‘Buffalo selected the Nebraska product in the second round of the 2003 draft. Kelsay has started 90 of his 113 career games with the Bills, registering 22 sacks, 332 tackles and three interceptions.’

‘Kelsay, who was entering the final year of the original contract, is a six-year starter at defensive end. However, he moved to outside linebacker as Buffalo made the switch to a 3-4 defensive system this offseason. Through three games, he ranks second on the team with 19 tackles.’

‘”We signed an extension (Tuesday) and got everything finalized, a four-year extension,” said Kelsay. “I’m very pleased. I think both sides are very happy with the situation and it gives me an opportunity to finish my career a Buffalo Bill.”‘

‘”Accomplishment, dedication, hard work,” Edgerson said. “I’ve always said you work hard, but I don’t think necessarily that I worked the hardest I could and played the way they play today because football was different in those times, and you didn’t have the training aspect to give you that impetus to be able to go out and really perform at your best. But we did the best we could and I did the best I could.”‘

‘The three players were among a dozen Bills who talked about the importance of health and fitness to third-through sixth-graders Tuesday during the annual Play 60 Challenge, held in a nearly full Kleinhans Music Hall.’

‘"[It’s hard] watching the game at home in your living room while your buddies are out there playing, fighting hard, doing everything they can to win," Posluszny said. "There’s nothing worse than preparing all year and then having to miss time."’

‘Since Fitzpatrick would be viewed as backup material on a team with Super Bowl aspirations, it was incumbent upon Gailey to discern if he had better. And because Edwards had shown a burst of brilliance early in his career, the first order of business had to be determining whether what was once there could be rekindled under new coaching direction.’

‘Another factor favoring Edwards is Jacksonville’s lack of depth behind Garrard. Backup quarterback Luke McCown tore his ACL against the Chargers and is out for the season. Garrard’s backup Sunday was 38-year-old Todd Bouman, whom Jacksonville signed Sept. 21.’
