‘”He will have an impact,” Barber told CBS Sports Thursday. “I don’t know how big it will be early on with Josh Allen and that different system they are likely going to be running. You know, for sure a guy who gets separation the way he does, for a big play target who is a smart, seasoned veteran. he will have an impact. The question is how big will it be?’

McDermott 'happy to have' Cooper in Buffalo
‘”It is a physical game, and you need to be a physical team, an aggressive football team. The way we position it is, hey, the ones that are pre snap, those are discipline, those are focus penalties. The ones that are post whistle, same as and those are the ones that we declare as non negotiable, absolutely non negotiable. You’re going to get an aggressive penalty via a hold once in a while, don’t love them, but we preach technique all the time. The ones that happen after the ball snapped and before the whistle, if those are aggressive penalties, those are going to happen from time to time, but those other ones that I already outlined, those are, those are non negotiable.”‘
Opinion: It's good to be home
‘The Bills might have a big day from the left side of their pass rush come Sunday. The Titans benched starting right tackle Nicholas Petit-Frere after the fourth game. Leroy Watson IV was a little better last Sunday against the Colts, but if/when Greg Rousseau is on the left side, it could lead to multiple sacks.’

Carucci Take 2: Cooper’s Bills debut could be the most interesting part of Sunday's game
‘There’s no time to waste in determining exactly what the Bills have from the receiver they acquired in a trade with the Cleveland Browns Tuesday. He’s under contract for only the 11 remaining games of the regular season and for however long the postseason lasts for them.’

PlayAction Column: Bills' Aaron Kromer faces mentor in Titans' Bill Callahan
‘Kromer, hired by Bills coach Sean McDermott in 2022, has developed into one of the most highly regarded offensive line coaches in the NFL. Part of the reason is Kromer had a great mentor in Callahan, who is widely viewed as one of the better offensive line coaches in league history.’

Cooper appears, Cook, Oliver return to Bills practice Thursday, Davis added to injury report
‘Cooper joins a Bills wide receiver room that includes Khalil Shakir, Curtis Samuel, Mack Hollins and rookie Keon Coleman. Veteran WR Marquez Valdez-Scantling was released by the team after the trade for Cooper. Buffalo is hoping the new addition can open things up for the team’s other targets, which, with the exception of Shakir, have struggled to find their footing early in the year.’
Ajay's Analysis: WR Cooper brings much-needed skillset to Bills offense
‘Bringing in Cooper made sense for both sides, as Buffalo needed a high-end wide receiver talent. The Browns are 1-5 with Cooper in the final year of his contract. The Bills owe their new piece roughly $800,000 for the final 11 games of the 2024 season. Cooper is a cost-controlled rental for the Bills, and even if things do not go as planned, adding the former Browns wide receiver does minimal damage, if any, to the team’s plans moving forward.’
Tyler Bass trying to work out of a slump as Bills add pressure by signing another kicker
‘Bass is in the first year of a four-year, $21 million extension signed April 20, 2023, and his $7.83 million dead cap hit makes releasing him difficult. But after missing a field goal and an extra point against the New York Jets, the Bills appear to be inching closer to making a switch, which is something that franchise hasn’t done in-season since 2001.’
