The Buffalo Bills made a blockbuster trade on Wednesday, but not the one their fans will particularly like. The team announced that they traded a star wide receiver to the Houston Texans in exchange for a second-round pick in 2025.

As part of the trade, Houston will also get a 2024 sixth-rounder (No. 189 overall) and a fifth-round selection pick in 2025. The Bills are receiving a second-rounder that the Texans previously acquired from the Minnesota Vikings.

By trading Diggs, the Bills are now without a clear No. 1 option at the wide receiver position. They previously also let Gabe Davis, their second-leading receiver last season, walk in free agency. However, general manager Brandon Beane insisted during a press conference on Wednesday that trading Diggs doesn’t indicate a step back for the franchise.

“This is by no means the Bills giving up or trying to take a step back or anything like that. Everything we do, we’re trying to win. And we’re going to continue to do that, “said

Diggs finished the 2023 season with 107 catches for 1,183 yards and eight touchdowns. However, his numbers declined as the season progressed. He failed to eclipse 100 receiving yards since Week 7 and didn’t have a touchdown in the final six games of the regular season.

By acquiring Diggs, the Texans will give their standout quarterback C.J. Stroud another reliable target. He will join a respectable receiving corps that also includes wideouts Nico Collins and Tank Dell and tight end Dalton Schultz.

The Buffalo Bills signed their standout defensive back Taron Johnson to a three-year extension. The new deal ties Johnson to the franchise through the 2027 NFL season.

The Bills confirmed the news without revealing the financial terms of the agreement. According to reports around the league, Johnson’s extension is worth $31 million, which makes him the highest-paid nickel corner in NFL history.

Johnson is coming off his best season as a pro. He finished the 2023 campaign with 98 tackles while adding 1.0 sacks, eight passes defended, and three forced fumbles. He ended up being selected for the Second-team All-Pro honors.

“They treat me like family and I love the guys I’ve played with, I love the guys they’ve brought here,” Johnson said via Bills’ official website. “We’ve been right in it every single year so I just want to continue getting past that point and get to the Super Bowl.”

The Bills selected Taron Johnson in the fourth round of the 2018 NFL Draft. After showing promise in his first two seasons as a pro, Johnson was entrusted with a bigger role in 2020 and used the opportunity in the best way possible. He established himself as an indispensable part of Buffalo’s defense, with his 955 snaps in 2023 being second-most among the entire unit.

Quarterback Mitch Trubisky has agreed to a deal that will see him reunite with the Buffalo Bills. Trubisky will serve as a backup to star signal-caller Josh Allen.

Trubisky became a free agent after being released by the Pittsburgh Steelers last month. According to reports, he inked a two-year contract with the Bills that is worth $5.25 million.

Trubisky spent the 2021 season with the Bills, attempting eight passes and accounting for one rushing touchdown. He then signed a deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers, starting the first four games of the 2022 campaign before being benched in favor of rookie Kenny Pickett. Trubisky received two starts in the 2023 season after Pickett went down with a shoulder injury in Week 13 before losing the job once again to third-stringer Mason Rudolph.

Despite his struggles in recent seasons, Trubisky should be a good pickup for the Bills. He knows the system and comes on a relatively cheap deal. Buffalo needed another QB since last season’s backup, Kyle Allen, is set to become a free agent. 

Mitch Trubisky spent the first four years of his career with the Chicago Bears, who selected him second overall in the 2017 NFL Draft. He has a 31-26 record as a starter in the NFL and has thrown for 1,2536 yards, 72 touchdowns, and 48 interceptions. Trubisky has one Pro Bowl nod to his name.

The Buffalo Bills defeated the Miami Dolphins 21-14 to claim their fourth straight AFC East title and secure a spot in the NFL playoffs. Since arriving at the Bills in 2017, coach Sean McDermott has now made it to the playoffs in each of the past five seasons as well as in six of his seven seasons as coach.

Ultimately, the Dolphins game proved to be little more than an exhibition for the Bills, who managed to qualify for the playoffs prior to the match after fellow contenders Jacksonville Jaguars slumped to an unexpected 28-20 loss to the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.

By defeating the Dolphins, the Bills have claimed their 11th win of the regular season. Alongside the Kansas City Chiefs, the Dolphins are the only side to win 10+ games and a playoff berth in each of the past five seasons.

Despite their struggles early in the 2023 NFL campaign, the Denver Broncos are showing they can keep up with the best teams in football. After beating the reigning Super Bowl champions Kansas City Chiefs in Week 9, the Broncos now got a huge 24-22 win over the favored Buffalo Bills as well.

The Broncos didn’t play at their best but benefited from mistake-riddled Bills, who had four turnovers and essentially handed them the win in the final seconds of the game.

Trailing 21-22, the Broncos received the ball at their own 25 yards with 1:55 left on the clock. Quarterback Russell Wilson and the offense made their way to Buffalo’s 23 yards to set up a potential game-winning field goal for their kicker Wil Lutz.

Lutz sent his 41-yarder wide right, and it seemed like it was over for the Broncos. However, it turned out that the Bills had too many men on the field for the play, and Lutz had a do-over. He made no mistake on his second attempt, drilling the ball between the uprights. 

