set includes miniatures of quarterback Josh Allen, head coach Sean McDermott, former Bills quarterback Jim Kelly and former Bills head coach Marv Levy.’

‘The Bills have had success with a sixth-round pick cornerback: Christian Benford. Dorian Strong may be the newest edition.’

‘Hairston was on crutches outside the team facility at St. John Fisher after practice.’

‘During their time at St. Thomas, Rochester native Dave Billitier – who has been a volunteer coach there for close to two decades – knew they were going to join the long list of players the school has sent to the NFL. But the fact that Palmer, Moore and Bosa are all going through their first training camp in Billitier’s hometown at St. John Fisher University feels like a full circle moment for him.’
