‘Kumerow gives the Bills added depth both on offense at wide receiver and on special teams. In Green Bay last season, Kumerow played roughly a third of their snaps on both offense and special teams.’

Takeaways on Tre
‘While White is currently the highest-paid corner in the league, Beane probably saved the Pegulas some money by getting this done before some other top corners like Jalen Ramsey, Marshon Lattimore and Marlon Humphrey get their next deal.’
Dunne: ‘I’d put my money on Belichick’ always shutting down Josh Allen
‘“I just felt like when they had to cut him loose, he’s going to have to win you that type of game against Patrick Mahomes, Deshaun Watson, Lamar Jackson,” Dunne continued. “They tempt you into a shootout; you can’t win that 17-14 game that Sean McDermott wants to win in mid-January. To reel off three playoffs wins in a row, I just don’t know if he has it in him. Maybe he does, maybe he doesn’t. But we’ve seen nothing to suggest he does so far, and I’d put my money on Belichick to shut him down – and really, shut him down for good over time.”’
Bills to host running back Lamar Miller for a visit
‘;The recently released veteran back, who was surprisingly cut by the Patriots over the weekend as they pare down their roster ahead of Week 1, is already scheduled for a visit with one of New England’s division rivals.’
Bills, Jets taking different approaches in building around a young QB
‘The cabinet was barren for Allen and Darnold as rookies, but over the following two offseasons, Bills general manager Brandon Beane has surrounded his franchise QB with far more talent than the Jets have given Darnold. Following the 2019 free agency period and draft where Buffalo acquired WRs John Brown and Cole Beasley, as well as RB Devin Singletary and TE Dawson Knox, Beane followed it up in 2020 by pulling off a blockbuster trade with Minnesota, giving Allen a true #1 WR in Stefon Diggs.’
Bills announce 17-player practice squad
‘The team did elect to use their exempt spot on running back Christian Wade, who is in the final year of the league’s International Pathways Program. That means Wade is ineligible to sign with Bills’ or any other team’s active roster in 2020. But he’ll still be practicing with them every day and can still come back to camp next year if they choose to have him.’
Bills sign cornerback Tre’Davious White to four-year contract extension
The 25-year-old cornerback was set to enter the final year of his rookie deal in 2020. His extension will officially kick in following this upcoming season.’
Bills announce cuts to get to 53-man roster
‘Among the notable cuts were wide receivers Duke Williams and Robert Foster, as well as running back Christian Wade, tight end Jason Croom, cornerback Cam Lewis and cornerback Dane Jackson.’
Bills place DiMarco on injured reserve; release linebackers Joseph and Thompson
‘Thompson’s been primarily a weak-side backup for Matt Milano, and also a core special teams player through his two-year career. He was originally an undrafted free agent who was released as part of final cuts in 2018, but then signed to the team’s practice squad right away. Later that season, he was signed to the active roster. He made the Bills’ 53-man roster right out of camp last season and played 12 games, missing four with an ankle injury. Other than the team’s regular season finale when they rested several defensive players in preparation for the playoffs, he was strictly a special teamer.’
Report: Robert Foster and Jason Croom’s names raised in trade talks
‘Breer wasn’t specific in saying if the Bills were looking to move those players or if other teams have inquired, but Bills general manager Brandon Beane may very well be calling other teams to see if they are willing to give him any compensation before having to release and lose them for nothing.’
Bills 53-man roster projection
‘Given the 16-man practice squad (17 for the Bills if they choose to use their exempt spot on running back Christian Wade), 70 of these players could actually still be with the team next week. Of course, it’s doubtful every person cut is signed back to the practice squad. A few could be claimed, some may want to go to another team’s practice squad where they feel they have a better shot at making an active roster eventually, and the Bills may sign players who get cut by other teams eating up their own spots. However, I think a majority of them will be back with the Bills.’
Bills get Taiwan Jones back at practice; re-sign a running back
‘Cornerback Josh Norman and wide receiver Stefon Diggs were both limited for the second day in a row. Norman is still recovering from a hamstring injury, while Diggs is dealing with back soreness.’
Diggs, White brightening stardom through one-on-ones
‘Saying the one-on-ones between the two at camp have been competitive would be an understatement.’
Five stat questions before the Bills 2020 season
‘Singletary was extremely efficient in his rookie season, even at the end of the year when he saw a much bigger workload. He will head into his second season as the starting RB, and he is heavily favored by fans to finish with the most scrimmage yards at the position. Not sure I agree with the majority here. Moss is a powerful, versatile weapon that showed at Utah he can be a dangerous receiver in the backfield. He is a more talented player and eventually this season he will take over the majority of the work.’
Josh Norman returns to practice; Levi Wallace sits out
‘Another player who appeared on the injury report for the first time was defensive end Mario Addison, who McDermott said was dealing with knee soreness, so they decided to give him a couple days rest.’