The win now has the Broncos at 4-5 and dreaming about a potential playoff run. It is something that seemed impossible after the first six weeks when Denver was 1-5.

“We believe in each other. We believe in what we can do,” said quarterback Russell Wilson after the game. “To beat the Chiefs, to beat these guys, it sets a standard of who we should be, who we can be, and who we are going to be.”

The Bulls, on the other hand, have some soul-searching to do. Despite being considered one of the Super Bowl favorites ahead of the season, they are currently 5-5 and face a tough challenge to turn their fortunes.

Josh Allen overcame an injury scare to help the Buffalo Bills to a 24-18 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday night. Allen’s first injury concern came with 11:51 remaining in the second quarter when he was tackled to the ground by linebacker YaYa Diaby. He landed on his right throwing shoulder, yet was able to get back to his feet and shake off the discomfort.

“Took a little, little fall on it and felt a little funky about it, but you know, just trying to keep it warm and keep it loose,” Allen explained after the game. “I’ll be sore for a couple of days, but we’ll be fine.” While backup Kyle Allen was prepped to take his place, the first-choice quarterback was able to continue playing.

Allen’s health is of utmost importance to the Bills and the player has become less involved in rushing as a result. His shoulder was previously injured in the Bills’  14-9 win over the Giants in Week 6 after which he was listed on the injured report.

The Buffalo Bills’ All-Pro linebacker Matt Milano suffered severe leg and knee injuries in a 25-20 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday and will miss the remainder of the 2023 season.

Milano was hurt in the first quarter after trying to pressure Jags’ quarterback Trevor Lawrence and ending in a pile of players from both teams. Reportedly, he suffered a leg fracture, and the Bills also fear he might have torn his ACL.

The loss of Milano will be a tough blow for the Bills, considering his status as one of the best linebackers in the league. The 29-year-old player had his best campaign as a pro in 2022, contributing 99 tackles, 1.5 sacks, 11 pass deflections, three interceptions, and one defensive touchdown. He ended up earning the First-Team All-Pro and Pro Bowl honors.

Milano continued in the same fashion in 2023, recording 30 tackles, two interceptions, and one forced fumble before going down with the injury.

The Bills have been unfortunate with the injuries at the start of the season. They have lost star corner Tre’Davious White to a season-ending ACL injury, while defensive tackle DaQuan Jones is dealing with a pec injury and could also miss significant time.

Buffalo is currently second in the AFC East with a 3-2 record. They are playing the New York Giants in Week 6.

The Buffalo Bills cornerback Tre’Davious White is feared to have suffered a torn right Achilles during the third quarter of his team’s 48-20 win over the Miami Dolphins. This comes just a year after he tore his left ACL. Bills coach Sean McDermott revealed that the player is set to undergo an MRI scan on Monday.

“He’s been through a lot. And sometimes you wonder, right? Why things like that happen twice, you know, to someone,” McDermott commented after the win over the Dolphins.  “I’m not saying what it is, what it isn’t. I’m just saying like, you know, you just wonder why. Because you watch him and how hard he’s worked to get back. And yeah, you know, I just, I know he’s a man of faith. And I know how strong he is. And you know, he will, he will rebound.”

During the last minute of the third quarter, White suffered the noncontact injury as he was attempting to cover wide receiver Tyreek Hill on a fourth-and-1 play.

The Buffalo Bills held a ceremony on Monday in honor of the construction of its new stadium. This comes after years of negotiation in order to secure the approval of New York state and Erie County.

Set to be in use from the 2026 season onwards, the stadium is located on Abbot Road, across from the current Bills’ facility. The agreement for the new stadium includes a 30-year lease and a non-relocation agreement that makes it more challenging to uproot the team to another city.

“While Buffalo isn’t one of the larger NFL markets, the days of us operating as a small-market team are in the past,” chief operating officer Ron Raccuia declared at the ceremony. “On the field, we’ve become a national brand, gaining national attention and attracting national opportunities.”

Buffalo revealed that the new stadium is to be named the Highmark Stadium, thanks to a new naming rights agreement with Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield of Western New York.

Costing $1.54 billion to construct, the new stadium is expected to seat 63,000 spectators. In addition to stacked seating and a canopy overhang to protect from extreme weather conditions, the stadium is to incorporate a natural grass field as opposed to the artificial turf at the current stadium.

The Buffalo Bills have reportedly locked their standout defensive tackle Ed Oliver to a long-term deal. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Oliver inked a four-year extension that will keep him with the organization through the 2027 season.

Oliver’s extension is reportedly worth $68 million, with $45 million coming his way in guaranteed money. He had one year left on his rookie deal that came with $10.753 million in base salary.

Oliver’s contract ranks him in the top six among defensive tackles in terms of guaranteed money. He would probably get even more money if he hadn’t had an up-and-down 2022 campaign that saw him miss four games due to an injury and record just 2.5 sacks.

Ed Oliver was the ninth overall pick by the Bills in 2019. He has shown flashes of talent and ability to make big plays but is yet to do it on a consistent level. Since entering the league, the Houston product totaled 151 tackles, 14.5 sacks, 11 passes deflected, and four forced fumbles.

By handing Oliver a long-term deal, the Bills have taken care of their DT position for the foreseeable future. Prior to the move, they hadn’t had a single defensive tackle under contract past the 2023 season.
