Bills coverage and the NFL http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net The Bills needed a receiver and got one in round two to compliment Lee Evans.. they selected James Hardy, a big guy with good speed http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net The Bills have selected CB Leodis McKelvin at #11... a great pick for them after losing Nate Clements last year. McKelvin is a great cover corner and yes he may not get a lot of interceptions, but receivers going against him won't catch much either. There had been lots of talk of a receiver here and that would have been horrible. They can address that later http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net Ok here is our final 2008 NFL Mock Draft. Glad we got the first pick right and guaranteed not to get all 32 thanks to the Patriots, but never came close anyway http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net So it's time to release our first 2008 NFL Mock Draft - another will come Friday before the draft. There is lots of intrigue and different scenarios and some trades will factor in of course, but we'll take a look where things are at now. See our 2008 NFL Mock Draft http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net The NFL draft is a crapshoot and the 2008 version appears to be a little more than usual. No true #1 pick, some safer picks, some with more upside.... then there is the one constant, the danger of drafting a wide receiver in round one. Rookie receivers usually do not make a big impact, junior wide receivers may be flashy choices but are even more dangerous. This year the name moving up the charts is Devin Thomas... who? He is from Michigan State and a one year wonder. Let's see a junior with only one year of production, runs fast and has good size.. shoot him up the board.... danger! What about a couple receivers who were consider near the top - Mario Manningham and Malcolm Kelly - both juniors and both falling down the boards. Neither ran a quality 40 time, but they have excuses. Those are part of the problem. Manningham lied about failing drug tests in college, then admitted to it and then sounded like an idiot on a national radio show. He clearly doesn't get it, but it appears NFL GM's do and there is little chance he goes in round one now. Kelly didn't run well and blamed his school for changing the surface he was to run on.... you see he had special shoes and everything. Ok this shoe thing is true of everyone now a days (ugh) but to come out and bash the school was an immature and dumb move on his part. Why do people get so caught up on a 40 time of someone on a track with special shoes when they have been preparing to run this drill for months. Are they ever asked to run the 40 without pads and in tracks shoes during a game? Jerry Rice ran a 4.55 40 coming out of college but didn't look that slow when the speedy Redskins corner Darrell Green was chasing him... who really cares. I understand it has some value but it is far too overrated. How many times do receivers run in the 4.3s and then you hear people say that team needs receivers you can stretch the field and their current group isn't getting it done. The 40 speed doesn't make them a deep threat. Even better there have been top track guys playing receiver in the NFL and referred to as more of a possession guy... not saying the assessment was wrong but pointing out they were track stars just a couple years ago... NFL speed is different than track speed. Being fast at one doesn't make you fast at the other, get it? There are plenty of teams needing a receiver and some will reach for one, more will regret than will rejoice and fans will be excited in April and forget their names in October... such is life in the NFL in April http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net The Buffalo Bills have resigned DT Jason Jefferson, CB Dustin Fox and WR Scott Mayle http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net The Titans have signed former Bills LB Josh Stamer http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net The Bills have signed former Eagles CB William James (the corner previously known as Will Peterson with the Giants) to add further depth to their secondary http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net The Buffalo Bills have resigned safety Bryan Scott who was a valuable pickup last year. He started the season on the street but was signed after injuries to the secondary and proved a valuable addition http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net The Buffalo Bills have resigned offensive lineman Jason Whittle. He was part of a blurry of first day moves last year to improve the offensive line... and was part of the flurry of injuries the team suffered all year. He was placed on the IR early with a torn hamstring, but will return to add depth at all 3 interior spots http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net The Patriots have signed former Bills CB Jason Webster to add depth to what has become a depleted secondary. Webster if healthy could serve as a nickel corner http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net Cardinals WR Bryant Johnson is in Buffalo today meeting with the Bills as they look to find a starting receiver