The Buffalo Bills have announced its home field has been renamed Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield Stadium following a new naming rights deal with the health insurer.

"We are proud to welcome Highmark to the Buffalo Bills family and we are thrilled to partner with them on a new naming rights deal for our stadium," Bills owner Kim Pegula said.

"We are confident that Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield of Western New York is committed to maintaining their status as a healthcare and philanthropic leader in our region. We look forward to many years of working together with their team creating great memories at not only NFL football games but at many other health and wellness events and community celebrations."

This is the fifth name for the venue.

Brandon Beane says the Buffalo Bills are looking to get a contract extension done with Josh Allen sooner than later.

"It helps you for your planning the sooner you can get that contract done," Beane told the Huddle & Flow podcast. "Again, I hope that we can get him done, if not this year, next year. You don't want to get into the franchise (tag) and all that stuff. It's a tool that you use if you have to to keep a great player, but at the end of the day, we want Josh here for the long term. We want him to be happy, and obviously, we want it to be a deal where we can still put talented players around him because Josh is a competitor. He's not wired for us just to pay him, then not be able to put stuff around him. So we'll try and find that deal that works for him and works for us."

Allen is still under team control through the 2022 season when accounting for his fifth-year option.

The Buffalo Bills have agreed to a contract with Mitchell Trubisky.

Trubisky will serve as the backup quarterback to Josh Allen.

Trubisky was the second overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft ahead of Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson.

Emmanuel Sanders and the Buffalo Bills have agreed to a one-year, $6 million deal.

The deal could include another $500,000 in incentives.

Sanders spent last season with the New Orleans Saints after splitting 2019 with the Denver Broncos and San Francisco 49ers.

The Buffalo Bills are expected to sign Emmanuel Sanders, according to a report.

Sanders, who turns 34 on Wednesday, had 61 receptions for 726 yards and 5 touchdowns as a member of the New Orleans Saints in 2020.

The Buffalo Bills have agreed to a four-year, $44 million deal with linebacker Matt Milano.

Milano will receive $24 million in guaranteed money.

Milano would have been one of the top free agent linebackers on the market.

The Buffalo Bills released John Brown on Wednesday in a salary cap-related move.

The decision cleared $7.93 million in cap space for the coming season.

Buffalo also released defensive lineman Quinton Jefferson. He signed a two-year, $13.5 million contract last offseason as one of several additions to their defensive line. His release clears $6.5 million of salary-cap space.

The Buffalo Bills sent a letter to season ticket holders this week saying the team is raising prices by an average of $8 a seat.

They played the entire 2020 regular season without fans, but hosted some in their two home playoff games.
