‘“Leaning into each other and sitting by different people at dinner and talking and discussing family and life off the field,” said Josh Allen. “Even though we’ve only had some of these guys for a few months I feel like I’ve known them for a long time, that’s how close and quickly we’ve bonded. The more that you can trust someone off the field, the more you can trust them on it.”’

Allen's leadership role continues to grow entering 7th season
‘In terms of identity in his quarterback, Sean McDermott has seen a difference this year. “I’ve noticed a ratcheted-up form of Josh and from a leadership standpoint,” he said. “(He’s) just being intentional about working extra with his core receivers, backs, tight ends — and if something’s not right, (he’s) being proactive and saying ‘Let’s run that again’ or ‘I need to see that again.'”‘

Ryan O'Halloran: Is Bills' current plan at safety the right plan?
‘Rapp enters camp as a no-doubt starter, Edwards (injury) did very little work during the offseason practices open to the media and Bishop, while full of potential, is a rookie learning a complicated position.’
Bills Mailbag: Who emerges as the team's No. 1 receiver?
‘Brady knows how to best utilize Samuel, and it’s clear he’ll have a role in mind for him. As for Coleman, we’ve seen rookie receivers have big years in the NFL. It’s hard to project him without having seen him take a meaningful snap in a Bills uniform, but the team clearly likes his skill set. The best case for him is he’s a talented rookie who figures to be given a long rope in earning a spot, and he’s got one of the best quarterbacks on the planet throwing to him.’

What to watch at start of Bills’ training camp
‘The Bills targeted Diggs 160 times last season, in line with his first three seasons’ worth: 166 in 2020, 164 in 2021 and 154 in 2022. Since 2020, he’s ranked first, fifth, fifth and seventh in targets among all NFL pass-catchers. Davis, meanwhile, was third on the team with 81 targets last year. In total 56.5% of Josh Allen’s 2023 targets went to players no longer on Buffalo’s roster. So where will they go in 2024? Allen might rely more on Dalton Kincaid in his second year and Khalil Shakir in his third. He also has several fresh faces in the huddle, most notably rookie Keon Coleman and veteran free agent Curtis Samuel.’

Veterans are usually the players McDermott trusts, and Edwards may have the best odds to win the other job.’
