Two Bills Drive

‘Jenkins reportedly received a $200,000 signing bonus, with a base salary of $525,000 this season and $750,000 next year.’

‘The 6-foot-4, 280-pound Grant has the bulk to stop the run and the speed to get the passer, which is why he’s a serious candidate to be taken by the Bills in the first round.’

‘Buffalo Bills owner Ralph Wilson has sent a package of Bills hats, shirts and other items to a U.S. military unit serving in Afghanistan.’

‘With the Bills one of a handful of teams without a prime-time game, Channel 4 stands to carry between eight and 14 games courtesy of CBS next season.’

‘The Patriots and Bills were busy this week trying to strike a deal that would send Drew Bledsoe slightly northwest, to AFC East rival Buffalo, Patriot sources said yesterday.’

Buffalo is a great place to play football. There’s a good tradition for guys like me at the Defensive End, guys like Bruce Smith. They are a young team and on the rise. The coaching staff and the people of Buffalo are great, since I’ve been here. They show a lot of interest in football.

I’ve been looking at Buffalo for a while. I actually saw a magazine and the cover had my photo and it said ‘Will He Be a Bill?’ I’ve heard that for a while that I might be coming here. I have been looking at the team more closely.

The Bills today announced that the team’s season ticket prices will remain the same for the third consecutive year.

‘The $3 price hike seems reasonable assuming there is a similar increase in the quality of the product on the field.’

The Jets yesterday made an offer to Oakland Raiders unrestricted free agent defensive tackle Grady Jackson and he appears to be leaning towards accepting it after extending his visit another day.

‘Jenkins, who completed last season with Green Bay, signed what is believed to be a two-year deal worth about $1.5 million. He now tops a Bills’ depth chart featuring only two experienced safeties — Travares Tillman and Raion Hill, both entering their third season.’

As a safety the first technique you want to acquire is the "wisdom vision technique". The purpose of this technique is to get an overview of the field and the formation before the snap of the ball.

The Bills today announced that the team has agreed to terms with safety BILLY JENKINS. In accordance with club policy, terms were not disclosed.

‘Mobility in pass coverage is not Jenkins’ strong suit, but the 5-foot-10, 205-pounder is the kind of hard-hitting, line-of-scrimmage safety the Bills covet.’

‘Even if the Bills decide to trade down, they will be able to land a good one. But I don’t think they should go past the top 10 or 12 because that’s where the truly special players usually are.’
