Bills report: Notes, quotes, anecdotes
The decision by rookie WR Lee Evans to wear No. 83 has caused a stir among some Bills fans who think the number should be taken out of circulation in respect to Andre Reed, the team's all-time receiver. The Bills have retired only one number, 12, worn by QB Jim Kelly. Other numbers, like 32 (O.J. Simpson), are no longer issued. But those in an uproar over Evans' wearing 83 are forgetting that TE Dave Moore wore the number recently. At least Evans is a wide receiver with the potential to do Reed's old number justice.
Bills report: Strategy and personnel
The Bills will hold another organized team activity (fancy name for minicamp) Monday through Thursday, May 24-27, at Ralph Wilson Stadium. Coach Mike Mularkey, who as a new head coach gets an extra session, has also blocked off 10 days in June for pre-training work.
Attendance is voluntary but only the most established veterans stay away from these offseason gatherings around the NFL. Mularkey's rookie and newcomer orientation camp April 30-May 2 drew 100 percent attendance from Buffalo's veterans.
