‘The GM made it clear to Segal how important Milano was to the organization and told both the agent and player that they wanted to get a deal done to retain him. The good news for the Bills was that Milano also told Segal, long considered one of the power-agents in the NFL, that he wanted to stay in Buffalo.’

‘Terms of the deal were not disclosed by the team, but various media outlets have reported it’s in-line with the standard rookie wage scale for the 30th overall selection and includes $11,367,075 in total guarantees.’

‘Wide receivers Stefon Diggs and Emmanuel Sanders, as well as running back Devin Singletary, all joined their teammates on the turf at Highmark Stadium for the second of three OTA sessions this week, and fifth of 10 sessions overall.’

‘Diggs still has three years remaining on his contract with the Bills. The move will add just over $3.9 million to the Bills’ salary cap charges in 2022 and 2023. The wide receiver was scheduled to make $12,708,333 base salary in 2021.’

‘Ferguson’s salary cap number for this season is scheduled to be $1.14 million, good for seventh-highest amongst all NFL long snappers. Terms of the new deal were not disclosed, and it’s unknown if that number will change under the extension.’

‘According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the NFL and NFLPA have agreed to a $208.2 million salary cap ceiling for 2022, which is a $25.7 million jump from this year’s $182.5 million cap.’

‘Pegula Sports and Entertainment issued a statement on Tuesday saying representatives met with Erie County and New York State officials to “outline a plan based on the independent study the organization conducted with regard to future stadium and arena projects in Western New York.”‘

‘The Bills played all of their regular season home games, and several of their road games with no fans in the stands last season due to COVID-19 protocols. Even for the games at stadiums in which fans were allowed, there was very limited capacity.’

‘During Phase 3, no live contact is permitted, but 7-on-7, 9-on-7, and 11-on-11 drills are permitted.’

‘Despite being a sixth round pick, Hamlin may be in a better position to carve out a role than some other rookies, because the Bills’ No. 3 safety position appears to be wide-open.’

‘Hester, originally a seventh round draft choice of the Oakland Raiders out of Toledo in 2017, has played in 41 regular season games for three different teams, including the Raiders, Philadelphia Eagles, and Washington Football Team. He was also a member of the Green Bay Packers and Eagles practice squads last year. Hester has compiled 40 total tackles, four tackles for loss and two sacks over his four-year NFL career.’

‘While he may not be an every down starter right away, the Bills certainly did not make Rousseau their first round pick to have him sit and watch all year. He should fit in as a rotational pass rusher at all different spots on the defensive line. The only questions are where, how soon and how often?’

‘Since going undrafted in 2018, Badet finally appeared in the NFL, playing three games for Washington. In those three games, he saw the field 21 times on offense and zero times on special teams.’

‘Seasons like 2020 – 13-3 and the AFC Championship Game – are not to be taken for granted, and they’re not easily repeatable. Every fan would take the same regular season for them (ok, 14-3, or 13-4, or whatever). Those are about the best records in the league every year. So, no point in asking you if you’d take a repeat performance. But what would you take?’

‘The Bills added two cornerbacks, a wide receiver, a tight end, and an offensive lineman via undrafted free agency.’
