‘Oakland, Buffalo and Dallas — where Jenkins began his career — also pursued the former Nebraska-Omaha star.’

Buffalo GM Tom Donahoe, whose team was shut out of the compensatory process this year, certainly understands the significance of owning additional middle-round selections. The Bills acquired two current starters, OT Jonas Jennings (2001) and SS Coy Wire (2002), with third-round compensatory choices.

“It still comes down to making good choices,” said Donahoe, “but it never hurts to have a few more chances.”

‘Although Williams made some mistakes his rookie season by trusting coaching buddies with a lack of NFL experience, he does have some smarts. He hasn’t objected to the additions of more experienced coaches, and, in fact, may have initiated the moves to bring in people like Gilbride and Steckel.’

The Bills, the National Football League, and Buffalo Public Schools will host Buffalo's first Junior Player Development (JPD) program from May 27th to June 12th. JPD is a 12-session football program that is free for participants between the ages of 12 and 14.

Forget about Carmen Sandiego. Where in the world is … Justin Cross? The former offensive tackle has gone from the field to the friendly skies. He’s become a commercial pilot and has gotten around more than a rumor about J.Lo.

‘"I’m glad they don’t have (wide receiver) Peerless Price anymore because we haven’t tackled him yet," Miami Dolphins coach Dave Wannstedt said during Tuesday’s AFC coaches’ media breakfast at the NFL meetings. "But they have added some good people to the mix. I think they should be picked to win the division this year."’

‘AlSabah studies English literature at Kuwait University. He saw his first football game 10 years ago while watching Super Bowl XXVII broadcast on television. He fell in love with the sport and was drawn to the Bills.’

‘For two years, it’s appeared as if Glenn, who worked out last winter for the Buffalo Bills, would be taking his own competitive game south. The latest proposition cropped up with the Browns. Glenn learned of the Browns’ sudden interest in him when they lost veteran LS Kuehl to the Giants. Since the query for Glenn’s services came after the Feb. 28 deadline for CFL players in the option year of their contract to sign with NFL teams, the Browns would have had to obtain a release of Glenn from his current contract with the Renegades. But in the end, it wasn’t needed.’

‘Receiver Antonio Brown, who spent last season playing in the Canadian Football League, signed with the Buffalo Bills on Tuesday.’

Jack Kemp, whose pro football career helped launch him to a successful career in public service, will serve as Chairman of the Board of Directors of USA FOOTBALL, it was announced today.

Brown (5-10, 170) most recently played for the CFL's Winnipeg Blue Bombers in 2002 and finished the year with 14 catches for 208 yards and two receiving touchdowns.
