Bills report: Notes, quotes
--Tennessee swooped in to out-deal Jacksonville for RB Travis Henry (http://www.sportsline.com/nfl/players/playerpage/235216), sending the player back to the state where he starred in college. How did it go down?
"We made it clear to the teams [that] if somebody [was] willing to step up and give us a solid third, we [would] do the deal," general manager Tom Donahoe said. "A couple teams said, 'What if you get two offers for a third-round pick?' I said our inclination would be to take who offered it to us first." http://www.sportsline.com/nfl/teams/report/BUF/8674442

Bills report: Strategy and personnel
He's no Michael Vick, but Bills (http://www.sportsline.com/nfl/teams/page/BUF) QB J.P. Losman (http://www.sportsline.com/nfl/players/playerpage/493000) is no turtle when it comes to flat-out running speed. At the combine workout before the 2004 draft, the former Tulane star clocked consistently in the 4.6 range in the 40-yard dash.
Before breaking his leg in a freak training camp collision with CB Troy Vincent (http://www.sportsline.com/nfl/players/playerpage/4442), Losman was the Bills' second-leading rusher in preseason last summer with 80 yards on seven carries. http://www.sportsline.com/nfl/teams/report/BUF/8674443

Bills report: Inside slant
It took 5 1/2 months to trade Travis Henry (http://www.sportsline.com/nfl/players/playerpage/235216), but the Bills (http://www.sportsline.com/nfl/teams/page/BUF) have been planning all along for life without the former Pro Bowl running back as the primary backup to Willis McGahee (http://www.sportsline.com/nfl/players/playerpage/396170).
General manager Tom Donahoe and coach Mike Mularkey have lined up plenty of candidates to compete for the No. 2 job when training camp kicks off July 30. http://www.sportsline.com/nfl/teams/report/BUF/8674441
