Some continued pause for Bills Season Ticket holders over PSL pricing for new stadium
‘”I was so torn, but being newly retired, they wanted $10,000 a seat, plus the ticket, which was going to be approximately $4,300 a seat and going up every year,” Ryan detailed. “As much as I wanted to be there, I just couldn’t see spending that kind of money.”‘

Analysis: Javon Solomon giving Bills some juice off the edge in preseason
‘Solomon showed plenty of ability to dip and bend around the edge in college, where he led the Football Bowl Subdivision last year with 16 sacks. Can he do it in the NFL despite his lack of prototypical length? And can he hold his own vs. the run? He’s only 6-foot-1 and 246 pounds, though he has long arms for his size (33¾ inches).’
Depew native Joe Andreessen oozes confidence, makes plays in Bills' win over Steelers

The rookie undrafted free agent got the starting nod at middle linebacker, and he met the opportunity with strong play, making a game-high 12 tackles. “When a young guy gets an opportunity and he makes the most of it, it’s just fun to watch, watch a young man like that,” McDermott said. “Especially a local guy.”’
In effort to spur development around Bills stadium, Orchard Park eyes rezoning

Buffalo Bills may have crisis at backup quarterback: Players they could sign
‘One name that has come up is 36-year-old Ryan Tannehill who is currently unemployed after the Tennessee Titans released him in the spring. Nice idea, but the problem there is Tannehill is surely weighing his options to see if a starting opportunity comes available and he probably won’t want to join the Bills just to carry a clipboard. Among the other available QBs, the list is frightful and includes Brian Hoyer, Blaine Gabbert, A.J. McCarron and Trevor Siemian.’
Buffalo Bills depth chart watch: Unheralded linebacker looks good, veteran WR moving down
‘There were 91 players who came to St. John Fisher University to open training camp three weeks ago, and perhaps the only one with lesser odds to make the 53-man roster than Andreessen was wrestler-turned-defensive-tackle Gable Steveson. But Andreessen – who grew up a Bills fan in Lancaster and played at the University at Buffalo – opened some eyes with a superb performance as he recorded a game-high 12 tackles, two for lost yardage.’
Buffalo Bills stock report: Joe Andreessen highlights big winners vs. Steelers
‘This guy is becoming the talk of the town in Buffalo. He earned a spot in camp after a tryout at rookie mini-camp, and he hasn’t looked back. He led the team with 12 tackles on Saturday, including two for loss, and was flying all over the field.’
