‘Davis’ point makes the decision between the two even more compelling. He believes a tight end like either of these guys would be beneficial for a young quarterback like Josh Allen. Either of these guys are valuable enough, both in skill and development, that drafting them at ninth overall would not be a reach for the Bills. If they were to trade down to a lower pick, there is no guarantee that either of them would make it that much farther down the draft line.’

‘Spain joins Jon Feliciano, Spencer Long, Mitch Morse, LaAdrian Waddle, and Ty Nsekhe as offensive line acquisitions by the Bills this offseason.’

‘”The best-case scenario would be [Houston defensive tackle] Ed Oliver falling to pick nine. It would be a perfect combination of need, as well as high-end talent level… Olive shouldn’t fall to nine, but you have to look at the teams ahead of Buffalo though. There should be a couple quarterbacks taken, offensive lineman should come off the board and so too should Devin White and Devin Bush at linebacker.”‘

‘The Nashville Children’s Alliance is a non-profit orgainzation that provides services to children who have experienced sexual or physical abuse. As Shelby describes with Sal, it hits close to home with her.’

‘9. Buffalo Bills – DL – Ed Oliver (Houston).’

‘The start of Bills’ Mandatory Minicamp comes on June 11th and rolls along through June 13th.’

‘From Day 1, Josh Allen will be the unquestioned starter and get every rep as QB1. He’s not fighting with anyone else for the job. He’s not looking over his shoulder if he throws an interception in camp. What he is going to do is get at least double, and maybe even close to triple, the number of reps he got last offseason. On top of that, all of those reps will be with the first-team offense, as opposed to the second- and third-team, where he was for a majority of last summer and training camp.’

‘The Bills sit at ninth overall in the 2019 NFL Draft, which could be in range for a player like Metcalf to fall to them in the first round.’

‘Perry has mainly played special teams and will likely do the same if he makes the Bills’ roster out of training camp. In 48 career games, he has just eight carries.’

‘Last year, Ivory signed a two-year deal with the Bills and served as the backup to Lesean McCoy, a role that will presumably be filled by the recently-signed Frank Gore this season.’

‘With Ivory on the roster, the Bills had the three oldest running backs in the NFL all in their backfield. Gore, who will turn 36 in May, and McCoy, who will be 31 in July, remain the two oldest backs in the NFL. They’re currently joined by 28-year-old Marcus Murphy and Keith Ford, who turns 25 next month. So, the Bills may still want to address the running back position in the draft to add more youth and competition before heading to training camp.’

‘“In the time I’ve been in Buffalo and my family’d been in Buffalo, I didn’t realize how important it was when I was going through the interview process with the different teams to become a head coach. I am very grateful to have ended up in Buffalo with the Bills, because of the fit, because of the people, and because of the tradition. So, what more could you ask for from a city that football, to me, is important to the city of Buffalo. That’s not the case in every city. People want to pump palm trees and this and that, and weather and this and that, come to Buffalo where football is important to the people.”’

‘You can hear Rosenhaus say that he talked to the Bills, but wouldn’t even give them a number they’d be looking for on a contract. For a player that was looking to become the highest paid receiver in NFL history, you’d think they’d at least want to hear the Bills out.’

‘Well we’ve employed CAA ICON and Populous. They’re doing a market study. It will be done this summer. It’s pretty extensive the work they’re doing, and so I can’t comment on what their results are because I don’t know. We have dribs and drabs of what they’ve seen so far but you know we’re open to any option and we’ll see what the market study says.’

‘“I don’t think it was culture,” Pegula said. “It wasn’t just one thing, it was it was a lot of different things. Some of it was just based on whether it was work-related, whether it was just a restructuring, or you know, I’ve been talking to a lot of other clubs around the league, ‘how are you doing things?’ And so for me it was part of the learning process….and it’s just part of the whole progression of how we want things to be and how we want to make our own mark. So it wasn’t just one thing. It wasn’t a cultural thing. It was just having more knowledge and experience.”’
