Who is better Marcell Dareus or Ndamukong Suh? LeSean McCoy is being stated as a cast away from Philadelphia and needs to prove himself again here in Buffalo.  Percy Harvin went back to the basics this offseason at Buffalo Bills camp and re-learned how to run a route.

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

NFL: Wyckoff’s Chris Hogan fits the Bills – Football – NorthJersey.com

"A few years ago, Chris Hogan might have been a little bit tenser about this upcoming week.He reports to training camp with the Bills on Thursday and the wide receiver from Wyckoff must prove himself to a new coaching staff led by ex-Jet boss Rex Ryan while playing on a one-year deal. The bombastic Ryan’s arrival has heightened expectations for the team while the importation of ex-Eagle running back LeSean McCoy and hybrid receiver Percy Harvin, who last played for the Jets, means increased competition for getting his hands on the football."

Who’s better at DT, Dareus or Suh?

"If only there was video footage of Buffalo Bills General Manager Doug Whaley and Marcell Dareus the moment news broke of Ndamukong Suh’s $114 million contract. One had to be thrilled, the other not so much.The bulldozing defensive tackle Dareus enters the final year of his rookie contract and the timing couldn’t be more perfect for him."

Bills refuse to make a snap judgment at quarterback

"Every article, analysis or casual conversation about the Buffalo Bills this offseason has circled back to one conclusion, followed by an inescapable question.This team looks loaded … but who the heck is going to play quarterback?With training camp starting Friday, finding an answer will be priority No. 1 for coach Rex Ryan and offensive coordinator Greg Roman.The three candidates – EJ Manuel, Matt Cassel and Tyrod Taylor – failed to separate themselves in any meaningful way during spring practices. It may not be until the week before the Sept. 13 season opener against the Indianapolis Colts before a winner is named. That has left plenty of time for debate and worry in Bills Nation."

Cast aside by Eagles, Bills‘ McCoy has plenty to prove

"The Buffalo Bills have made the big-splash signing before. Hope always gives way to futility.There was Big Bad Voodoo Daddy singing “Drew Bledsoe is going to take us … to the Super Bowl!” to the beat of “Jack & Diane” at Ralph Wilson Stadium in 2002. XFL-like jerseys were unveiled. Bledsoe disappeared and the wretched garb wasn’t far behind.There was Marv Levy’s miserable run as general manager in which he shelled out $75 million in combined contracts to offensive linemen Derrick Dockery and Langston Walker."

Bills WR Percy Harvin ‘needed plenty of detailed instruction on how to run routes’ this offseason

"Percy Harvin joined the Bills this offseason, making them his fourth team in seven seasons. Part of the issue is his locker room presence which earned him the unfavorable distinction of “most hated player in the locker room” by Sports Illustrated. The bigger issue is his inability play his position. Despite the fact Harvin is heading into his seventh NFL season, he reportedly, “needed plenty of detailed instruction on how to run routes during the offseason. He made progress, but needs to make more.”"
