Bills

Veteran WR Brandin Cooks hopes to return to the field with the Bills, noting that he originally chose to join the franchise because he believed QB Josh Allen would win the team a Super Bowl.

Dolphins

• Dolphins LB Jordyn Brooks was voted as the seventh-best off-ball linebacker in the league in a poll by coaches and execs: “Brooks has a skill set similar to Demario Davis when he was young — really strong, fast, physical, can play in space, very good tackler,” an NFL coordinator said.

Jets

Jets LB Demario Davis said the team brought him in as a veteran example to reset the culture and also as someone who knows how to prepare each week for game day.

“When I look at what Woody (Johnson) and Darren Mougey and Aaron Glenn are establishing, why they’re bringing me in is to model what they want that culture to look like,” Davis said, via Around The NFL. “When I say leadership, it’s not a title — it’s modeling. What does your lifestyle represent? Because more is caught than taught. So it’s not people are looking for me to come in and have all the right words. How can I be the example of what winning culture looks like? It’s the way that I attack the weight room, it’s the way that I study film, it’s the way that I take care of my body.”

• Davis received an honorable mention in a top-10 off-ball linebackers list voted on by coaches and execs around the league, to which an NFC exec called him “fine wine.” (Jeremy Fowler)
