The 2010 season is almost here. I’m fairly numb. I could write quite extensively on my flip-flopping between reality (a very bad season) and fantasy (being the sleeper team that gets into the playoffs), but it would make your head hurt. You’d literally watch me go through “Billeiving” and “not Billeiving” so many times that your only explanation for my moodiness and indecisiveness was that I was pregnant.

Welcome to the 2009 BillsZone Cap Page. If you have questions, please refer to the BillsZone Salary Cap Forum for explanations of the chart below.

The Buffalo Bills will wrap up their preseason schedule tonight when they take on the Detroit Lions. Clearly, there are more than just ten Bills players that will be fighting for their NFL futures tonight. Perhaps the biggest name on the list, backup quarterback candidate Brian Brohm, will likely be of particular interest to a large portion of the fan base this evening.

The answers to three of the following five questions about the upcoming Buffalo Bills season may decide how this entire year plays out for the hard luck Bills.

The Buffalo Bills and Chan Gailey have both been absent from the NFL playoffs for a long time. Almost exactly the same amount of time, actually.

Matt Stafford has a simple goal for the Detroit Lions' final preseason game — lead his team to some points. Bills quarterback Trent Edwards is in a similar situation, although Buffalo coach Chan Gailey said he might give his starters as much as a quarter of playing time.

During his freshman year at Wayne State, Joique Bell worked part time as a security guard at Ford Field. An up-and-coming running back in Division II, Bell recognized a Lions scout during a kids camp. After the day's session, he walked up to the scout to ask him a question. "I still remember the conversation to this day," Bell said Tuesday. "I asked him if a guy could ever get drafted from Wayne State. He looked me in my eyes and told me, 'Hey, if you have talent, they'll find you.' "

The Bills will keep their fewest number of draft picks in years, but not because their 53-man roster is getting tougher to make. WR Marcus Easley (fourth round) and LB Danny Batten (sixth round) have gone on injured reserve with season-ending injuries while offensive lineman Kyle Calloway (seventh round) was released at the cut to 75 players.

Settle on a starting quarterback. Nurse an offensive line together. Learn the 3-4 defensive scheme. When it comes to what transpired in Bills training camp and the prospects for the 2010 season, two out of three ain't bad.

RB Marshawn Lynch, who missed two preseason games with an ankle injury, was scheduled to see action against Detroit on Sept. 2. Lynch, who lost his starting job to Fred Jackson a year ago, is now also battling dynamic rookie C.J. Spiller for playing time. "Great, great," Lynch said when asked what he thought of Spiller's play, which included an electrifying 20-yard TD run against the Bengals last weekend. "The young guy came in and has been a big help. Three games, three touchdowns. He's doing pretty good."

Earlier Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported via Twitter that the Bills, Giants, and Raiders have "discussed" trading for Cardinals quarterback Matt Leinart. In the ESPN.com version of the report, Schefter said that the Bills have discussed the subject with the Cardinals.

The fourth and final preseason game is usually the one that doesn't showcase the first team all that much, which leads to many tuning the contest out. But if you like the deepest caverns of an NFL roster, and how one night can either make or break the entire life and career of an individual, then Thursday night is certainly for you.

It’s the last opportunity for players eager to make the final 53-man roster to make an impression on Buffalo’s coaching staff. Tonight is the team’s preseason finale against Detroit and job are literally on the line for some players. Here’s a list of five players that are looking to have big time performances.

Whenever a player returns to play in the NFL city where he grew up there is naturally going to be a good contingent of friends and family eager to come out and support him. That scenario may be taken to the extreme with Bills rookie RB Joique Bell this evening when the Bills face the Lions in their preseason finale (6:30 pm kickoff).

DETROIT -- Detroit Lions starting quarterback Matthew Stafford is expected to get only a cameo appearance in tonight's preseason game against the Buffalo Bills.

ALLEN PARK, Mich. — Matt Stafford has a simple goal for the Detroit Lions' final preseason game: lead his team to some points.

DETROIT -- The Buffalo Bills' depth at running back figures to be on display in the team's final exhibition game tonight against the Detroit Lions.

The Buffalo Bills have denied an ESPN report they were one of three teams that have discussed trading for Arizona Cardinals quarterback Matt Leinart.

The Buffalo Bills are traveling to Detroit today for tomorrow night's preseason finale against the Lions. Jobs are on the line, with the NFL mandating that teams trim their rosters to 53 players this Saturday. We'll talk more about which players can earn roster spots tomorrow; today, we want to focus on players that have already played their way onto the roster.

The preseason opponent Buffalo has seen more than any other in their history will be on the other sideline Thursday night as the Detroit Lions host the Bills for a 6:30 pm kickoff. This is the 29^th meeting between the Bills and Lions in the preseason and the ninth straight preseason in which they have faced one another.

