Pro day hotspots
The top destinations for NFL scouts and coaches as far as the college pro day circuit goes Wednesday will be at Alabama (C Antoine Caldwell, OT Andre Smith among others), Maryland (WR Darius Heyward-Bey, WNY native Dan Gronkowski), Oklahoma St. (Brandon Pettigrew) and Tennessee (Robert Ayers among others). A better 40-time for Ayers would help [...]
Bruschi admits T.O. will change Pats defensive approach
Patriots LB Tedy Bruschi during an NFL Live Chat online was asked about the Bills’ acquisition of Terrell Owens. Bruschi admitted it will change New England’s defensive approach and that of every other NFL defense that faces Buffalo. Tedy Bruschi, New England Patriots: “It affects the way defenses will be played against the Bills’ offense [...]
San Fran writer needs to be straightened out
Ladies and gentlemen of Bills Nation, I have a humble request if you hold your native hometown and its football franchise sacred. Many times Buffalo, and the Bills for that matter, have been denigrated by an assortment of sports writers over the years. It’s often an easy and convenient way for lazy journalists to fill [...]
FA LB Winborn visits Titans
One of Buffalo’s first free agent visitors in late February is still making the rounds. FA LB Jamie Winborn visited with the Titans on Tuesday and is still apparently considering his options. That according to the Tennesseean. Buffalo still wants to address their strong side linebacker position.
Rosenhaus calls Cowboys release of T.O. a big mistake
The agent for Terrell Owens, Drew Rosenhaus, in a radio interview with WQAM in Miami wasn’t pulling any punches when it came to the Cowboys decision to release his client last week. Here’s his most entertaining comment courtesy of the Dallas Morning News. “I believe that the organization is going to regret this decision,” Rosenhaus [...]
Owens ‘fall guy’ comment the truth
Looks as if Terrell Owens comment to Buffalobills.com that he was the “fall guy” for Dallas’ 9-7 season last year had far more truth to it than most critics had thought. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones confirmed in a radio interview Tuesday that Owens was not released because T.O. failed the chemistry test in the locker room. Jones [...]
DE Michael Johnson runs in 4.6s
The draft has kind of taken a backseat in the wake of all the T.O. hoopla, but Georgia Tech DE Michael Johnson, who is a physical freak (6’7″ 266) ran a 4.61 and a 4.66 at his pro day. That according to NFL.com’s Gil Brandt. He also did 23 reps on the bench, which is [...]
Crowell to visit with Bucs today
Bills FA LB Angelo Crowell is scheduled to visit with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Tuesday. That according to the Tampa Tribune. Buffalo still has an opening at the strong side linebacker position, the one Crowell manned for the better part of four years, but the chances of his return at this point are doubtful. It [...]
LB Peterson off the market
Despite paying a free agent visit to the Bills late last week, LB Mike Peterson chose to sign with Atlanta. Peterson likely felt a level of comfort going to play for his former defensive coordinator in Jacksonville, in Falcons head coach Mike Smith. Interesting that he’ll likely line up at strong side linebacker for the [...]
Edwards not calling other NFL QBs to find out about Owens
While some in the media believe Trent Edwards will have an interesting first year with Terrell Owens on the roster, Edwards doesn’t appear all that concerned. He stated that he has no intentions to speak to any NFL quarterbacks that played with Terrell Owens in the past to see what he should expect from the [...]
Trent texted Bills COO/GM Brandon when T.O. was released
By no means was Bills QB Trent Edwards playing GM when he did this and he actually downplays it in our exclusive interview with him on Buffalobills.com, but when he saw on TV out in California that Terrell Owens had been released by the Cowboys, Trent texted Bills COO/GM Russ Brandon the following to see if [...]
Bills QB Edwards weighs in on T.O. acquisition
Bills fans wanted to know what Trent Edwards thought of the Terrell Owens acquisition over the weekend. We’ve got answers for you on Buffalobills.com in this exclusive 1-on-1 interview with the Bills starting QB. Among his better answers where wanting a receiver to tell him he’s open if he’s not getting the ball and wanting [...]
Galloway visiting Steelers
With the Bills addressing their receiver position with the weekend signing of Terrell Owens, veteran free agent Joey Galloway is exploring other opportunities. He’s paying the Steelers a visit. That according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. The Steelers recently lost Nate Washington to Tennessee as a free agent. Galloway visited with Buffalo last week.
Jets to pursue Holt?
In the wake of Buffalo’s signing of Terrell Owens, the Jets (and Dolphins for that matter) are under greater pressure to improve their receiving corps with a proven veteran wideout. NY Daily News reporter Rich Cimini believes Torry Holt should be New York’s target. I think he’d be a good add, but convincing him to [...]
There will be competition for So. Carolina TE Cook
South Carolina TE Jared Cook is a draft prospect that I think would be a good fit for the Bills in terms of stretching the field and pushing the seam from that position. But after an impressive combine workout, it looks like two teams picking ahead of the Bills in round two have their eye [...]
Jets being criticized for not making play for T.O.
Well it’s good to see the shoe on the other foot. The Jets are getting ripped in New York for not pursuing Terrell Owens the way the Bills did over the weekend. NY Times columnist William C. Rhoden opines that Jets’ fans should be seething for not being as bold as Bills owner Ralph Wilson [...]
Stroud on T.O. acquisition
For those that missed it over the weekend, Bills DT Marcus Stroud appeared on NFL Radio over the weekend with hosts Andrew Bogusch and Jim Miller, and commented on the team’s acquisition of Terrell Owens, how it plays out with Trent Edwards on offense, head coach Dick Jauron and how much it impacts their standing [...]
Don’t think the Bills are done
There’s no question that the signing of Terrell Owens is huge, but having just talked to Bills COO/GM Russ Brandon in a one-on-one interview, that will be airing on Buffalobills.com later tonight, I kind of get the feeling that Buffalo is not done in free agency. He didn’t say anything specific about it, but I [...]
