Lions still in hunt for Cutler
Looks like the Lions are still very much in the race for Jay Cutler’s services should the quarterback’s reported demand to be traded happen. That according to Booth Newspapers (MLive.com). NFL.com had an initial report that the Lions and Bucs were two teams initially talking with the Broncos a couple of weeks ago. Apparently the [...]
Couple of big pro days Monday
Florida State and LSU are holding their pro days Monday, which will have some top flight prospects under the watch of several NFL scouts and coaches. With a lot of LSU’s top prospects having disappointing senior seasons, many of them may work out again despite working out at the combine. As for Florida State’s Everette [...]
Hardy comments on number switch with Owens
Bills wide receiver James Hardy appeared on Sirius NFL Radio this weekend and was asked about turning over number 81 to his new teammate and fellow wideout Terrell Owens. “(Terrell Owens) is over a 10-year veteran and usually the organization, really they can just take the number from you and give it to him if [...]
Colts to play Bills in Toronto?
Nothing is official, but a league source is telling NFL.com’s Vic Carucci that the Colts are the frontrunning choice to play the Bills in Toronto in 2009. Buffalo faces the AFC South this fall for its intradivisional schedule and the league apparently is leaning toward adding Peyton Manning as a headline attraction along with Buffalo’s Terrell [...]
Another impressive Owens stat
In addition to the impressive Owens numbers on display on the home page in his first season with a new team and the improvement offensively enjoyed by those teams, there’s another number that might stand out even more. Some critics believe that Owens is slowing down and has lost a step of late. The truth is no [...]
Top 10 OL salaries (in reference to Peters)
Bills fans were wondering where the reported demands of wanting to be the highest paid offensive tackle in football would put him in terms of numbers. Adding in the Jordan Gross deal and Jake Long’s gigantic contract here are the top 10 average salaries for offensive linemen. 1. Jake Long $11.5M 2. Jordan Gross $10M 3. Eric [...]
Peters trying to guard against uncapped year
If the Buffalo News report on Jason Peters’ contract demands are accurate, there’s a logical explanation as to why he and his agent are taking that approach. Peters and his agent realize that the 2010 season could be an uncapped year if there is no new CBA in place after the NFL owners opted out [...]
Draft prospect visits underway
Thursday was the first day that NFL teams could host college draft prospects for visits. That window of time where players can visit runs up until April 17th, eight days before the draft. The maximum number of player visits allowed is 30. The main reason these visits are permitted is to give NFL teams an [...]
RB Henry reportedly up to 11 kids
According to ESPN’s Outside the Lines, Travis Henry is now up to 11 children by 10 different women, as a woman recently gave birth to twin girls. The weekend ESPN program apparently has an investigative report on Henry’s current situation as he’s facing federal drug trafficking charges. It’s been unfortunate seeing how his NFL career [...]

Hardy sees Owens as positive for him
Appearing on his hometown television station in Fort Wayne, IN this past weekend, James Hardy is clearly looking forward to learning more about the NFL game in his second season at the elbow of new teammate Terrell Owens. “I welcome him with open arms because he’s going to help me,” Hardy told WANE-TV. “I’m ready [...]
No compensatory picks forecast for Bills
The NFL will award compensatory draft picks to their clubs at the conclusion of the league’s annual meeting (March 22-25). The resident compensatory pick guru at KFFL.com, who goes only by the name of Adam (and is very accurate) has once again presented his NFL draft compensatory pick predictions, and not surprisingly he has none going [...]
DE Ayers does full workout at Tennessee pro day
After running an impressive 4.77 at the NFL combine it was assumed Robert Ayers wouldn’t do a full workout at Tennessee’s pro day Wednesday, but he did everything again. That according to NFLDraftScout.com. That reportedly went over well with NFL scouts, knowing Ayers didn’t have much more to prove. Don’t have times and figures yet [...]
Bills in bit of holding pattern at OLB
With a host of FA LBs rolling through One Bills Drive the past few weeks Dick Jauron provided an update on just what they’re trying to add and whether they’ll continue to seek out solutions to bolster the position. “We’ll keep looking,” Jauron said. ”Again, we like that group. Coming back off the injured are John [...]
Jauron on why the interest in FA RBs
Thus far this offseason Buffalo has hosted RBs Fred Taylor, Kevin Jones and DeShaun Foster. So why the interest with the likes of Marshawn Lynch and Fred Jackson on the roster? Bills head coach Dick Jauron stated that they’re looking for a number three back. “We’re looking for a third guy and he may be [...]
Owens offseason attendance
Bills head coach Dick Jauron was asked if he expected Terrell Owens to be in attendance for all the offseason workouts (OTAs, minicamps). With those camps not being mandatory, except for the final minicamp in mid-June, Jauron understandably, did not want to make declarations on Owens plans. “ Terrell in the past has not been involved [...]
Jauron on who is the #1 WR in Buffalo
Bills head coach Dick Jauron who spoke to the media at One Bills Drive Wednesday afternoon was asked if Lee Evans is still the team’s number one wideout now that Terrell Owens in on the roster. Here was his response. “I don’t know that we have to think that way,” said Jauron. ”Well over 50 percent [...]
Crowell visiting Lions
Bills FA LB Angelo Crowell is visiting the Detroit Lions Wednesday, a day after meeting with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. According to NFL.com no team has offered Crowell a contract, indicating that interest is more exploratory in nature. That’s not surprising since Crowell is coming off of knee surgery.
Best part about T.O. radio interview
Knowing Terrell Owens is a pretty self-motivated player to begin with, I think the best part about T.O.’s interview on the FAN 590 in Toronto this afternoon was the following comment when asked if he’s still stinging from his release from the Cowboys. “(I was) just shocked about being released by Dallas,” said Owens. ”Blindsided. I’m [...]
