'“I’m able to play safety,” Graham said last week. “I’m able to play whatever they want. I’m pretty sure we’re going to be able to be creative to get guys on the field. If they ask me to do it, I’ll do it."'

'What the $679,000 bought from the Buffalo Bills is unclear.'

'Meanwhile, Lewis, a wide receiver who played at Central Arkansas, faces a bit of an uphill climb to make the roster. The 6-foot-4 wide receiver brings a size element that the Bills lack at wide receiver, but he will have to beat out 2013 third-round pick Marquise Goodwin just to be the No. 6 wide receiver on the depth chart. Even then, there's no guarantee the team will keep that many receiver.'

'ESPN announced the news Tuesday morning, and Eric Fisher of Sports Business Journal reported that the working title for the documentary is "The Four Falls of Buffalo." No date for the feature has been announced at this point.'

'"They'll make a push, and I'm sure they'll have a really good team again next year, and that's good, because we have a lot of confidence in our team as well," Wood said. "I wouldn't want there to be a whole lot of excuses if we do pull that thing out."'

'“I’m just here to get people to understand the never-give-up attitude,” said Kelly, who recovered from a career-threatening arm injury his senior year at Miami to become one of the best quarterbacks of all time. “The bottom line for me is to make sure that people know that when you surround yourself with good people that good things will happen,” Kelly said.'

'Lewis was a three-time All-Southland conference selection at Central Arkansas. The 6-foot-4, 212-pound wide receiver finished his college career with 197 receptions for 2,618 yards and 24 touchdowns.'

'O'Leary, the grandson of legendary golfer Jack Nicklaus, started 40 of 54 career games at Florida State, finishing as the school's all-time leader among tight ends in receptions (114), yards (1,591) and touchdowns (18). He won the John Mackey Award as the nation's top tight end as a senior.'

'No details of the contract were released.'

'"I thought it was pretty crazy. I didn’t know how harsh they’d come down on him. Anyone in the AFC, you know we never wish injury upon anybody to eliminate a guy. We never wish a suspension but the Patriots are less daunting without Tom Brady, that’s for sure."'

'According to SportsBusiness Journal's Eric Fisher, the working title of the Bills documentary is currently "The Four Falls of Buffalo," but I've been told that title is not yet official.'

'“I’m happy to just compete with all the guys that they’ve got there right now,” he said. “They’ve got Charles Clay from Miami. Charles is a guy who I’ve always watched growing up (in Florida) and just to get in there and compete and try to play a little bit as a rookie.”'

'“I’m just thankful I’ve got this opportunity to be in Buffalo and make a name for myself,” Lewis said.'
