‘Beane, while speaking here at the annual NFL League Meetings, said that the team and Cook’s representatives had discussions earlier in the offseason, but when it was apparent they wouldn’t be able to strike a deal, he turned his attention to other players whose contracts would also be expiring after next season.’

‘While speaking here at the annual NFL League Meetings, McDermott explained what new strength and conditioning coach Will Greenberg brings to his staff, and touched on a variety of other topics, including the team bringing back cornerback Dane Jackson, how he views the safety position right now, and more.’

‘I had a chance to sit down with Buffalo Bills and Sabres Chief Executive Officer Pete Guelli to discuss a number of topics, including the construction and seat sales of the new Highmark Stadium, events and development in and around that stadium, as well as Keybank Center, Bills uniforms, the state of the two leagues, and even the Hallmark movie based on the Bills.’

‘The 24-year old Benford is the sixth Bills player to sign a multi-year extension this offseason, joining quarterback Josh Allen, long snapper Reid Ferguson, defensive end Greg Rousseau, linebacker Terrel Bernard, and wide receiver Khalil Shakir.’

‘It was pointed out to McDermott his team runs the play. “I don’t see ours as a full fledged Tush Push,” the Bills head coach responded. “I think that’s also a chapter of the conversation that needs to get some weight and put some time in terms of what’s defined as a Tush Push. I think we need to end up in the right spot as soon as possible, wherever that takes us.”‘

‘As part of the restructure for Milano, it will trim a year off his contract, meaning he now only has one more year remaining before becoming an unrestricted free agent in 2026.’

‘The big question about Bosa, of course, is whether or not he can stay healthy. Over the last three seasons with the Chargers, Bosa missed more games(23) than he started(18). Last season Bosa had a career low snap count of 50%. He totaled five sacks, 13 quarterback hits and had a strong 13% pressure rate in 14 games played. But again I’ll refer back to Miller and Floyd and their usage.’

‘Jackson did end up playing 15 games in 2023, but only started six games. After only playing nine games in Carolina, Jackson was released by the Panthers in February.’

‘The five-year pro played 11 games with the Los Angels Rams, before finishing the season playing only one game with the Seattle Seahawks. Primarily a kick returner, Shenault will be battling with Brandon Codrington.’

‘”Josh texted me that if we do what we set out to do, we could really be immortalized in this town. That’s what it’s all about, is winning a championship, and that’s why I think people are here,” said Bosa on Thursday during his introductory press conference.’

‘The former University of Florida product ultimately had his best statistical season during his rookie season in the NFL, putting up two interceptions, four passes defended and 41 tackles in 13 games played and six starts. He also played in both playoff games for Buffalo, reeling in an interception against the Miami Dolphins in the AFC Wild Card Round.’

‘According to a report from ESPN Bills beat reporter Alaina Getzenberg, the Bills are restructuring defensive tackle Ed Oliver’s contract before the 4 p.m. start of the new league year. This will create an additional $10 million in cap space for the Bills for the 2025 season.’

‘Hamlin started 14 games this past season at safety, reeling in two interceptions, recovering a fumble and racking up 89 total tackles. He also started in all three playoff games for the Bills, recording a forced fumble, a sack on Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, and 15 total tackles.’

‘Forrest had spent the first four years of his career with the Washington Commanders since being drafted by the club in the fifth round (163rd overall) of the 2021 NFL Draft out of the University of Cincinnati.’
