‘"Anytime you look at your football team, you’re always trying to add quality big people," Donahoe said during the Bills’ predraft luncheon. "It’s a game of big people. If we can add some big people on either side of the ball, we want to try to do that.’

‘It means that for the first time under Donahoe, the Bills can honestly use the first round to select the best player available regardless of need, and to address depth concerns later on.’

‘The deal, which includes a signing bonus, was confirmed Thursday by Henry’s agent, Greg Johnson. The restructured contract also includes several incentives, and will pay Henry a base salary of $1.25 million in the final year.’

Justin Bannan – "I'm about as excited as it gets to see all the players that we have. Just today as we were working out you can see the chemistry building. It seems we're a lot further along than we were last year. At least that's the way it feels defensively. It's exciting. I think we are going to have one heck of a ball club next year, I can't wait to be a part of it. We can win! That's what we're here to do."

‘Johnson declined to give all the financial details, but it is believed Henry’s new contract includes a signing bonus. It is believed he will make over $1 million in base salary in each of the next two seasons and more than $2 million in 2005. Henry also could earn between $700,000 and $1 million in incentives during the second year of the deal, which also includes a signing bonus.’

Rogers, who played last season for Buffalo, was unavailable for comment Tuesday through the Dolphins’ media relations department Agent Everette Scott didn’t return a call seeking comment. Coming on the heels of off-field problems with RBs Lawrence Phillips and Cecil Collins under ex-coach Jimmy Johnson, Dolphins President Eddie Jones and coach Dave Wannstedt said in April 2000 that the team would shy from drafting players with character issues. But Sr VP Rick Spielman said the team felt comfortable signing Rogers after researching his legal situation and believes he will eventually be exonerated.

‘Travis Henry signed a one-year contract extension that would keep him in Buffalo through 2005. Henry will make $1.3 million in salary during that final year.’
