Former teammate sold him on Buffalo. Now he’s a Bill.

‘“He was selling this place hard when I was telling him the Bills called me,” Gaines said the other day following his first practice on One Bills Drive. “It was like back in March and he’s like, ‘Dude, come on, let’s go.’ He’s talking about how great this place is, so he definitely helped sell it a little bit. He just said he loved it up here. The staff is amazing, the facilities are awesome, guys are great. And that’s something that I look for, too.”’
