Draft Prospects continue with running backs
RB William Green (Boston College) is expected to be one of the first running backs drafted in this year's draft on April 20-21.
Kicker open-minded about visit to Buffalo
‘Dawson knows an offer, if made, probably won’t come near the surprising four-year, $4.7 million deal Kris Brown received to jump from Pittsburgh to Houston. "It definitely helped define the market,” Dawson said. "So as a fellow member of the market, that did make me feel quite good. But I’m here to be fair."’
Browns kicker Dawson visits Bills but has no deal
‘Dawson has until April 15 to receive an offer sheet. Otherwise he would remain with the Browns.’
New duds on the way for Bills
‘The Buffalo Bills confirmed Tuesday they will be sporting new uniforms this season and also interviewed five players they think might look good in them.’

Bills awarded four compensatory picks
@ Last year, the Bills were cap-strapped throughout the offseason. They ended up getting a league-high four draft choices — a third-rounder and three seventh-round choices.

The Bills also lost cornerback Donovan Green and offensive lineman Marcus Spriggs to Miami