http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net The Lions have signed former Bills TE Michael Gaines to a 4 year deal http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net The Bills have signed former Vikings DT Spencer Johnson to add to the line with newly acquired Marcus Stroud. Earlier in the week they dumped Larry Tripplett as they revamp the d'line http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net The Jaguars have traded DT Marcus Stroud to to the Buffalo Bills for a 3rd and 5th round pick this year (sound like a familiar cost?). There had reports that Stroud cut his visit short, but obviously everything was worked. Stroud gives them a major presence inside, provided he behaves as he is one strike away from a year long suspension http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net The Buffalo Bills have released DT Larry Tripplett, who was signed to a 5 year $18 million deal two years ago on the first day of free agency never developed as they hoped. They paid more for potential than anything he had yet done and today ended the mistake http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net The Buffalo Bills were last year on day one of free agency and again this year, landing former Giants LB Kawika Mitchell. They are also visiting with Marcus Stroud, currently of the Jaguars but is available via trade http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net The Buffalo Bills have released CB Kiwaukee Thomas who finished last year on the injured reserve. Thomas is a solid nickel back and will get some action in free agency http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net The Bills have trimmed the roster a bit, releasing RB Anthony Thomas, LB Coy Wire, CB Jerametrius Butler and guard Aaron Merz http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net No surprise but the Buffalo Bills have dumped WR Peerless Price. Oh how things can change and you can never go back. Price spent his first four years in the league with the Bills and he and Eric Moulds created a great combo. After the 2002 season in which he caught 94 balls for 1,252 yards he went for the big money in free agency with the Atlanta Falcons and the chance to be a #1 receiver and step out of the shadow of Moulds. That backfired to say the least! He caught 64 passes the first year with the Falcons and 45 the second before getting released as a huge disappointment. He then signed on with Dallas who let a similar player go, anyone remember Alvin Harper, and he caught a whopping 6 passes for them before heading home to Buffalo in 2006 where he did a bit better with 49 receptions but for a measly 402 yards and last year played only 4 games and caught 7 balls.... the Price isn't right anymore http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net Ah yes tax time is near and the pain of seeing how much money we fork over to cause deep pain in our stomachs. Then of course there is all the good that comes from it, such as members of congress spending the day listening to the he said she said of Roger Clemens and Brian McNamee (don't forget Andy Pettitte too) and now a new wonderful word "Nannygate", ugh what has this world come to? Add to that Arlen Specter grilling NFL commissioner Roger Goodell over the spygate issue, threatening congressional hearings and the league's antitrust exemption. Do these blowhard's not have anything better to do with their days??? Do we not have any serious issues to be tackled in this great country that we have time to bicker and seek headlines with this crap? Hey guys call me when you fix the economy, health care, homelessness in this rich country and a list longer than.... then we can get around to which retired baseball players did what. Other than Barry Bonds the rest of this is ridiculous and makes me not want to pay attention to the sports we all love so much. This country has become addicted to soap opera's and reality crap where everyone wants their 15 minutes. It's not like this is all brand new, the Steelers of the 70s admittedly used steroids and they certainly were not alone but no one is calling to take back their Super Bowl wins. Lester Hayes is probably my favorite corner of all time, but he reported used something to help him get a better grip. Can we all just move on and focus on trying to fix things rather than going over the top about the past. Either way Roger was dominant, the Patriots were superior and as much as it pains us Bonds was a Hall of Famer before they all crossed the line http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net The Buffalo Bills have promoted QB coach Turk Schonert to be their 5th offensive coordinator since 2000. More change.. but is that a good thing? The offense needs to improve but that can be hard with the constant change, especially on young QB's like Losman and Edwards. The new coordinator being their QB coach last year helps but only somewhat http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net Bills GM Marv Levy has stepped down from his post http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net Bills offensive coordinator Steve Fairchild has been hired as the new head coach for Colorado State, but he will finish the season with the Bills first http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net The NFL