Let’s take a look at some Buffalo Bills news and updates heading into the weekend.
Is Keon Coleman staying in Buffalo?
According to Sal Capaccio, a reporter for WGR 550 Sports Radio, teams reached out to Bills general manager Brandon Beane during the NFL Combine about possibly trading for Keon Coleman.
Brandon Beane said teams reached out to the Bills about Keon Coleman between the Combine and owner’s meetings, but “we shut those down. Our intention is for Keon to be here, so the word was out, so no calls this weekend. We’ve hit the reset button with him and hopefully the… https://t.co/KjR8ZcbU2g

Beane quickly put those rumors to reset and had the following to say about Coleman:
“I think Keon has really been dialed in this offseason,” Beane said. “Excited for what he’ll bring. I think his best year is yet to come here in 2026,” Beane said.
Bills sign Ben VanSumeren

Rookie OLB TJ Parker is happy to be in Buffalo
Rookie TJ Parker was recently interviewed by Maddy Glab of the Buffalo Bills. During the interview, Parker talks about how his life was changed in an instant.
“I still kind of feel like I’m dreaming. I have to get pinched a little bit,” Parker said. “Seriously, it’s been great, these past couple hours, just knowing that I’m a Buffalo Bill for life now.”
The “Bills Mafia” is a very family oriented fanbase, and Parker could not be happier to arrive in Buffalo. According to him, Clemson had a very similar environment.
“I’m coming from an organization in Clemson, where everything was about family, about people. I’m just so glad that Bills Mafia is the same way.”
Parker also discussed what type of mentality he would like to bring to the Bills defense.
“I’m running out there and hitting somebody,” Parker said. “Look, since I was four years old, I told my mom I want to hit somebody, and she threw me in football. I’ve always been physical, always been violent … I’m going to fly around, run to the ball, and we’re going to hit people. “I’m going to work hard and give it all I got,” Parker explained. “I’ll lean on the older vets. We got Chubb and Greg Rousseau, and then Ed. I’m going to lean on those guys as heavily as possible. Just really (try) to get under their wing and just learn quickly, so I can help this team.”
Lastly, Parker mentioned he was looking forward to meeting quarterback Josh Allen.
“It’s going to be amazing. I can’t wait to meet him,” Parker said of playing with Allen. “When we found out I was going to the Bills, there were a couple Bills fans in the background who were probably crying like they won the Super Bowl knowing I was going here. I can’t wait (and will) do whatever it takes to give him the ball back as much as possible so he can go win us some games.”