ORCHARD PARK — Buffalo's running back corps is getting healthier with Marshawn Lynch set to play in the Bills' preseason finale against the Detroit Lions on Thursday.

Starting running back Fred Jackson feels there is a 100 percent chance he can play when the Buffalo Bills open the regular season Sept. 12 against Miami.

Buffalo Bills rookie Torell Troup felt for a game like he was back at Central Florida.

Buffalo's running back corps is getting healthier with Marshawn Lynch set to play in the Bills' preseason finale against the Detroit Lions on Thursday.

Over the past few days, I've had several requests from readers to update the number of reps the Buffalo Bills have played throughout the preseason offensively and defensively. I plan to compile this data more thoroughly during the regular season; for now, I can only offer stats for the first team offense and defense, and the offensive data doesn't include the preseason opener against Washington (which I've unfortunately already deleted from the DVR).

The hardest part of Roscoe Parrish's most frustrating season in the NFL last year involved the Buffalo Bills' receiver trying to explain to his 8-year-old son why he wasn't getting any playing time.

ORCHARD PARK — Running back Marshawn Lynch may be back on the field for the Buffalo Bills in their preseason finale on Thursday.

The Buffalo Bills beat the deadline by a full day in trimming their roster to 75 players.

The Buffalo Bills' well-being along the offensive line will rest largely on the health of left tackle Demetrius Bell and his reconstructed right knee.

With the deadline to release players to get the roster down to 75, there is one note that should be mentioned. Despite the fact that Danny Batten and Marcus Easley have both been placed on injured reserve, they currently still count toward the roster total in the preseason. So although the Bills have only 78 healthy players on their roster, their roster total in the eyes of the NFL is still 80.

Back in late April, the Buffalo Bills weren't any different than they are right now at wide receiver. They were young. Lee Evans and Roscoe Parrish aside, the team was stockpiling young talent at the position, inheriting former second-round pick James Hardy, classmate Steve Johnson, and adding fourth-round pick Marcus Easley to the mix.

It's fair to say that optimism surrounding the Buffalo Bills is about as high as can be reasonably expected after two straight solid preseason showings. Bills fans have been entertained, which, at the moment, is masking several glaring deficiencies that the team still hasn't been able to fix. The most-referenced of those deficiencies is kick and punt coverage on special teams.

Buffalo Bills rookie first round running back C.J. Spiller is everything he was advertised to be coming into the NFL out of Clemson so far in the 2010 NFL preseason. After seeing limited snaps in the preseason opener loss to the Washington Redskins, Spiller has come into his own in the second and third preseason games, and has shown why he was highly-touted and worth the high first-round draft pick too.

The Buffalo Bills Backers of Naples, Florida are now accepting membership applications for the 2010 NFL Season. The group meets at TAVERN ON THE BAY located at the corner of Goodlette-Frank Road and US 41 in the Bayfront Marketplace area of Naples, Florida for all Regular Season and Post Season Buffalo Bills NFL Football games.

It looks as if the battle to be the Buffalo Bills’ new starting quarterback has been won — by their old starting quarterback. The team’s official website reports Trent Edwards, who made 30 starts in his previous three NFL seasons, is unofficially the No.1 going into Week 1 of the regular season.

Now that you have been forewarned let me say this about the Bills. They actually look like they have the makings of a team. Trent Edwards will be the starter and he has actually played like one. In Toronto and in Orchard Park he led the team on 5 separate drives for touchdowns. That is exactly 5 more than the first team offense got all last year in the meaningless preseason.

“I’ve always seen this. I could picture it,” McIntyre, 31, said Thursday as he prepares for his third season as the Buffalo Bills’ starting fullback. “Even when everything was going bad. I didn’t ever give up. I always pictured myself starting in this league."

The Buffalo Bills have many unanswered position battles with one preseason game remaining on the schedule. The competition is likely to heat up even more heading into the final preseason contest Thursday at Detroit.

For five seasons coaches have tried to find ways to use Bills receiver Roscoe Parrish in the offense. It looks like Chan Gailey may have finally found a way.

ORCHARD PARK — There was an Aaron Maybin sighting Saturday night.

Perhaps all the talk of finally getting wide receiver Roscoe Parrish more involved in the offense wasn't just lip service after all.

As far as NFL quarterback competitions go, this one will not be a candidate for an episode of CSI: NY.

BUFFALO — There has been some well-publicized friction between Terrell Owens and some of the former quarterbacks he has played with. You won't hear that from Ryan Fitzpatrick.

ORCHARD PARK — If there was any doubt whether or not Trent Edwards is the Bills' No. 1 quarterback, there shouldn't be anymore.

If there was any doubt whether or not Trent Edwards is the Bills’ No. 1 quarterback, there shouldn’t be anymore.

Back in the spring, Bills head coach Chan Gailey conceded that his defense was ahead of his offense. Early in training camp, little seemed to have changed, as the offense struggled to get anything established at St. John Fisher.

