Some tidbits (wonder if the last one is really true?):
---Regarding Kelsey: The Bills (http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/team/buffalo-bills) hard-working-but-sack-challenged veteran defensive end has collected a mere 4.5 sacks in the two seasons since signing a four-year, $23 million contract. He has just 17 sacks in his six-year NFL career, an average of fewer than 3.0 per season....
Kelsay finds himself fighting for not just his starting job but his roster spot as the Bills (http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/team/buffalo-bills) get set to open training camp on July 25 in Rochester, N.Y.
---Flamboyant agent Drew Rosenhaus is already working on getting wide receiver Terrell Owens (http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/player/70702) an extension beyond his one-year deal, saying his client is enjoying Buffalo and wouldn't mind finishing his career there.
---Lankster, who played at West Virginia, could prove to be a sleeper for the Bills (http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/team/buffalo-bills). In spring drills, he collected five interceptions and seven pass breakups.
--- If the NFL goes forward with expanding its schedule by a game or two, Toronto's Rogers Communications wants badly to land more Bills (http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/team/buffalo-bills) games.
"I'm sure they want another game. And who knows?" Wilson said. "I don't know whether they'll get another game or not. We'll have to see how it works out up there."
---Things were so shaky at nickel, the Bills (http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/team/buffalo-bills) used strong safety Donte Whitner (http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/player/401237) on the slot receiver for many games. Corner eventually emerged late in the season and now is poised to win the job outright.
---Scott has replaced Whitner at the starting strong safety spot leaving Whitner in a three-way fight for the starting job at free safety. Simpson's play has tailed off but the team is high on rookie Byrd.
