Two Bills Drive

‘"They have the weapons, the running game, the offensive line is coming along and definitely with (defensive coordinator) Jerry Gray bringing in the players he wants, they’ll have a good defense," Blake said of the Bills.’

The Bills have been busy entertaining free agents during the past two weeks as 10 different players have visited Buffalo.

Classic Rock – I can’t pick only one song. I like 100’s of them.

I was already leaning favorably to coming here. I like the coach, the organization and the direction that they are trying to go. I wanted to be a part of it.

The Buffalo Bills continue to consider the possibility of a modification to its uniform for the upcoming 2002 season.

‘The team said no change has been decided upon, and it’s not certain any change will be made. The Bills have filed certain paperwork with the NFL office that is required by teams exploring the possibility of any uniform change.’

‘Debating Williams vs. McKinnie easily could fill this space, but what’s the sense? There’s no guarantee the Bills will use the pick on an offensive tackle, not after Oregon quarterback Joey Harrington lit it up in the Fiesta Bowl and worked out to rave reviews at the combine.’

‘Should Brown receive a contract offer from the Bills or Texans, the Steelers have seven days to match. If they decline, the team signing Brown owes them a seventh-round draft choice as compensation. That’s a small price for a 25-year-old, proven kicker with a long future ahead of him.’

The Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement Ceremony for Jim Kelly among others, traditionally conducted on the front steps of the Hall of Fame, will be held this year at the Pro Football Hall of Fame Field at Fawcett Stadium.

‘This could mean Price and Marques Sullivan will battle for the starting left tackle spot, although several factors could change that. Should the Bills draft a tackle high in the first or second round in next month’s NFL draft, that player would almost certainly go into camp as the starter.’

‘In all, Price has seen action in 31 games in his career, including 12 with the Saints last season.’

‘His contract with Buffalo is for $1.8 million over three years and includes a $150,000 signing bonus.’

‘Marcus Price, an unrestricted free agent from the New Orleans Saints, approved terms of a three-year, $1.87-million contract with the Bills.’

‘Former Saints quarterback Jeff Blake will visit the Buffalo Bills today, although he said he doesn’t expect to sign a contract.’

‘Visiting with the coaching staff Tuesday was unrestricted free agent Jonathan Quinn, a backup with Jacksonville the past four years. Due in today is Jeff Blake, a former Pro Bowl performer with Cincinnati who was released by New Orleans in a salary cap move.’
