The Buffalo Bills are finally on the board in the NFL free agency game as they signed veteran offensive lineman Cornell Green Monday to a three-year deal reportedly worth $9 million. Quantcast "I love the Bills," Green said via a conference call with reporters. "There's a lot of tradition. I'm glad to have the opportunity to play here and be a part of the pride, history and tradition." Much of that pride, history and tradition has been severely damaged in the last decade, but Green could be the first piece in new general manager Buddy Nix's restoration project. The Bills have gaping needs on the offensive line and Green will be counted to come in and provide experience, leadership, and ..."

When NFL free agency kicked off at 12:01 a.m. today, I half envisioned new Buffalo Bills general manager Buddy Nix kicking up his feet in his office and sipping coffee. That's not to suggest Nix would be relaxing on the job. The guy's been working it hard, trying to map a course for a team that hasn't seen the playoffs since Thurman Thomas, Andre Reed and Bruce Smith still wore the charging buffalo on their helmets a decade ago. It's just that Nix is feeling no pressure to fix the Bills quickly through the magic bullet called free agency. For one, the existence of an uncapped season for 2010 — it means no limit on what teams can spend on players — has personnel departments around the ..."

The Terrell Owens Era in Buffalo came to an expected end Saturday night. The Bills' roster transformation continued as they announced they will not be offering new contracts to free agents Owens, defensive end Ryan Denney and wide receiver Josh Reed. "We wanted to inform all three players ahead of the start of the free agency period so they could begin making their plans," general manager Buddy Nix said. Owens joined the Bills as a free agent in March of 2009 and the theory was that he would inject life into a stagnant Buffalo offense. He led the team with 55 catches for 829 yards, but scored only five touchdowns as the Bills ranked 30th in passing."

Former Georgia Tech coach Chan Gailey is settling into his new job with the Buffalo Bills, who hired him as head coach on Jan. 19. This week he's at the NFL scouting combine with a decided advantage over every team in the league when it comes to three key particular players he coached at Tech. Defensive end Derrick Morgan, wide receiver Demaryius Thomas and running back Jonathan Dwyer are all potential first-round draft picks and were recruited during Gailey's tenure as Tech's head coach (2002-07). "I can't talk detached about them because I'm attached to them," Gailey said. "I know where they came from, and I know their families. They are great athletes and great human beings. They ..."

According to a report from The Washington Post, there is word about a deal that would send Campbell to Buffalo for safety Donte Whitner and a draft pick. I have been supportive of Campbell staying in Washington for at least the 2010 season due to the fact that he does have the talent to succeed in a Mike Shanahan offense - one that is full of movement passes (boot, swap boot, play action). The 'Skins could be targeting a QB at No. 4, and the NFP's Wes Bunting still links them to Notre Dame's Jimmy Clausen in his latest Mock Draft. But, Campbell could be an attractive option for the Bills - a team that has been linked to every veteran quarterback from Donovan McNabb to Michael Vick, along ..."

I'm not sure what to make of this, so I'll let the pictures do the talking. Free agent wide receiver Terrell Owens rocked a new look on the catwalk Wednesday night during a New York fashion show."

Ultimately, new Bills defensive coordinator George Edwards said, no matter what defensive scheme you play, you have to play it well if you want to have success. So Buffalo can line up in a 4-3, a 3-4, a 4-2-5, or hey, maybe an 11-man line, but unless it gets good players who can do what they're told and make plays, nothing is going to work the way it's designed. "At the end of the day it still boils down to defense and being able to take on a blocker, get off a block, and make a play on the running back or whoever the ball carrier is," Edwards said. "That's what defense is about and that's what we've got to focus on. Schematics and all those things, they're going to come with the strength ..."

The Buffalo Bills probably will try to trade running back Marshawn Lynch. He has the talent to be a heavy-duty NFL running back, but his problems with the law and attitude are heavy baggage. One reason he didn't do much last season was that he never was in top shape after starting the season on the suspended list. San Diego needs a running back. LaDainian Tomlinson is likely to be released and Darren Sproles will be playing on a one-year contract as a franchise player in 2010. The best running back in the 2010 college draft is C.J. Spiller (Clemson), who will be selected before San Diego's No. 28 overall pick. The Chargers might consider Lynch a better bet than Jahvid Best (California), ..."
