Bills Mafia Superthread

I’d like to see them keep Cook for sure, but this tactic of deleting all team presence from his socials as a negotiation tactic leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

We got rid of a diva already, we don’t need another one.

It's not unusual actually.  I could never really figure out why they do it.

The University of Wyoming Intercollegiate Athletics Hall of Fame recently announced the 2025 inductees with Josh Allen being one of them. A press release from the school reads:

Quote

 

Three of the most-decorated football players ever to play at Wyoming, a trailblazing men’s basketball player, a record-setting baseball player, a versatile women’s basketball player, and a star wrestler comprise the Hall’s 32nd Class. This year’s inductees are Josh Allen (football, 2015-17), Casey Bramlet (football, 2000-2003), Curt Jimerson (men’s basketball, 1961-63), Hugh Lowham (wrestling, 1962-64), Mike Mulvaney (baseball, 1985-88), Lori Kline Waddell (women’s basketball, 1979, 1981-83), and John Wendling (football, 2003-06).

The 32nd annual induction ceremony will be held at the Marian H. Rochelle Gateway Center on campus on Friday, Sept. 5, 2025.

The most popular and dynamic player ever to play at UW, Josh Allen brought the national spotlight to Wyoming football. Allen quarterbacked the Cowboys to two consecutive eight-win seasons, a berth in the Mountain West Championship game in 2016 and two bowl games. Over his career at Wyoming, Allen accounted for 5,833 yards of total offense, with 5,066 passing yards and 767 rushing yards. He was responsible for 57 touchdowns during his career, 44 passing, 12 rushing, and one receiving. He graduated in December 2017 with a bachelor’s degree in social science. He was drafted by the Buffalo Bills with the 7th pick in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft, Wyoming’s highest-ever draft pick. He earned second team All-Mountain West Conference honors in 2016 and honorable mention in 2017. He was a two-time team captain and a tremendous leader. While at Wyoming, he participated in the Manning Passing Academy, was the 2017 pre-season Mountain West Conference Offensive Player of the Year, was on watch lists for the Walter Camp Award, the Maxwell Award, the Manning Award, and the Davey O’Brien Award. He was the MVP of the 2017 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl. He participated in the Senior Bowl and was named the North Team Most Outstanding Player.

A total of 196 individuals and 25 teams have been inducted into the Hall of Fame since its inception in 1993. The Hall of Fame Committee met in January to make its final selections for this year’s class. The inductees must fit into one of five categories: student-athlete, coach, team, athletics staff member or special achievement. The special achievement category includes individuals who have contributed to the ideal of sports at the University. Each nominee must receive at least 75 percent of the committee’s vote to be eligible for induction.

Where did you see this?  I can't find anything about this.  There is some clickbait on a few bills fan pages but I don't think it's true.

INDIANAPOLIS - Friday afternoon at the NFL Scouting Combine is when the bulk of the on-field excitement takes place inside Lucas Oil Stadium because that’s the day when the quarterbacks, wide receivers and running backs will be put through various drills by NFL coaches.

But for the Buffalo Bills, the more interesting workout day will be Thursday because while general manager Brandon Beane certainly needs to be looking at adding a wide receiver, and maybe even a running back, he has more pressing needs on defense.

Thursday is when defensive linemen (as well as linebackers and kickers) will be on the field, and when you look at Buffalo’s roster, the defensive line must be addressed in this draft.

Sportskeeda’s Tony Pauline reported on Sunday that he was told the Bills are expected to put in a bid for Myles Garrett.

Quote

I mentioned the Buffalo Bills as a team targeting edge rusher Preston Smith several days ago. I’m told the Bills will also put in a bid for Myles Garrett in the hopes they could pry the pass rusher away from the Cleveland Browns. Garrett has requested a trade from the team.

ESPN’s Dan Graziano also reported the latest on Garrett on Sunday. Although he said that the Browns are telling teams there is no conversation to be had about potentially acquiring Garrett, Graziano listed the Bills and Eagles as two teams he expects to be “most aggressive” for Garrett.

Former Steelers edge rusher Preston Smith, who was released as a salary-cap casualty just a few weeks ago, is getting a lot of interest here at the combine. 

Three teams, most prominently the Buffalo Bills, have expressed a desire to sign Smith once free agency begins. If it happens, it would be a great coupling, as Buffalo needs depth at pass rusher, and Smith wants to finish his career with a playoff team.

Smith, 32, was acquired by the Steelers in exchange for a 2025 seventh-round pick at the trade deadline in a deal with the Green Bay Packers. The veteran recorded two sacks in eight games with the Steelers and finished the season with 4.5 total between Pittsburgh and Green Bay.

Orchard Park, N.Y. — Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakiragreed to terms on a new four-year contract last week and the first text message he received after the news broke made him smile.

“I’m gonna put myself on blast here a little bit – but I drive a Subaru,” Shakir said. “So, the guys always make fun of me for what I drive, and Curtis was like, ‘Congrats man, now you can go get yourself another car.’”

Shakir bought a used 2021 white Subaru with tinted windows when he arrived in Buffalo in 2022 as a fifth-round draft pick. Since then, the 25-year-old has evolved into one of Buffalo’s top playmakers and the Bills rewarded him with a four-year contract worth a reported $62 million last week.

When the season ended, Shakir met with his representatives and told him he wanted to be a Bill.

“Buffalo is a special place,” Shakir said. “I knew from when I stepped through these doors, that I wanted to be here. ... There is nothing like putting that Bills jersey on and going out there, and you know, Bills Mafia, there is nothing like it, so I’m just super grateful.”

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- The Bills are releasing pass rusher Von Miller ahead of the league year, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The move opens up $8.4 million in cap space and helps the team as they get under the cap before the start of the league year Wednesday.

The team is open to bringing Miller, who turns 36 on March 26, back, the sources told Schefter.

The move brings $15.4 million in dead cap for this year. Miller was under contract through 2027.

That's one way of staying under the salary cap.

Not going to say I didn't see that coming.  I love the guy but he hasn't been much of a contributor with injuries and probably age at this point.
