Let me give you the backstory here. Last week when Josh Allen walked onto the field he stopped and hugged someone. I wanted to learn the backstory. Here it is. Let me introduce you to my new friend Kyle. www.wkbw.com/sports/buffa...
'The Bills are the greatest guys I've ever met': Longtime volunteer lifting spirits at training camp
McGonigal started volunteering at St. John Fisher for training camp in 2005. He’s 42 years old and also works at Wegmans in its Helping Hands department.

Camp has been pretty lackluster. Today it all changed. Day five was exceptional. My thoughts:
Sparks fly at Buffalo Bills training camp with day five headlined by DJ Moore & several fights
Maybe it’s been the rain, or maybe the lack of pads was holding players back. But Tuesday made up for the first four days and then some.

We need to recalibrate our brains. In 2026 $4.5 million isn't a "big" contract. It's all about the percentage of the cap. Krebs new deal is 4.3% of the Sabres salary cap. It's the same percentage as a $3.5M contract in the year he joined Sabres.
Why the Peyton Krebs extension is a smart move for the Buffalo Sabres
On Monday, Peyton Krebs agreed to a four-year extension with the Sabres worth $4.5 million per season.

Will the Sabres trade the 4th overall pick? If they do, these are the players to target and the players I believe they should avoid. Let me know what you think 🤔

Zach Benson is the type of player every team wishes they had. I truly believe he’s a few years away from being the Sabres most impactful forward. Love this deal for the Sabres. More of my thoughts here:
Buffalo Sabres sign Zach Benson on 7-year deal, worth $7.5M
Buffalo Sabres forward Zach Benson was one of the team's most dominant players in the playoffs last season, and on Wednesday, Benson agreed to a seven-year deal worth $7.5M per season.

Alex Tuch and Bo Byram are very good players. But the Sabres made the right decision by moving on. Jarmo Kekäläinen passed his first big test.
Why moving on from Alex Tuch and Bowen Byram are the right decisions for the Buffalo Sabres
On the outside, this may look like a mass exodus from a team that’s struggling to retain talented players. But what’s really happening is completely different.

For seven quarters last season Michael Hoecht felt like one of the best players in the NFL. Then he got hurt. Now he's ready to show what we can do in a full season and he feels "great" as he recovers from a torn Achilles.

Landon Jackson has transformed his body with 5,000 calories per day & plenty of time in the weight room. Jackson knows the only thing that matters is producing on the field, but this is a hell of a start.
Landon Jackson explains how he gained 25 pounds & why the Buffalo Bills will benefit from it
Jackson has gained about 25 pounds. He is hoping to gain five to 10 more before the season begins. But how does an athlete burning thousands of calories every day add healthy weight?

I really liked what Josh Doan said today. I asked him about how the Sabres will try to contain the Canadiens high-end talent. Oh, and it certainly feels like we could see Sam Carrick soon 👀

This was a really impressive win for the Sabres. With four games left, they still very much have a chance at the top spot in the Atlantic or securing home ice in the first round 👀
5 Observations: With four games left, securing home ice is still a possibility for Buffalo Sabres
Monday’s matchup was certainly not as crazy as their last game, but that’s exactly what the Sabres wanted, and they rewarded a ruckus crowd with a 4-2 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning.

I wanted to make a list of players the Bills should be targeting in free agency. So I did. Here are 10 players I believe they should strongly consider.
Why the Buffalo Bills should be targeting these 10 players in free agency
The Bills won’t be one of the most aggressive teams in free agency because of their limited salary cap space, but that doesn’t mean they can’t notably improve their team.
