The Buffalo Bills have seen highly respected veterans Eric Wood, Kyle Williams and Lorenzo Alexander retire over the last three seasons, leaving a potential leadership void in the locker room. In today’s edition of the Bills daily links, we look at which veterans—including safeties Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde and defensive end Jerry Hughes—could step up and assume those roles as leaders on and off the field.
We also dissect the NFL’s proposal to eliminate all preseason games due to health concerns caused by the coronavirus, explore what would represent fair statistical benchmarks for Josh Allen as Buffalo’s quarterback enters his third year as a starter, assess whether free-agent wide receiver Stefon Diggs can immediately step into offensive coordinator Brian Daboll’s offense and produce as the team’s No. 1 receiver, analyze the state of the offensive line position, hear why seventh-round draft pick Dane Jackson is an interesting name to watch during training camp, identify four veterans who could be traded before the season starts, and much more!
