Bears talk with Washington

‘[Ted Washington] could spend weeks visiting other interested employers, but he didn’t seem eager to do so at Monday afternoon’s Halas Hall press conference. "Hopefully not," he said of the possibility of taking other trips. "I like what I see here, and think I’ll fit in good."’

Arlington Heights Daily Herald | Mar 20, 2001

Back to future for Van Pelt

‘Van Pelt, a dependable backup with the Buffalo Bills for six seasons, re-signed, as expected, with the club yesterday. The Bills are switching to the West Coast offense under new coach Gregg Williams, the quick, rhythm passing attack that Van Pelt operated at the University of Pittsburgh in the early 1990s where he broke many of Dan Marino’s records.’

Bills re-sign Van Pelt

‘The Bills as usual did not disclose terms of Van Pelt’s contract — which is believed to be at or slightly above the veteran minimum salary of $477,000 for 2001, with a small signing bonus.’

Tom Donahoe quotes (3/19)

On Buffalo’s cap situation:

We don’t think [it’s all cleared up], though we’re trying to. At least right now, the cap is at a place where it’s manageable and we can survive on a daily basis. Each time we go to sign somebody, it has implications with the cap, and we have to study it and look at it. We’re going to have to continue to do that.

Bills re-sign unrestricted free agent QB Van Pelt

‘"Everyone wants to play, but Rob’s the guy," Van Pelt said. "There’s no question. There was no question in my mind all along. What helps me is that I know my job: Be ready to go at the No. 2 or No. 3 spot and support the guy who’s in there."’

Bills re-sign Van Pelt

‘After two years of salary-cap-forced purges, the Bills aren’t out of the woods just yet. Although the situation is more manageable, Donahoe said he doesn’t expect to be comfortably clear of the cap until next year.’

BillsBeat - March 19, 2001

Ostroski restructures contract

‘Ostroski signed a 2-year extension through 2004, getting a $2 million signing bonus. He took a pay cut on his base salary this season from $1.5 to 1.25 million, pushing some money to the last two years of the deal. This freed up $1 million in cap room and, according to sources, the Bills are now about $4 million under the cap.’

Empire Sports | Mar 19, 2001

Van Pelt, Carpenter, McDaniel sign with Bills

‘The Bills have announced that free safety Keion Carpenter and wide receiver Jeremy McDaniel, both of whom were exclusive rights free agents, have accepted the team’s tendered offers. Van Pelt will continue with the Bills for a 7th season.’

Spring football pays little for exercising Bills

‘Would you work out under the instruction of nutrition and exercise experts at no cost? Would you do it in Buffalo even if your annual six- or seven-figure income allowed you to live in climates where spring was actually a season and not just an annual wish? Would you do it for $80 per day, plus food?’

Business First of Buffalo | Mar 19, 2001

It's still open season on grid speculating

‘The Johnson-Flutie issue won’t go away because the media loves it. It makes copy for the print journalists, when football writers were once struggling for material in the off season. And for radio and TV, it’s a bonanza.’

KC Chiefs hesitate to trade for someone else's backup

So was either [Brad or Rob] Johnson worth the No. 1 draft choice their teams coughed up to get them? Not according to [Chiefs president/general manager Carl Peterson] Peterson. "I think those were very, very foolish trades," Peterson said. "I would never do that. That doesn’t make sense to me. Maybe it did to them at that time or whatever, but we’re in a different situation. Our No. 1 draft pick is worth too much. I wouldn’t want anyone to think that we absolutely, positively, unequivocally think that we have to have Trent Green."

Sell 'em before they get stale

‘PLB Sports, the Pittsburgh company that dreamed up the hit cereal, is packing a truckload of 20,000 boxes depicting Flutie in Buffalo Bills red, white and blue to meet demand by Chargers’ fans. The breakfast food will be sold at Longs Drug stores in Southern California.’

Fluties want foundation to Give money Back

‘Local football hero Doug Flutie and his wife, Laurie, have broken ranks with The Giving Back Fund, a Boston-based nonprofit that manages celebrity charities, and a battle looms over more than $2 million the Fluties have raised and want to move to their own autism foundation.’

Boston Herald | Mar 18, 2001
