"Based on my production and my role in this offense, I wouldn't count on coming back," he said. After catching a career-high 53 passes for 590 yards and three touchdowns in 2001, Riemersma finished this season with 32 receptions for 350 yards and no scores even though he played in every game and started 15.
Though Riemersma didn't criticize team president Tom Donahoe directly, the 29-year-old in his seventh season in Buffalo clearly was upset with what he thought was some misinformation about him.
"You heard a lot about me not being willing to help out on the salary cap. I was willing to give back two million (dollars). That wasn't enough in their eyes. Everyone put out that Jay's agent (Jack Wirth) wouldn't talk with the Bills, but they were not willing to negotiate long term."
