‘While the 2024 package price will increase by an average of 10%, the per-game price will remain flat for most areas. The increase is only impacted due to the package increasing from nine games in Orchard Park in 2023 to 10 games in 2024.’

‘Also, Christian Taylor joins the Bills as a defensive quality control coach after being the offensive coordinator and running backs coach for William and Mary’s for the past four seasons.’

‘The Bills have one of the best offenses in the NFL thanks to the man who pulls the trigger, Josh Allen. However, it needs to be better. It needs to be more dangerous, and it needs to be more explosive. Which is why Beane has to address wide receiver early in the draft. Preferably on Day 1, but no later than Day 2.’

‘The Bills need to rejoin the ranks of teams that have terrific receiver tandems. The Miami Dolphins have Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, the Philadelphia Eagles have A.J. Brown and Devonta Smith, and the Cincinnati Bengals have Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, although Higgins will be an unrestricted free agent.’

‘Holcomb replaces Bobby Babich as the Bills’ new linebackers coach after Babich was announced as the new defensive coordinator earlier this week.’

‘”I feel like I take it day-by-day,” said Diggs on Friday. “Obviously, there’s a lot of changes going on, a lot of things going on. I can’t really put the carriage before the horse, you know what I’m saying? But I’ve got a great offseason in front of me to put a lot of work in, and build around what we’ve got and what we’re doing,”‘

‘Babich becomes the first defensive coordinator under head coach Sean McDermott since Leslie Frasier stepped away last offseason. Frazier was heading into the 2024 offseason without a contract with the Bills.’

‘Joe Brady is no longer the interim offensive coordinator of the Buffalo Bills. Brady got the job on a full-time basis, the team announced on Sunday.’

‘Diggs will be joining teammates Dion Dawkins and James Cook for the 2023 Pro Bowl Games next weekend in Orlando, Florida, as he replaces Cleveland Browns wideout Amari Cooper, who will not attend due to an injury.’

‘Hamlin was able to return to play five regular season games this year after nearly losing his life late last year in a Week 17 matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals at Paycor Stadium. In those five games, Hamlin played mainly on special teams, but still managed to register two tackles in action on defense.’

‘When it comes to signing outside free agents, as Beane noted, don’t expect any big splashes. The Bills will be shopping for bargains, which is why they really need to hit this draft and have some key contributions coming from players on cost-controlled contracts for the next few years.’

‘Bills quarterback Josh Allen has, once again, been named one of five finalists for NFL’s Most Valuable Player. It is the third time in his career (2020 and 2022) where he earned votes as a finalist for league MVP.’

‘Beane noted that the roster will need to get younger in some areas, and that it will be imperative to hit on this year’s draft in order for to acquire those younger, cheaper players to contribute.’

‘”I’m extremely proud of what we’ve accomplished, but not in any way satisfied or going to get complacent with where we’re at,” said McDermott on Tuesday. “Every year, you start over and every year, I can tell you and promise you that fire burns within me bright as it did the year before, if not more. We’re disappointed, yes, but not broken.”‘

‘”Buffalo already felt more like home than any other place ever did. You gave us an instant sense of belonging,” Hyde recollected.’
