‘As I sit here now, I really believe GM Brandon Beane would love to trade down and grab more picks, then still be able to pick a really good football player who can contribute right away. He can’t drop too far from No. 9 overall to be able to do that. So how far is he willing to go down and what does he want in return?’

‘Buffalo still holds on to the ninth overall pick in the first round as of now.’

‘In Buffalo, Lacey has played every game in each of the last two seasons, mainly as a special teams contributor and backup linebacker. He was an Exclusive Rights Free Agent this offseason, meaning the Bills had to submit a mimimum salary tender by March 13 in order to retain his rights.’

‘Sheldon Richardson.’

‘This is the sixth year of a 10-year lease between the team and county. The last time the turf was replaced was 2011. At that time, the team installed what’s known as the A-Turf Titan surface, which according to the team’s website, was considered “the top synthetic turf system available and is noted as the industry’s top performing system by providing the perfect balance of traction, foot release and unparalleled durability.”’

‘”To me, [GM] Brandon Beane will probably go with offensive line over wide receiver early on. Getting them a nice pair of [Florida Gators’ offensive tackle] Jawaan Taylor and Dion Dawkins would be a nice compliment. I think [Taylor] is the best tackle in the class.”‘

‘Guard Vlad Ducasse is still under contract, but he’s clearly not a certainly to even be on the opening day roster, much less in a starting spot. So where can the help come from in this year’s free agent class? Here are some options the team may consider and how they might or might not fit the Bills in 2019…’.

‘The Bills now only have Jason Croom and Logan Thomas under contract at the tight end position. Thomas, however, is a restricted free agent.’

‘To say the Bills are not the Patriots is the understatement of the sports century. You can hold yourself as a disciplined outfit, and I suppose also find players who would consider that appealing, but if you don’t have wins to show for it, what are those players buying into?’

‘Considered by many to be the best free agent tight end available, Cook is coming off a big year, catching 68 passes for 896 yards and six touchdowns. At 6’ 5”, 254 pounds, he’s always had the measurable and ability to be a standout at the position. But he’s already been on four teams in ten years, probably because he’s never really had the kind of season he did last year and had too many dips in production along the way.’

‘According to NFL insider Adam Caplan, Long’s deal is worth $13 million, but he has the possibility of earning $15 million overall.’

‘Here are 10 wide receivers whose contracts are set to expire who may be targets for the Bills, and my feelings on each…’.

‘The letter also reiterated something he has said since his arrival less than two years ago – that the team will continue to focus on drafting, developing, and re-signing its own players. It said that he realizes the team has needs in all three phases, and also stated that now that their salary cap situation is extremely healthy, they will be “active, but calculated” in this year’s free agent market.’

‘The Fanduel Sportsbook in New Jersey has put together their early odds for who will be the Super Bowl champ in 2019. Put them on the list of who’s counting against the Bills in 2019. They have the Bills tied for the worst Super Bowl odds at +15000. The Arizona Cardinals are also at the bottom with the same odds.’

‘Chad Hall has been promoted to receivers coach. Hall has been on the Bills’ staff for the last two seasons as an offensive assistant, mainly working with receivers. Hall worked closely with Robert Foster and Cam Phillips last season and will replace Terry Robiske, who is now the running backs coach for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Similar to Dorsey, Hall spent some time in the NFL, playing for Philadelphia, San Francisco and Kansas City over four seasons.’