suffered a tragedy with the loss of Redskins safety Sean Taylor who was shot in his home during a suspected buglary, he was 24 years old. We extend our sympathy to Sean's family, friends and teammates http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net The Bills didn't just lose QB J.P. Losman on Sunday but also rookie LB Paul Posluszny who broke his forearm in the game http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net The Buffalo Bills season is heading south, that is the nice way of saying it. Another way would be swirling down the porcelain... after a 38-7 loss to the Patriots. J.P. Losman left the game with a knee injury and Trent Edwards was no match for the Patriots defense. On offense Tom Brady and Randy Moss continue to ake it look easy. Brady threw for 311 yards completing almost 80% of his passes and Moss had 115 yards and a pair of TDs http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net Bills QB J.P. Losman is out with a kne injury and rookie Trent Edwards is in against a smart and tough Pariots D http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net The Steelers and new head coach Mike Tomlin are off to an impressive 2-0 start after thumping the Bills 26-3. Ben Roethlisberger had another good day and Willie Parrker ran for 126 yards. The Bills offense just couldn't get it rolling, their defense was led by LB Paul Posluszny who had 12 tackles http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net The Buffalo Bills have signed former Falcons and Saints safety Bryan Scott and DE Copeland Bryan from the Bears practice squad. They replace Ko Simpson and Eric Powell http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net The Bills have placed safety Ko Simpson on IR after he fractured his ankle Sunday and released DE Eric Powell http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net Kevin Everett had surgery Sunday night after his spine injury and the team is awaiting more news, but that wasn't the only injury of the day. Safety Ko Simpson, CB Jason Webster and LB Coy Wire all suffered tough injuries as well, Simpson broke his ankle, Webster broke his arm and Wire suffered a sprained knee. A bad and sobering Sunday for Buffalo http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net Bills tight end Kevin Everett suffered a cervical spine injury today and was taken to the hospital for observation. No word word yet on his condition, but it didn't look good. We hope everything is ok http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net The Jaguars need to do their shopping a bit better, only two days after signing LB Chris Claiborne to a one year deal they released him because he was too out of shape. He was replaced when the team claimed Roy Manning off waivers from Buffalo http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net The Buffalo Bills have locked up DE Aaron Schobel with a new contract extension worth just over $50 million and $21 million guaranteed according to ESPN. He is now under contract for 7 more years through 2013. Schobel doesn't get a lot of recognition but is a premier pass rusher, trailing only the Dolphins Jason Taylor for most sacks since 2003 http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net Here is a great article by Fox Sports' John Czarnecki about how the NFL rookie are being paid way too much. "It doesn't make sense that LaRon Landry is the highest paid safety in the game," Cowboys executive Stephen Jones told me. "And that Joe Thomas (Cleveland's top pick) has a better deal than Tom Brady. For example, Chiefs running back Larry Johnson signed yesterday for less guaranteed money than what Johnson and Thomas collected, and only a moron would say those rookies deserve more than one of the NFL's best running backs... we're right there with you John, good work http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net The Buffalo Bills have signed former Panthers DE Al Wallace. The Bills needed depth at end and Wallace has been a solid backup for the Panthers and is stout against he run and a capable pass rusher. Age is working against him at 33 but his veteran savvy is a plus for the Bills who are young at the spot http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net The Chicago Bears added to their defensive line to start camp acquiring DT Darwin Walker from the Buffalo Bills for an undisclosed pick. Walker was traded to the Bills earlier this off season from Philadelphia but wasn't happy and didn't join the team. Walker could help fill the void left by Tank Johnson and the others who left via free agency. The Bills rid themselves of a problem but get basically nothing in return for Takeo Spikes and Kelly Holcomb http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net J.P. Losman is back at practice for the Bills, no pun intended. Losman missed practice with a sore back but returned Friday http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net The Buffalo Bills have signed first round pick Marshawn Lynch to a six year deal worth up to $18.9 million with $10.275 million guaranteed according to the Buffalo News. Lynch will take over for the departed Willis McGahee http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net Bills QB J.P. Losman is watching the beginning of training camp due to