‘Very few people saw what happened coming.’

‘As for those under contract, Mario Addison is probably the biggest question mark headed into this offseason, as far as whether or not the team keeps him on the roster.’

‘Fitzpatrick would be a wild ride as a backup. If he had to enter a game that mattered, I’d want to assume it wouldn’t go well, while not ruling out Fitzpatrick carrying the team on his back to a win.’

‘Defensive tackle is the only position group on the entire Buffalo Bills roster that does not have a pending free agent. Seven different players are under contract already for 2021, including five regulars from this past season – Ed Oliver, Quinton Jefferson, Harrison Phillips, Vernon Butler, and Justin Zimmer.’

‘Maybe all the usual “learning to win” filler should apply. The Bills played about their two worst games of the year against the Chiefs, and there could be psychological reasons for that to go with the tactical ones. We don’t know.’

‘Sure, there could very well be multiple returners along the line, but as of right now, the only thing that’s certain is Dawkins is the starting left tackle in 2021.’

‘Things are a lot more fuzzy when it comes to Brown, mainly due to his contract and injury concerns.’

‘As far as the Bills are concerned, if you were around back then, it probably reminded you of 1988 when you could tell the Bills had put together a special team. There was an AFC East championship and a trip to the AFC Championship Game. Even though 1989 was a step back, your gut instincts proved to be correct by what happened in the early 1990s.’

‘”I just think the stability of the quarterback in the division is Josh Allen, and if I was Josh Allen and the Bills, I wouldn’t necessarily be worried about the AFC East. I’d just be worried about the AFC. I think that’s how big the difference is in teams right now.”‘

‘The Bills are trying to contend for a Super Bowl right now, and don’t want to wait a couple more years for a tight end to develop. That’s why free agency may be the route they have to go this offseason to try and get better at the position.’

‘If the Bills want to run the ball more effectively, and we know they do, finding a mix of five men up-front that can have more success in the run game would be important. This Bills team struggled to run the ball all that effectively this season.’

‘T.J. Yeldon will be a free agent. He’s actually the exact type of running back they need going forward, but someone who’s younger and more dynamic.’

‘Trubisky gives the Bills one big upgrade over Barkley – mobility.’

‘The biggest question at the quarterback position facing the Bills this offseason is whether or not to pay Josh Allen now, or wait another year.’

‘”We’ll have to be very sharp on each move. Every dime we spend we have to make sure we spend it wisely. And then the onus is on us to have a really strong draft. Our personnel department knows that, I know that, and we can’t fail there.”‘
