Bills have few healthy WRs ahead of Week 2 preseason vs. Bears

Bills have few healthy WRs ahead of Week 2 preseason vs. Bears

The Buffalo Bills are in familiar territory this summer, having to navigate another swell of injuries before the regular season’s even begun. The issue has plagued Buffalo’s offense this year, most notably to the wide receivers room. That doesn’t bode well for a team intent on taking the next level with current NFL MVP quarterback Josh Allen.

Injuries or not, it’s Super Bowl or bust in 2025. But right now, the Bills’ passing game is a bit busted up, with already established injuries to top target Khalil Shakir (high ankle sprain), the dynamic Curtis Samuel (hamstring), and Tyrell Shavers (ankle)....

Bills’ Week 1 preseason told us more than simply who played well

Bills’ Week 1 preseason told us more than simply who played well

We watched the Buffalo Bills played NFL football recently. It was on my television. I saw it.

The old adage is that preseason don’t count, but it does matter. I’m inclined to agree with the wisdom of the ages, but the football matters for some of us in a different way than it matters for others.

The biggest takeaways from preseason games usually revolves around how a specific player plays. It’s a qualitative conversation. The focus is on the quality of the passes they threw, the quality of the routes they ran, the quality of the reads they made, or...

90 Buffalo Bills players in 90 days: K Caden Davis

90 Buffalo Bills players in 90 days: K Caden Davis

The Buffalo Bills appeared to be set at kicker entering the 2025 season. They only had one on the roster as training camp began, so there was no reason to think otherwise. However, once the man presumed to be their kicker began missing practice due to soreness in a rather sensitive area, that necessitated a move.

In today’s installment of “90 players in 90 days,” we discuss the other man who is trying to be the Bills’ kicker in 2025.

James Cook contract extension done

James Cook contract extension done

The Buffalo Bills and running back James Cook have agreed on a massive four-year extension, per multiple reports. The deal is for $12 million annually for a total of $48 million including $30 million guaranteed. As always, I would encourage you to wait from the full details to come out before you react. Cook turns 26 in September, so this deal will carry him through age 30.

Cook had been involved in a back and forth negotiation with the team since at least March of 2025, when he began publicly commenting for an extension and asking to be paid $15...

“Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Buffalo Bills” Ep. 2 open thread

A week after their “Hard Knocks” debut on HBO Max, the Buffalo Bills are back in the spotlight this evening with episode 2 of their in-depth look at training camp. The first episode was chock full of feel-good moments, highlighted a reunion featuring cornerback Tre’Davious White and left tackle Dion Dawkins’ children. Plus, White found his name attached to a new offering at Pittsford Farms Dairy, the “Tredae Sundae.”

Other memorable moments showed a bit of Dawkins’ off-field life, Allen working through drills with Joshua Palmer, and even wide receiver K.J. Hamler’s Target excursion to find an electric scooter. One...

McDermott says “getting short on time” for Bills S Cole Bishop

McDermott says “getting short on time” for Bills S Cole Bishop

Before the Buffalo Bills took the practice field on Tuesday, head coach Sean McDermott fielded questions about the team in preparation for their Week 2 preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. McDermott always begins scheduled media sessions by providing an injury update, often leading to key follow-up questions. Tuesday’s update and comments by McDermott proved to be a little more interesting than typical.

Second-year safety Cole Bishop, who’s currently dealing with a quadriceps injury, returned to practice on a limited basis. That’s good news, considering he’s missed a significant chunk of time on the practice field this spring and summer....

Deone Walker shows potential in Preseason Week 1

Deone Walker shows potential in Preseason Week 1

The Buffalo Bills hosted the New York Giants in Preseason Week 1 and came away with a scoreboard loss, but an analysis victory. With no significant injuries from the game, the Bills were able to see some new faces in action including fourth-round pick, defensive tackle Deone Walker.


Play 1: Swim time

Please note that the All-22 was only available for select plays, which makes for a bit tougher time evaluating players on the line. Here’s one play of Walker’s I was able to get — and notice the highlighted swim move. First and foremost the move helps...

90 Buffalo Bills players in 90 days: LB Matt Milano

The Buffalo Bills were missing one of their best defensive players for the majority of the last two seasons. After this linebacker earned his first All-Pro nod in 2022, it’s been tough sledding, as he’s dealt with multiple serious injuries that derailed his 2023 and 2024 seasons.

While that obviously wasn’t ideal for the player, there is a silver lining for the team. That All-Pro’s backup earned valuable experience over the past two seasons, and he actually led the team in tackles in 2024. That’s despite the fact that the All-Pro returned to start four of Buffalo’s final six games...

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook was back on the field with teammates on Tuesday, a welcome sign amid a continued contract dispute with the team. Cook’s return followed a series of hold-ins that saw him miss the final week of training camp at St. John Fisher University and Buffalo’s first preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

As was the case during previous media sessions, head coach Sean McDermott announced that he expected Cook to practice after having recently had “good discussions” with Cook. The Pro Bowl running back is seeking a new contract that would make him one of...

Another look at Jaxon Dart’s TD vs. Buffalo Bills

Another look at Jaxon Dart’s TD vs. Buffalo Bills

In the aftermath of the Buffalo Bills’ 34-25 preseason loss to the New York Giants, much has been made about the play of quarterback Jaxon Dart. It was Dart’s first NFL action against another NFL team. At first blush, things went decently well for Dart — who finished 12-of-19 for 154 yards with one touchdown, adding three carries for 24 yards (a long of 19 yards).

There are a lot of positives to take away from Dart’s first game action. It’s important to remember, however, that by the time Dart entered the game Buffalo had pulled almost every defensive starter....

90 Buffalo Bills players in 90 days: RB Ty Johnson

90 Buffalo Bills players in 90 days: RB Ty Johnson

The Buffalo Bills, like most other modern NFL clubs, use a committee approach to their offensive backfield. The days of 300-carry backs are largely gone, although there were as many players to hit the 300-carry plateau last season (six) as there were in the previous three seasons combined. That might signal a shift in usage for some teams, or might just have been an anomaly.

For the Bills, their leading rusher hasn’t topped 300 carries since 2005, when Willis McGahee rushed 325 times for 1,247 yards. Only once in head coach Sean McDermott’s tenure has a running back even eclipsed...
