Brandon Beane and staff use 'Bills Blue' to separate draft prospects. Here's what it is and how it works
‘Of the hundreds of players the Bills grade each spring, only about 30 prospects earn a “Bills Blue” designation. In 2018, Beane’s first draft, quarterback Josh Allen and defensive tackle Harrison Phillips were such players. In 2023, first-round tight end Dalton Kincaid earned the check mark.’
Bills Mailbag: What to make of Josh Allen being voted most overrated by his peers
Now, is Allen overrated? Of course not. In my opinion, he’s the second-best player in the NFL behind Patrick Mahomes. So why was Allen chosen as the most overrated? It’s more a reflection of the team’s postseason failures than anything else. It’s a fair criticism of the Bills to say that they have underachieved on the biggest stage in the postseason.’
Low ticket prices don’t keep Highmark Stadium experience inexpensive
‘While the team’s average price of $101.64 for a general admission seat ranked favorably in the study, it was not the same when it came to concessions and parking. The Bills charge an average beer price of $7.75, hot dogs average $6 and the average parking price is $35.’

People can say what they want to say, but we had a lot of success and a lot of fun doing it – on and off the field. We were very [close]. I hate how it ended, but at some point everything comes to an end.”’

Dead cap space is a major handicap for the Bills this season, but it will get better. Here's how
‘The Bills’ dead cap total is $63.65 million, behind only the Denver Broncos, whose dead cap total is $76.35 million, according to the sports financial website Spotrac. The league-wide salary cap this season is $255.4 million. Thus, dead space accounts for 25% of the Bills’ cap total.’
As the new voice of the Bills, Chris Brown will have lots to say. Just not about Chris Brown
‘“This goes back to the way my parents raised me. You never brag about yourself. … You let your actions speak for themselves,” he said. “It rings in my head a lot, to the point where my wife sometimes says to me, ‘Can you just please market yourself? Just a little.’”’
Following father, Gore Jr. earns PS spot with Bills
‘And if and when it does, he’ll be just the latest in a long string of fathers and sons to play for the same franchise in pro sports (and even more playing in the same league). No, it’s not quite Ken Griffey Jr. and Sr. playing on the same Seattle Mariners team (or even LeBron James and Bronny on the Lakers), but both Gores are now part of the same franchise’s history. Over in Pittsburgh, the Steelers drafted Joey Porter Jr. last year. Marcus Foligno followed his father, Mike’s, footsteps as a Buffalo Sabre.’
NFL Pro Bowler Dion Dawkins on personal style, doubts surrounding Bills, protecting star QB Josh Allen
‘”I’ve have had a different guard next to me since I started. I’ve been in the league for eight years. You figure it out, but when [the] guys stay together, it’s usually better for the quarterback. Timing, position, who’s the heavier guy and how we’re blocking from skinny to faster, it’s a whole ordeal.”‘
The evolution of Buffalo's roster and QB Josh Allen's leadership expectations
‘”He’s stuck his head in the tight end room a couple times, ‘What do y’all see here?’ … and then also, he’s getting a lot of extra work into practice too,” Knox said. “Seems like he’s just dialed in as soon as he steps out there to the second he comes off after everyone else has left.”‘