a strained back. The team hopes he isn't out long and calling him day to day http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net The Tennessee Titans added veteran depth at receiver signing former Bills and Texans WR Eric Moulds to a one year deal. The Titans had sniffed around earlier in the off season and didn't bite, but now on the eve of camp decided they needed a veteran presence. No guarantee of a roster spot as they are high on their young receivers, but don't count on Moulds being released. Vince Young needs a veteran presence to mix in with the youth and Moulds is a good fit http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net The Buffalo Bills have signed second round pick Paul Posluszny and will have him on the field for the first practice of camp on Thursday. Posluszny was a great value at #34 overall and could be this year's Demeco Ryans who made a major impact for the Texans after slipping out of the first round. Posluszny is extremely smart and active and will be a great fit for the Bills http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net The Buffalo Bills signed punter Brian Moorman to a 3 year extension worth $10 keeping him with the team through 2012 according to an AP report. Moorman has done well in Buffalo which isn't an easy place to kick and has good accuracy as well http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net The Bills needed a linebacker and were looking at Patrick Willis in round one. With him not available they got the running back they needed. Smartly moving up in round two trading with the Lions they get a first round linebacker in Paul Posuszny, who will have a long and excellent career in Buffalo. Next up is a corner for them. It cost them a third round pick along with their second rounder http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net The Bills needed a running back for sure and they got their man in Marshawn Lynch, but this may be too high for him. The Packers were looking so they couldn't drop far. A cornerback like Leon Hall would have been a better value, but the Bills need to run the ball to win so Lynch won out http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net The Chargers are still listening to offers for RB Michael Turner and now according to the San Diego Union Tribune a mystery team has offered a first round pick in 2008 for Turner. The team isn't the Titans, Bills or Cowboys who were all interested. The Packers though always mentioned have shown no real visible interest, despite the obvious need. The report states this team would take him have him play this year for the $2.35 million tender he signed and franchise him next year if they haven't worked out a long term deal. His agent is asking for $17 million guaranteed in a 5 year deal. Oh his agent's name you ask? Bus Cook, yes the same agent for Brett Favre. Question What if the Packers got Turner for a first round pick next year, got Randy Moss for a 4th rounder this year or even a 3rd, still had their first and second round picks this year? Wow would a quiet off season take a major step forward http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net Former Cowboys QB Drew Bledsoe has decided to retire after 14 years in the NFL. The former number one overall pick in 1993 finishes 5th of the all time list for attempts and completions and 7th for passing yards http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net Chargers RB Michael Turner completed his visit with the Titans and is now in Buffalo visiting with the Bills. Turner is near a lock to be traded sometime between now and in the first round of the draft on April 28th. The Bills and Titans seem to be the realistic choices while the speculation always get more focus on the Packers who have done nothing to warrant it other than make an effort for any running back which is sorely needed http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net The Arizona Cardinals added some versatility to their offensive line signing former Bills lineman Mike Gandy to a 3 year contract. Gandy can play guard or tackle and started at both spots on the left side last year in Buffalo. The move will help give them some flexibility on the line after losing Leonard Davis in free agency to the Cowboys http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net The Buffalo Bills and Philadelphia Eagles have completed a big trade. The Bills send LB Takeo Spikes and QB Kelly Holcomb to the Eagles in return for DT Darwin Walker and a 2008 conditional draft pick in the later rounds. This gives the Eagles the playmaking linebacker they needed and will change their draft plans in the early rounds. The Bills shore up the defensive front at the cost of another linebacker, who wasn't expected back. That increases their need to get a linebacker early http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net The Buffalo Bills have resigned cornerback Kiwaukee Thomas to multi-year contract http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net The Buffalo Bills have resigned RB Anthony Thomas who may have a more prominent role his year after the Bills traded Willis McGahee. The former first round pick of the Bears will be getting some competition in the draft if a free agent isn't added but will likely see more action