[...]

Bills have strong college FA group
Buffalo has a good history of finding quality talent among their undrafted rookie free agent signings.

Bills ‘D’ likely to be a mix

Full breakdown of re-vote
Here’s the full breakdown of the re-vote for NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year.

Maybin sounds off on re-vote
Bills LB Aaron Maybin offered his two cents on the results of the re-vote for NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year. Naturally feeling that Jairus Byrd rightfully deserved the award in the wake of Brian Cushing’s positive test for a banned substance and subsequent admission, Maybin was understandably miffed by the results, which for a [...]
Byrd second again in re-vote
The unprecedented re-vote for AP NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year wound up being a fruitless pursuit.

[...]
