All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!

Basham is emphasizing power in his offseason training in hopes of putting offensive tackles in a bind next season.
“This year can either set you up for life or set you up somewhere else,” he said. “I got that mindset, whether it’s at Buffalo or somewhere else, I got to set myself up to be great somewhere.
Surprised no one mentioned Epenesa. Isn't he in his contract year?
It’s fantastic that the Bills have a very real competition for DE spots. They usually carry five on the roster. Depending on if Von Miller starts the year on PUP or IR, complicates the issue.
Right now, the only spots that are almost 100% sure are Von Miller (eventually if not from day one), Rousseau and Leo Floyd.
The other two spots are going to be a dog fight between Epenesa, Basham, Lawson and Ray.
I suspect (but by no means sure) that Epenesa and Basham will be the victors. Ray and Lawson odd men out.
My take is that Boogie got upset when Floyd is signed. From another angle, he knows Floyd is better than him and his status on the Bills team is in jeopardy, at a minimum, play time cut significantly. As a 3rd year man without regular playing time ... the future is not looking great.
My guess is the Bills will still put Von on PUP. So Rousseau, Floyd starters, Epenesa, Basham backups (not much difference though because McDermott rotates heavily). Lawson also makes it like last year, as an injury insurance (which actually wound up with the highest snap count among DEs).
