In today’s edition of the Buffalo Bills daily links, we take a swing at predicting the Bills’ 53-man roster, looking for which veterans could be on the outside looking in (like defensive end Trent Murphy and wide receivers Duke Williams and Robert Foster) when the Sept. 5 roster deadline arrives.

We hear from linebacker Matt Milano on why he “wouldn’t want to be anywhere else” long-term, analyze the state of the team’s defensive ends, learn why cornerback Josh Norman thinks that Tre’Davious White and Buffalo’s defensive backs are the best in the NFL, figure out where the Bills stand with their salary-cap space now that the opt-out deadline has passed, and much more!