this year http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net Running backs in the top this year's draft are watching the movement of all the back closely. The New York Giants were in need of a back according to ESPN have traded WR Tim Carter to the Cleveland Browns for RB Reuben Droughns. The Giants wanted a back to paid with Brandon Jacobs after Tiki Barber's retirement now have that spot secured with Droughns. The Browns signed Jamal Lewis to only a one year back which leads to speculation they will still draft Adrian Peterson at number three, but the list of teams that need a back in the first round is dwindling. One team that is left is the Green Bay Packers who have pretty much sat on their hands and watched all the backs sign. Buffalo and Detroit are also still in the market. Free agents still on the market include Chris Brown who is expected to sign soon, T.J. Duckett and possibly Corey Dillion http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net The Buffalo Bills had former Panther safety Kevin McCadam in for a visit today. He is a solid special teams contributor but hasn't done much on defense in his 5 year career http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net The Buffalo Bills have traded RB Willis McGahee to the Baltimore Ravens pending a physical later in the week for three draft picks. ESPN is reporting it is the Ravens 3rd and 7th round picks this year and their 3rd round pick in 2008. The Bills come out better than expected getting a pair of third round picks rather than the expectation of one and a late round pick. Look for the Bills to strike quickly signing a replacement. There has been some interest in Corey Dillion but watch for Titans RB Chris Brown who was just in for a visit with the Bills and was next headed to Detroit, who continues to be interested in running backs, to sign with the Bills. The Lions are maybe looking to stockpile backs like Jon Gruden does quarterbacks in Tampa http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net The Baltimore Ravens will not wait long to replace Jamal Lewis and are working to complete a deal with the Buffalo Bills for Willis McGahee. They are offering a third round pick,and may add a later round pick to close the deal. If that happens look for the Bills to quickly sign Chris Brown http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net Jamal Lewis and the Ravens are not looking at each other anymore. Each is going their own way according to the Baltimore Sun. Lewis still has a one year deal on the table but will visit the Cleveland Browns later in the week, and the Ravens are looking into trading for Willis McGahee of the Buffalo Bills, who in expectation of trading him visited with Dominic Rhodes and Chris Brown yesterday. So much movement as teams run in a circle to pick up other teams players who end up with theirs. Dominic Rhodes has got to be kicking himself, if not for his slip up just before free agency he would have been signed by now and for a little more money than he will get after the fact http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net The Buffalo Bills have released veteran guard Tutan Reyes. The Bills have been loading up on lineman in free agency and Reyes being cut was a result of that. In his one year with the team he started 6 games at left guard but was benched as the team tried to improve its fortunes mid season http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net Updating the contract for Kris Dielman, it is a $39 million deal over 6 years with $17 million guaranteed according to ESPN. The yearly average is a bit less than Eric Steinbach and Derrick Dockery got the guaranteed amount is the same as Steinbach, Dockery was the top there with $18.5 million http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net The Washington Redskins took their time this year, but now former Bills MLB London Fletcher has signed a 5 year $25 million contract. He fills a big need in the center of the defense and even at 31 years old is still playing at a high level http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net Adam Schefter of the NFL Networks is reporting the 49ers have signed former Bills CB Nate Clements to a 8 year $80 million blockbuster deal with $22 million guaranteed. Think they will call John York cheap now? Overpaid just a little bit here to say the least http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net According to ESPN the deal signed by Derrick Dockery is for $49 million over 7 years with $16 million guaranteed http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net The Buffalo Bills have signed former Redskins guard Derrick Dockery after signing Jason Whittle and former Raiders ORT Langston Walker earlier in the day. Dockery signing is a big one for the Bills and hurts the Redskins who will push that much harder now for Leonard Davis. The Cowboys are in the thick of it as well http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net Nate Clements is in San Francisco right now along with Eagles safety Michael Lewis according to Matt Maiocco of the Santa Rosa Press Democrat. This adds to the rumors of his deal and while all parties say nothing is done, don't expect it to take long before the announcement is made official