‘Lawson is entering the fourth year of his rookie deal, which means he’ll now be in the last year of his contract. But just because the option wasn’t picked up, doesn’t mean the Bills can’t retain Lawson. They would still have the option of placing the franchise or transition tag on him, or even work out an extension.’

‘Yes, if Allen is bad then the Bills probably will be bad. If Allen is good though, he’ll need one other man to elevate the Bills from good to great. That man is Sean McDermott.’

‘“We’re working closely with Tailgate Guys, which is a Bills partner, who have the expertise in fan tailgating and group tailgating. They do this across the country at many of the largest colleges in the nation and they do it very successfully…So, we’re excited to move forward with them, and we think they’re going to do a great job with this.” said Andy Major.’

‘If you’re not tailgating, nothing really changes from last year… you need to purchase your permit in advance. It’s still $100, but there’s no redeposit required.’

‘“I truly thought he would be drafted,” Beane said immediately following the three-day draft, but noting that nothing was official yet and that Jackson still had to pass a physical. “He was on our draft board to be drafted. I’m surprised. You saw his name still sitting there late in the seventh, and you start going, ‘Man, if this kid doesn’t get drafted, we’re going to have to go after him.’ And we did.”’

‘Add it all up and it comes to 10-6.’

‘”We do think we have filled a lot of holes between free agency and the draft, but I do think there are still spots that we can improve and get stronger. If there’s ways that I can at least add competition; we’ll pay attention to what happens. There will be some guys that will be released this month that teams drafted a player at their position and maybe their cap number is a little higher now than the team wants to hold on to or take a chance on an injury. There will be some guys out there still and if we think there’s a guy that fits, we’ll still look to add more competition between now and when we get to St. John Fisher.”‘

‘”Jerry Hughes used to be the only guy getting pressure on opposing quarterbacks. Now, you have at least two of those guys with [the addition of] Oliver.”‘

Johnson recorded 252 total tackles, 8 interceptions, 6 forced fumbles, 3 fumble recoveries and a defensive touchdown in his career at Miami.’

In 2018, his junior year with the Aggies, Johnson racked up 10.5 sacks and 50 total tackles in 12 games.’

‘The quarterback wasn;t the only former Bull to agree to a deal with the Bills. He’ll be joined by cornerback Cam Lewis.’

‘“Competition is a good a thing,” McDermott said. “I know we both believe in building it up front. If you study the league over the years, as I’m sure you guys do, you’ve got to have it on both sides of the ball. It starts up front. When you look at not only Cody, but really the other picks today and yesterday within (the first three rounds), smart, tough. There’s something to be said for those two qualities right there.”’

‘Ford missed the majority of the 2016 campaign with a broken fibula suffered in his fourth game of the season.’
