For the Buffalo Bills, who is a lock, who is on the bubble, and who is just as clueless now as they were when they came to the offseason workouts and minicamps?

Here are your daily links for the Buffalo Bills from around the web.

Bills‘ Biggest Offseason Question Marks

"The Buffalo Bills head into the next portion of their offseason with a few question marks still remaining.For the Bills, who have not reached the postseason since the 1999 season, have only a few uncertainties is a sign of major progress.With players like Sammy Watkins, LeSean McCoy, Percy Harvin and Charles Clay on the roster, Buffalo has a bevvy of offensive talent. The Bills defense is definitely playoff-caliber, and was rated eighth overall by Pro Football Focus last season."

Mario: Kouandjio’s arm length a huge asset

"Going against Mario Williams every day in practice may wind up being the best thing that could happen for Cyrus Kouandjio’s development.  The Pro Bowl defensive end/linebacker gave a quick scouting report last week on the Bills second year tackle, and likes what he sees from him.“His versatility,” Williams responded when I asked what Kouandjio brings to the tackle position.  “He’s a big guy, but he also can move.”Williams went on to cite Kouandjio’s arm length and, although he says he doesn’t know exactly how long his teammates arms are, he’s been in this league long enough to know they’ll give him an edge.  “Compared to other tackles in the league, I mean he’s definitely got that reach.  So as far as pass blocking and run blocking, he has the extension and advantage in that situation.”"

Buffalo Bills 2015 Training Camp Profile: QB Matt Cassel

"Matt Cassel started the 2014 season as the Minnesota Vikings‘ starting quarterback, but a foot injury in Week 3 ended his season and Teddy Bridgewater took over. There was a chance the Vikings would keep him around as their No. 2 quarterback this year, even with a slightly elevated salary, but Cassel was traded to the Buffalo Bills in March and immediately became the front runner to start Week 1 for his new team.The Bills will carry three other quarterbacks into training camp, with 2013 first-round pick EJ Manuel and offseason signing Tyrod Taylor joining Cassel in the competition for the starting job. Matt Simms was claimed off waivers from the New York Jets in late May, but he looks certain to be used strictly in camp and preseason games with little chance to make the final 53-man roster."

Bills‘ Nickell Robey aims to return to his 2013 form

"The world of sports, or sports bloggers at least, is fortunate to have Rex Ryan, a larger-than-life character in the buttoned-up world of NFL coaching. Actually, we’re doubly lucky, because Ryan, of course, has a twin brother, Rob, who also coaches in the NFL and is just like his sibling in so many delightful ways.Rex Ryan took the Bills’ head-coaching job in the offseason, and on Sunday, the Buffalo News ran a lengthy feature about his younger days, which necessarily included plenty of material about Rob, given how inseparable the pair used to be. For instance, well into their 20s, the brothers shared a wallet and a car key."
