'Here's a quick look at who the Bills have on the roster behind the starters, in no particular order. Whaley certainly could draft someone, but this year's crop isn't as talented as the last two. It might be difficult to find someone who can step in and play immediately, especially with the needs on defense.'

'"I was not for that renovation," an unnamed league official told The Buffalo News this week. "In other words, we thought we should have gone right to the question of what should be the big renovation or a new facility. Because if you're going to build one, you're going to try to break ground within five or 10 years from now. If you're going to do that, then you sort of didn't need to spend that $130 million. You should have saved that for the new facility."'

'Hankerson tweeted out #BillsMafia on Thursday night, and Rapoport reported the news of his new deal shortly after that.

'"They're multibillionaires, folks. They don't care about the people of this community. They don't care about the Buffalo Bills. All you have to do is ask the people in St. Louis. Do they care about the St. Louis Rams? No. St. Louis bent over backwards to try to keep their team and then they lost them. They're now going back to Los Angeles."'

What this is is a question of the other owners who truthfully are trying to reap as much dollars as they can. They're multibillionaires, folks. They don't care about the people of this community. They don't care about the Buffalo Bills. All you have to do is ask the people in St. Louis. Do they care about the St. Louis Rams? No. St. Louis bent over backwards to try to keep their team and then they lost them. They're now going back to Los Angeles."'
