‘He was signed last year during the off season and was expected to be a main player in the offensive line – but he never lived up to expectations.’

‘He was inactive for the final 10 games of the season as rookie Aaron Merz and young veteran Duke Preston were the interior linemen who were dressed on Sundays.’

‘Buffalo has a vacancy at running back with veteran Anthony Thomas an unrestricted free agent. Rhodes did express a desire to be a starting running back at the conclusion of the Super Bowl.’

‘Reyes originally signed a two-year deal with the Bills before last season when he was an unrestricted free agent, and was due to make $1 million in 2007.’

‘The Buffalo Bills are entertaining free-agent running back Dominic Rhodes this afternoon at One Bills’ Drive. They are scheduled to visit with Tennessee free agent Chris Brown on Wednesday.’

‘Wynn Silberman, one of Chris Brown’s agents, said the free agent running back is scheduled to visit the Buffalo Bills Wednesday.’

‘"All great guys, all great players," said Bills center Melvin Fowler of his three new linemates. "Every one of the additions our team made on the offensive line is only going to make our team better. I’m looking forward to playing with every one of those guys."’

‘The NFL Network is reporting that unrestricted free agent running back Dominic Rhodes will be visiting Buffalo to talk with Bills brass.’

‘If the Buffalo Bills truly are looking to unload running back Willis McGahee, their list of potential trade partners is shrinking rapidly.’

‘No one knows how these moves will pan out, but at least the Bills addressed a pressing need, and they did it in a big way which is something they have not done in recent years.’

‘One of the most important things a quarterback must possess is confidence in the offensive linemen on his blindside. Bills passer J.P Losman was aided plenty last year by Peters, but he was often left high and dry by guard Mike Gandy, who played next to Peters. While splitting time at tackle and guard, Gandy allowed a whopping 12½ sacks.’

‘But forget for a moment where he chooses to work out, the “Penthouse” comments and the blase attitude he demonstrates in just about every interview. Forget the serial paternity suits. McGahee has offered plenty of on-field evidence that he’s not worth the trouble, or money, required to keep him around.’