http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net The Buffalo Bills are reshaping their linebackers this off season. London Fletcher Baker is on his way out in free agency and now Takeo Spikes is on the trade block and will be released soon if no offer is accepted http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net Raiders behemoth offensive lineman Langston Walker will visit Buffalo on Friday as the team looks to add some beef to the line. Walker has been a disappointment so far but has the size to be a dominant run blocker http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net The Buffalo Bills have released OL Chris Villarrial and safety Matt Bowen http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net Offensive lineman is the first player to sign in free agency leaving the Vikings for a one year deal with the Buffalo Bills according to ESPN. It is a $720,000 contract with a $40,000 signing bonus. Not quite the big splash you expect but it is a start to what will be a busy weekend for sure. Whittle can play anywhere on the line making him an excellent backup swing player and is more than capable of starting when needed. He has started 42 of the 125 games he has played in http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net The Buffalo Bills have resigned CB Jabari Greer to a multi-year deal just before he would have gone on the market as a restricted free agent http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net Tomorrow morning isn't Christmas but may seem like it in some NFL cities as free agency begins . There will be some quick signing and the sticker price will shock and awe http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net Every year before the start of free agency there are rumors to deal being done already. This year two rumors have been making the rounds. One has the 49ers already having a deal with Ravens LB Adalius Thomas and the other the Redskins with Bills LB London Fletcher Baker. Both seem logical, after who doubt the Redskins won't move quickly and Fletcher would fill a big need as would Thomas in San Francisco who has the cap room and history with 49ers head coach Mike Noaln http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net The Buffalo Bills have resigned restricted free agent RB Shaud Williams to a 2 year contract http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net The Bills have resigned DE Chris Kelsay just before he becomes a free agent. Kelsay was a top priority of theirs and would have been popular in free agency. Defensive ends are very thin in free agency this year as the franchise tag claimed many. This move also put a big smile on Patrick Kerney's face as his value just went up in free agency as one less name is available. It will put a smile on many others faces too as according to ESPN the 4 year deal is worth $23 million and $14.5 million is guaranteed! Players value is quickly being reset in this new age of a higher salary cap http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net Look for Bills LB London Fletcher to be a quick sign in free agency. The Redskins are rumored to have a big interest and they have both the need and history of striking fast. They will not be as active as in years past, but this could be a quick one. The Detroit Lions are also interested as will be a number of other teams http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net Bills RB Willis McGahee's name is being heard at the combine in trade rumors. He would like out of Buffalo and it appears the Giants may be interested as they look for a replacement for Tiki Barber. The combine is a place where trades and future free agents are discussed almost as much as the draftees. Rumors always swirl but the Bills are clearly looking and listening as it concerns McGahee http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net Bengals guard Eric Steinbach figures to be popular and well paid come next month. There are many reports as to teams that are interested, none include Cincinnati who is moving on. The Browns are an obvious team with their troubles on the line and the fact they have plenty of cap room. Peter King had reported during the season of the 49ers interest, though we question that. The Cardinals, Bills, Bears, Cowboys, Lions and Bucs all figure to show interest, among others who will take a look http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net There are 6 new inductees to Hall of Fame: Cowboys WR Michael Irvin, Bills RB Thurman Thomas, OL Bruce Matthews of the Oilers/Titans, St. Louis Cardinals CB Roger Wehrli, and two from the veterans' committee: Lions TE Charlie Sanders and Browns OG Gene Hickerson. A nice thing to notice is all of the player each played for only one franchise in their careers. Bruce Matthews played in two cities but the same franchise http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net Bills safety Coy Wire signed a multi-year deal to stay in Buffalo. He was scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent next month, but wanted to to stay http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29 PFInsider.net The Buffalo Bills have added Sean Kugler, a native of the Buffalo area, as an assistant offensive line coach http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=29
