‘Rapp joined the Bills last offseason after spending the first four years of his career with the Los Angeles Rams. In 16 games played for Buffalo in 2023, the 26-year-old started four games at safety, registering 50 total tackles, two passes defended, 0.5 sacks and an interception.’

‘Poyer became a fan favorite during his seven seasons played with the Bills alongside longtime safety partner Micah Hyde.’

‘ESPN NFL insider Field Yates reports on Wednesday the Bills and edge rusher Von Miller have agreed to a renegotiated contract. Yates says the new restructured deal has a base value of $8.855 million in 2024, with the chance to make up to $20 million with incentives.’

‘“I think instincts are really big at safety,” Beane told reporters Tuesday here at the annual NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis. “If you’re telling me, ‘you can have an athletic guy that’s a 4.3 (in the forty yard dash), 4.4 safety but he doesn’t have instincts,’ I’ll take the 4.6 guy with instincts, ball skills, and a little less range.”’

‘Bernard enters year three as the unquestioned starter at the MIKE position, and is under contract for two more years, still on his rookie deal. It’s a great situation for the team to have him and Milano locked up for multiple years.’

‘The first thing that jumps out about this group is the sheer number of pending free agents. Of the seven players who ended the season on the roster in some capacity, only two are actually under contract for 2024.’

‘“I think it’s still early,” Beane said when asked if either would be ready for any offseason activities. “They’re still working through it. I don’t want to commit to that at this point. Both of them are in Buffalo, rehabbing, doing everything they can.”’

‘For a team that has a lot of challenges just to get under the cap, let alone have the ability to re-sign some of their own free agents and those from other teams, every dollar counts.’

‘“We’ll make that decision when we need to,” McDermott said about calling the defense. “Right now we’re just one step at a time.”’
