The Bills pass-catching corps is in transition. With Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis leaving the team this offseason, Buffalo will enter 2024 without its top two receiving yardage-earners and their first and third-most targeted players.

That’s not my position that I’m handling.” Since Williams isn’t represented by an NFLPA-certified …
