‘Bills – No. 28: Xavier Worthy, WR, Texas.’

‘”Not taking our foot of the gas with the Bills,” North said when asked how the league sees the Bills from a national broadcast standpoint headed into 2024. “I don’t think there’s any question they have one of the best players in the league and that is the must-see TV we’ve been talking about here. What makes me want to go sit in front of the television for a few hours? It’s somebody like that.”

‘The receiver room isn’t devoid of talent, but this reminds me of 2020 when the Bills had talent in John Brown and Cole Beasley, but added star power when they traded for Diggs from the Minnesota Vikings. This is why Beane has to figure out a way to move up come Thursday night.’

‘”I’m not sitting here thinking we have a glaring hole,” Beane told reporters here at One Bills Drive on Thursday, exactly one week prior to the start of the 2024 NFL Draft.’

‘”I shared a text with him and got one back and just thanking him for everything that he did for me,” Allen told reporters here at One Bills Drive on Thursday after the team held an offseason workout. “I’ll always have a spot in my heart for him. And I’ll always love that guy like a brother and wish him nothing but the best.”‘

‘Phase 1 shall consist of the first two weeks of the Club’s offseason workout program….Phase 1 activities shall be limited to strength and conditioning and physical rehabilitation only.’

‘Each NFL team is allowed to carry up to 90 players throughout the offseason until final cuts are made at the end of training camp.’

‘Simpson’s family made the announcement in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Thursday morning.’

‘The 30-year-old did attempt to make a comeback with the Cowboys last season, signing in Dallas as a late-season depth piece to the practice squad.’

‘During the 2022 offseason, Collins was released by the Cowboys and decided to then sign with the Cincinnati Bengals, where he started 15 games before suffering a torn ACL and MCL late in the year.’

‘It would appear the Bills decided to trade Diggs for a few different reasons, including his declining production during the second half of last season, his age (he will turn 31 in November), a contract that has massive salaries and cap numbers left, and the fact that his act might have been wearing thin for management. All are valid reasons, but this creates a Grand Canyon-sized hole for an offense that relies and thrives on its passing game.’

‘You want them to wait and draft four guys in the fourth round? That’s gambling just the same as trading up is. You get more kicks at the can, but chances are you’re not getting the best talent.’

‘They did address some depth issues at receiver with the signing of Curtis Samuel, but with the hole now left by Diggs and the very limited supply of notable names in free agency, it feels like the Bills could have set themselves up better by making this move sooner.’

‘The Bills announced on Wednesday they have agreed to trade wide receiver Stefon Diggs, along with a 2025 fifth-round pick and 2024 sixth-round pick, to the Houston Texans in exchange for a 2025 second-round pick, originally from the Minnesota Vikings. ESPN’s Adam Schefter was the first to report this deal.’

‘”Sometimes in this seat, you’ve got to make difficult decisions,” said Beane on Wednesday during a press conference with the assembled media in Orchard Park. “What I would let everyone know is it wasn’t easy, but it was with a lot of thought, discussion, conversation at the highest levels of our organization. And it was made with, what we believe, was the best interest of the Bills.”‘
