On September 16, 2018, the Buffalo Bills were facing off with the Los Angeles Chargers. At halftime, cornerback Vontae Davis made a pretty startling announcement: he was retiring.

Josh Norman of the Buffalo Bills — also of limitless self-confidence — made some bold claims about the fact that the 32-year-old wouldn’t have to face off against a living legend in New England: Tom Brady.

It’s a hard no. Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane emphatically denied reports that the team is willing to reunite with Sammy Watkins. “That’s 100% false.

The Jacksonville Jaguars are apparently shopping running back Leonard Fournette, and the Buffalo Bills are a team that has been mentioned as a potential destination. And it makes perfect sense.
