1st round picks trickling in
As the Bills work to complete a deal with C.J. Spiller, the good news is that more and more first rounders around him are starting to sign.

Knee braces mandatory for O-line
One small particular that stood out at training camp Thursday was the presence of knee braces on both the legs of every offensive lineman on the roster. Talking to Demetrius Bell following his first practice back from a long knee rehab, Bell said they don’t have a choice. “It’s mandatory,” he said. “We’ve got to [...]

Bills down LBs early
Bills OLB Chris Kelsay left practice early with a shoulder injury and head coach Chan Gailey confirmed the injury will keep him sidelined for a period of time leaving Buffalo shorthanded in the early going. “He banged up his shoulder a little bit and it looks like he’ll be out a little while,” said Gailey. ”I don’t know [...]
Edwards sheds light on 2009
Trent Edwards was named the top guy on the depth chart at QB Thursday, and though Edwards has always maintained an optimistic outlook, he shed some light on some of the tough times that ate away at him last season. “I think probably got overwhelmed or stressed over too many little things that I shouldn’t be [...]
Kelsay exits early
OLB Chris Kelsay has been pulled out of practice early. Kelsay has his jersey off with an ice pack on his shoulder. We hope to have an update after practice.
Two LBs not participating

Fitz next in
Keep in mind its still walk thru at start of practice, but Ryan Fitzpatrick is second QB in after Edwards.
Edwards takes 1st rep in walk thru
Trent Edwards took the first reps with the starting unit in walk thru to start practice.
Full pads
Bills are starting camp practice full bore. Players are trotting out on the field in full pads. Looks like the tone is going to be set early.
Nelson drops hint on starting QB
Bills rookie WR David Nelson is dropping hints as to who the top QB in the pecking order will be when practice gets underway shortly. DNelson83 Yea here’s your hint. His colleges mascot is the same as the mascot of the place holding our training camp. Knowing St. John Fisher’s mascot is the Cardinals, [...]
Players know QB order
The order in which the Bills QB depth chart will lay out has been communicated to the players in meetings this morning. Now it’s a matter of seeing it in action at practice at 3 pm for the rest of us. Bills rookie WR David Nelson confirmed that the players were informed of how things [...]
McClain deal could help C.J. talks
With the Oakland Raiders signing first-round pick Rolando McClain to an undisclosed contract, the figures should help the Bills in making further progress with C.J. Spiller. That’s because McClain was taken 8th overall, right in front of Spiller who was ninth. McClain’s contract will set a good baseline for where Spiller’s deal should come in. [...]

Team stance on Schobel unchanged
Bills DE Aaron Schobel expressed the hope that the organization would give him a little more time to sort things out as his leanings now favor a return to football in 2010. It appears the team stance is unchanged in that regard as GM Buddy Nix again indicated the ball is in Schobel’s court. When [...]
Brohm not anxious about pecking order
Brian Brohm, Trent Edwards and Ryan Fitzpatrick will find out what the all important pecking order will be at the quarterback position in meetings Thursday morning. But Brohm, who was the only one of the three QBs that arrived during the allotted time for media access, is not having any anxiety about what that decision [...]
Bell good to go
The goal was for Bills LT Demetrius Bell to be good to go come training camp. It appears as though that will be the case, but pounding out two-a-days coming off a long knee rehabilitation is not on the docket to start. “He’s really doing good,” said Bills GM Buddy Nix. “We’re going to try [...]
