'Not only does Watkins have the size, speed, route running, hands, vision, and jumping ability down pat, now he's quite well-versed in the arena of getting double-teamed by the defense and still churning out production. Everything is there, it just needs to be put together.'

'“Getting the opportunity with the Bills last season to finish on a strong note, that was big for me and I took that, carried that into the off-season and I’m looking to carry it into this season as well. Just excited for this new season and excited to get back into football in a couple of weeks,” Salas told KHON2 Sports Director Rob DeMello.'

'Williams is eligible to participate in all offseason and preseason practices and games, so he will be able to participate fully at Bills training camp.'

'“Playing with somebody you’re comfortable with and we played well together,” said Glenn. “Having another year to keep playing with him, we’re ready to do great things.”'

'“It’s great to have new guys in there ready to learn,” Brown said. “We’ve got great young guys and older guys in there working hard. It’s competition all the way across the board. It’s fun having those guys in and we’ll definitely improve with those guys.”'

'Williams told police that he was giving a female passenger in his car a ride home, and that he had had one beer at 7 p.m. Wednesday.'

'If Taylor approaches Newton's level, it's a good bet the Bills will be successful in getting back into the postseason. Taylor will also be in line for a huge contract. The Bills have the option of using the franchise tag on Taylor after 2016 if they can't work out a long-term deal.'

'Many fans in Buffalo would take a win over New England any way they can get one, a concept that never made sense to me. True competitors in sports want to play teams at their best and prove they can beat the best. A victory over the Patriots without Brady would come with an asterisk.'

'"Certainly you think about his time in Philadelphia when Chip Kelly arrived and Shady made a lot of fantasy owners awfully happy," host Matt Smith said. "We got excited when he went to Rex Ryan knowing how much he likes to run the ball and feature a back. Injuries kind of caused that to get sideways a little bit, but we feel (he’s) healthy and back and we know what Rex likes to do, and we all feel pretty good about Shady now."'

'An offseason to get healthy has the Ravens feeling like they can return to their usual status as playoff contenders in the AFC.'

'Seantrel Henderson started all 16 games at right tackle during his rookie season in 2014, but his 2015 season was cut short by his battle with Crohn's disease. He is still in the process of getting back up to his playing weight and then he has to wrestle the starting job away from Jordan Mills. If Henderson gets healthy, will we see a dramatically improved player? That could be the biggest question the Bills have heading into training camp.'

'The report states that Williams told a police officer he had one beer prior to being pulled over. Upon questioning by the officer if that one beer was larger than a normal beer, like the 40oz variety, Williams admitted it was.'

'"If we win, all right, we win," Dareus said. "But I don't feel like I really won until I beat the guy. I love playing against Brady. I get up for him. I play against him every year, and he knows I'm coming. So for him not to be up there tears me up a little bit. But the second time I see him, I'm going to be excited to play against him."'

'The officer wrote that Williams declined to submit to a breathalyzer based on previous advice from his agent.'

'Williams was a fifth-round pick this year for the Bills after sitting out his senior season at Arkansas with a torn ligament in his foot. At Arkansas, Williams had 2,321 yards rushing and 16 touchdowns and added 345 yards receiving and six touchdowns in 36 career games.'
