Buffalo Bills: Things We Know This Week

“Things That Make You Go Hmmm…” – Arsenio Hall

Rookie minicamp officially kicked off this weekend.

“The main thing is teach them some things and see what they can learn, process, all that stuff, especially some of the tryout guys we do have serious interest in. I think last year we signed Ja’Marcus Ingram and Kingsley [Johnathan] from this camp, so we’ve signed some guys in the past. We’re definitely evaluating some of these other guys and part of that is how are they mentally fitting, is this going to be a big adjustment or are they picking it up pretty quick?” – Brandon Beane

10 voluntary OTA practices will occur between May 22nd and June 8th.

“Every coach I’ve worked with is different in some way. I think I got a really good one here.” –Dalton Kincaid

June 13th is the date in which mandatory mini-camp will commence.

St. John Fisher University will host Buffalo Bills training camp in late July.

Case Keenum, Devin Singletary, Tremaine Edmunds, Tommy Sweeney, Jaquan Johnson, and Isaiah McKenzie were on the roster the last time the Bills played a game. They will not be at camp as they are now members of other NFL teams.

Cole Beasley, Greg Van Roten, Taiwan Jones, Dean Marlowe, and Rodger Saffold were on that same roster against the Cincinnati Bengals and are currently free agents.

Don’t be looking for several players who were on IR last season. Jamison Crowder and Marquez Stevenson have gained employment with other NFL teams. Jake Kumerow is currently a free agent.
