‘The new additions to the staff include Marcus West as Assistant Defensive Line Coach, Jaylon Finner and Kyle Shurmur, both Defensive Quality Control Coaches, and Cory Harkey as Assistant Special Teams Coach. Harkey replaces Matthew Smiley who is now the Special Teams Coordinator, taking over for Heath Farwell who left for the same position with the Jacksonville Jaguars.’

Bills sign Siran Neal to three-year contract extension
‘The 27-year-old has been with the Bills since he was drafted in the fifth round of the 2018 NFL Draft out of Jacksonville State. Neal has spent time playing as a reserve cornerback when called upon, but has found his home being a major part of the Bills’ special teams unit.’
Opinion: Capaccio: 2022 State of the Bills – Offensive Line
‘Williams and Feliciano were both priority free agents to retain last offseason and now one year later both are cut candidates.’
Opinion: 2022 State of the Bills: Wide Receiver – Part 2
‘With the uncertainty surrounding both Cole Beasley and Isaiah McKenzie, there’s still a chance the Bills could re-visit Sanders being re-signed to the team again in 2022, especially because he has the ability to play both outside and in the slot. However, it feels like the Bills will, most likely, move on and look for someone different, and younger.’
Opinion: 2022 State of the Bills: Wide Receiver – Part 1
‘The time may be now to give Diggs an extension so that it doesn’t become problematic, but also make sure they lock in one of the best receivers in the game for several more years, and have financial certainty as far as his number.’
Signs pointing towards Bills-Rams season opener in Los Angeles?
‘As John Ourand from the Sports Business Journal tweeted on Monday, signs are pointing to a season-opening game this September in Los Angeles between the Bills and Broncos. This is unless Aaron Rodgers moves on from the Green Bay Packers to join the Denver Broncos this offseason.’
Report: Bills linebackers coach Bob Babich to retire
‘The 60-year old Babich has been the team’s linebackers coach since 2017, joining Sean McDermott’s staff right after he was hired as head coach of the Bills.’
Opinion: 2022 State of the Bills: Tight end
‘It will be interesting to see how new offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey employees Knox, but there’s no doubt he is now a legitimate starter and receiving threat who they also trust to be a blocker. By the end of the season, Knox rarely came off the field, playing over 90% of the offensive snaps in eight of the final nine games.’
Kevyn Adams will talk to Brandon Beane about injuries
‘The Bills also spent $18 million to build a new 41,000 square-foot performance and training center directly inside the footprint of their practice facility. It opened in the spring of 2019, which just-so-happens to coincide with when those injury numbers began reducing drastically.’
Opinion: Capaccio: 2022 State of the Bills – Running Back
‘Zack Moss had a very disappointing 2022 season. He spelled Singletary early on, but never showed enough consistency to be relied on for a bigger workload. He was inactive for three of the final seven regular season games and active but did not play in the AFC Divisional Playoff at the Chiefs. Moss is a physical runner, but lacks the speed and elusiveness the Bills need a little more of from the position.’
Opinion: Capaccio: 2022 State of the Bills – Quarterback
‘There are several free agent quarterbacks this offseason who have plenty of starting experience. If Beane can’t retain Trubisky, one of those should be the preferred option over an inexperienced, younger player. But the Bills have only so much money they can spend and may have to go that route, regardless. Whether they sign a veteran or not, I wouldn’t rule out the organization drafting a quarterback this year, either. Having a young signal-caller on a rookie contract who can develop behind Allen is never a bad idea.’
Buffalo Bills announce season ticket prices
‘The average price per ticket in club and regular seats will be $113, an increase of 11% from 2021. However, the average single-game ticket in 2021 was $142.30, which is a savings of roughly 25% for season ticket members.’
Bills re-sign linebacker Tyrel Dodson
‘Dodson posted a picture of him signing his new deal on his Twitter page.’
Bills replace Heath Farwell with Matthew Smiley as special teams coordinator
‘If the Bills didn’t want to make it appear as though they were scapegoating Farwell, this is how it would’ve looked. Waiting for Farwell to get another job before announcing Smiley.’
Goodell “encouraged” by progress of stadium negotiations
‘”Well, I’m encouraged by the progress that’s being made both at the state level and county level and with the club,” Goodell said. “We have been involved in a lot of those discussions. The governor has stepped into a very difficult challenge because when she came into office not only is the lease up in another year, but the stadium has been studied by experts and it’s reaching the useful life of that stadium. It probably has no more than five years, according to many of those studies. The bottom line on it is, we have to get a new stadium in Buffalo. The governor has recognized that.”‘
