‘Coach Sean McDermott declined to answer questions from reporters about Diggs’ absence but said he was “very concerned.”‘

‘”Internally, we’re working on some things — not football related,” Allen said. “Stef, he’s my guy. Excuse my language, I f—ing love him. He’s a brother of mine. This does not work, what we’re doing here, without him.”‘

‘”I was talking to Dion Dawkins yesterday, and he was just saying ‘I don’t think you realize that every kids that turns on their Xbox or PlayStation, it’s going to be you, it’s going to be your face,'” Allen said. “When he said that, it did resonate with me because I remember being that kid and buying Madden and looking at these covers and seeing who was on those covers and wanting to play with them in the game. That’s what’s really cool about it to me.”‘

‘Oliver called Buffalo a special place and said Bills Mafia has exceeded his expectations since the day he was drafted. “I know they go through tables,” Oliver told 13WHAM the night he was drafted. “I know it looks look they have a hell of a lot of fun.”‘

‘”It’s simple — I want to win, I want to win a Super Bowl,” Floyd said. “I’ve been examining teams and looking at rosters, and the Bills are the best. I just felt like if I came here, I could help the team get there and win a game.”‘

‘Current season ticket holders will have the first opportunity at tickets for the new stadium. Other fans will have to sign up for the waiting list and pay a $150-per-seat deposit, with a maximum of six seats.’

‘Floyd, 30, played the last four years with the Los Angeles Rams after spending the previous four with the Chicago Bears.’

‘NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell joined Bills owner Terry Pegula, Gov. Kathy Hochul and other leaders for the ceremony.’

‘”As a Western New York kid, it gives me a great deal of pride to be here today,” he said. “I’ve been to a lot of groundbreaking ceremonies during my time in the NFL, someone asked me on the way up here how many. I don’t know, but it’s well over 20, but none of them are more meaningful than being here today. This is an extraordinary community, they deserve an extraordinary stadium, and you’re going to get it.”‘

‘Oliver doesn’t have crazy stats, but I think he’s an underappreciated piece of the Bills’ defense.’

‘The ceremony is scheduled for 9 a.m. and will be streamed on the team’s website, app, Facebook, YouTube and Twitter pages.’

‘”They actually told me before the draft even happened that that was a possibility,” Knox said. “After hearing what we’re going to be focused on if that was the pick, I was super excited for it.”‘

‘”I don’t think it should ever be a question,” Miller said. “Football is No. 1 on his mind. The way he comes out here each and every practice, the way he commits to this game, commits to his teammates — sometimes you just need a little bit of time. We’ve all seen you don’t need OTAs to be successful. 2020, nobody had OTAs, everybody was still good. He’s a proven veteran, a superstar, on and off the football field. I don’t think it’s a big deal about his not being at OTAs.”‘

‘Travelers will take a shuttle from AAA in Amherst to the Toronto airport on Oct. 5, with a non-stop overnight flight from Toronto to London arriving Oct. 6.’

‘”It looks so different when you put all these grandstands and tents up,” Allen continued. “It’s kind of almost unrecognizable, but it looks very pure right now. I get a chance to play it on Monday to, I guess, test my skills — but I’m not expecting a great score.”‘
