‘The 10 offensive players is double what any other team in the league has signed so far, which gives you an idea of exactly how aggressive and focused they were on doing what Beane said they needed to and would.’

Bills sign former Patriots OT LaAdrian Waddle
‘The 6-6, 315-pound Waddle has started 31 NFL games, including seven over the past two years with the Patriots. He can play both left and right tackle.’
Beane – Draft is by drafting best player available, free agency is all about your needs
‘”Draft is by drafting best player available, free agency is all about your needs to help you be able to go into the draft with very few so called ‘needs.’ We’re looking for good players and we put them into various tiers, from ‘Tier 1’ down to ‘Tier 4’ of how we see these guys. There are certain positions where we didn’t target a ‘Tier 1’ guy, we just felt like that’s not as big of a need, it’s not as wise a use of our money.”‘
Cole Beasley says he chose Bills over Patriots and Cowboys
‘“It was a battle between here and New England, and Dallas, obviously,” the new Bills wide receiver said. “I just wanted to be in place where I’d have more opportunities and this seemed like the place for me to be.”’
Beane: Bills still have plenty of room to maneuver
‘The GM said the team still has approximately high $30 million to low $40 million in salary cap space after all the moves they’ve made, noting they still have to sign all of their draft picks with that money, but said “we still have plenty of room to maneuver should the opportunity be there for a marquee player that comes available (through) trade or release.”’
Report: Bills host pass rusher Ziggy Ansah on a visit
‘Ansah started only two games in 2018, appearing in seven before being placed on injured reserve with a shoulder injury. He was still able to record four sacks in 2018 despite the early end to his season.’
Bills announce the signings of seven free agents
‘Nsekhe appeared in 14 games last season, starting five of those games for the Washington Redskins. Feliciano started four games in relief for the Oakland Raiders. Both players will provide depth and competition for the Bills’ offensive line.’
Report: Bills set to sign All-Pro returner Andre Roberts
‘Roberts led the NFL in total kick return yards last season with 1174 and in punt return average with 14.1 per return. He is eighth amongst all active players averaging 24.9 yards per kick return. Roberts was selected to the Pro Bowl last season and also named a First Team All-Pro. He had an outstanding games against the Bills, first returning five kicks for 132 yards (26.4 average) in a November game at the Meadowlands, then returning five kicks for 176 yards (35.20 average) in a December game in Orchard Park.’
Capaccio: What each new free agent signing means for the Bills
‘Morse should immediately start at center. He’s athletic, can move and pull, and is known as a terrific pass-blocker. The question now is what happens with Russell Bodine, who has one year left in his contract and is coming off a broken leg? He’s definitely a candidate to be released before the season (the Bills would save $2.3 million in cap space), but may also be good insurance as a backup to Morse, who has missed 16 games over the past two seasons.’
Reports: Bills will sign wide receiver Cole Beasley
‘His best season in Dallas came in 2016 when he posted career-high totals in receptions (75) and receiving yards (833), and brought in five touchdowns. Last season in Dallas, Beasley caught 65 passes for 672 yards, and found the endzone three times in the air.’
Reports: Bills, wide receiver John Brown agree to three-year deal
‘Prior to Baltimore, Brown spent the first four seasons of his NFL career with the Arizona Cardinals. He had his most productive season with the Cardinals in 2015, where he compiled 65 receptions for 1,003 yards and seven touchdowns.’
Reports: Bills add offensive lineman Ty Nsekhe
‘Nsekhe has had quite the football journey. After playing college football at Texas State, he signed with the Corpus Christi Sharks of AF2 (Arena Football 2) as an undrafted free agent in 2009. Over the next 10 years, he spent time in the Arena Football League, AF2, and the NFL with the Sharks, Dallas Vigilantes, Philadelphia Soul, San Antonio Talons, Indianapolis Colts, St. Louis Rams, New Orleans Saints, Montreal Alouettes, Los Angeles Kiss, and Washington Redskins.’
Report: Bills to sign OL Jon Feliciano
‘Feliciano played his college football at Miami (FL) and was a Raiders 4th round pick in 2015. He suited up for all 16 games in 2016 and 13 games each of the past two seasons, including starting four games at left guard last season in place of an Kelechi Osemele while Osemele was injured.’
Report: Bills to sign C Mitch Morse
‘Some believe Morse is a more valuable free agent than Paradis because he’s two years younger. He’s basically been Kansas City’s starting center the past four years, since entering the league as a second round pick in 2015. He’s very athletic and considered an excellent pass protector. His main issue of concern is that he’s only played 18 games over the past two seasons, missing nine games in 2017 after twice spraining his foot and then five games last year after suffering a concussion. He’ll probably get less than Paradis, and at his age, if he can stay healthy, that could mean a much more valuable deal for whomever signs him.’
Report: Bills to sign RB Frank Gore
‘The veteran back will be 36-years-old come the start of the upcoming campaign.’