If there were any question about who is going to be the starting quarterback for the Buffalo Bills, it should be put to rest now.

As I exited Ralph Wilson Stadium Saturday night after the Buffalo Bills' 35-20 preseason victory over the Cincinnati Bengals, I turned to my father and said the following: "It's hard to believe that the same Trent Edwards we saw tonight was so unbelievably awful last preseason."

The Buffalo Bills, behind an efficient offensive performance spearheaded by C.J. Spiller, Trent Edwards and Roscoe Parrish, overcome sloppy efforts from their defense and special teams in beating the Cincinnati Bengals 35-20 at Ralph Wilson Stadium.

Terrell Owens played just one season in Buffalo, but left with good feelings about his time with the Bills.

On C.J. Spiller’s first three carries of the game he had a grand total of minus-16 yards. Buffalo’s offense didn’t go very far on their opening drive either, but things changed dramatically for the first team offense after that. Trent Edwards and company put together three first half scoring drives with Spiller at the center of the action as Buffalo’s first team offense looked primed and ready for the season in a 35-20 victory over Cincinnati.

ORCHARD PARK — With full apologies to Terrell Owens, his return to Ralph Wilson Stadium tonight as a member of the Cincinnati Bengals should barely even register on the relevancy scale to the Bills, or their fans.

So what will be the Buffalo Bills' quarterback rotation tonight? You'll have to attend the game at Ralph Wilson Stadium to find out.

Place-kickers can be the most scrutinized players in football. Making a last-second field goal is what separates the good ones from the bad ones. Giving a team confidence that they're going to make the kick at the end of a tight game is what defines the great ones.

While a lot of people will be paying attention to a certain pair of high-profile wide receivers on the opposite sideline, the Buffalo Bills will be focused on their own corps of pass catchers tonight against the Cincinnati Bengals.

At 6-10 the 2009 Buffalo Bills suffered through a brutal season but for as bad as it was 2010 may end up being worse. Without a reliable quarterback, a porous offensive line and a defensive line that is falling apart the Bills will struggle to win games in a very tough AFC East.

Bills GM Buddy Nix said on Buffalo radio station 103.3 FM Thursday that Edwards has had the best camp of the quarterbacks, BuffaloBills.com reports. "Trent probably had the best camp," said Nix. "He’s got more talent even though we’ve all got a lot to do. But I’ll leave that (final) assessment up to Chan and it’s something we’ll talk about and then we’ll try to make the right decision."

Many NFL owners want to drop two preseason games and add two regular season games to make it an 18 game season. Players always complain about the long training camps and long preseason so I assumed they'd be all for this plan. Boy was I wrong!

When he got his right foot caught in the turf during an Aug 17th practice after making a catch, Buffalo Bills rookie wide receiver David Nelson thought his shot at making the roster had gone down with him.

Buffalo Bills coach Chan Gailey has been around some great ones, including John Elway. Trent Edwards? So far the Buffalo winger, who received a predraft endorsement from Bill Walsh no less, is no Jim Kelly.

Veteran running back Fred Jackson remains sidelined with a broken hand but Marshawn Lynch could return to action Saturday when the Bills host the Cincinnati Bengals at Ralph Wilson Stadium in their third exhibition outing.

Veteran free agent linebacker Reggie Torbor, 29, who played a backup role in Miami the past two seasons, was on track to winning a starting job with the Bills until suffering an undisclosed injury in last week's preseason win over Indianapolis. Torbor, who was No. 1 on the depth chart at weak outside linebacker ahead of Aaron Maybin, Buffalo's 2009 first-round pick, will miss at least three weeks, coach Chan Gailey said.

Bills fans were hoping this would be the season that the tight end position emerged from a long slumber, becoming a viable force in their team's offense again. Hold that thought.

T.O. and Chad Ochocinco can go on calling themselves Batman and Robin in Cincinnati. Bills cornerback Drayton Florence answers with a comic-book nickname for Buffalo's defensive secondary — "Mr. Freeze," a nemesis of the dynamic duo.

Looks like Donald Jones will be available for Saturday night’s preseason game against the Bengals.

After a good personal performance and a solid offensive performance in their last preseason outing against Indianapolis, C.J. Spiller and the starting offense are anxious to build on their last showing against Cincinnati.

T.O and the Cincinnati Bengals come to town tomorrow for the Bills first preseason game of the year at Ralph Wilson Stadium.

In the midst of a planned switch to the 3-4 defense, the Buffalo Bills - desperate to fortify one of the league's worst run defenses - surprised some folks by selecting Central Florida nose tackle Torell Troup in the second round of the 2010 NFL Draft. Many expected Troup, a 6'3", 315-pound bowling ball that excels at the unheralded dirty work, to take a large bite out of Kyle Williams' snaps as the zero-technique player (nose tackle) in the new defensive alignment.

The Buffalo Bills  preseason game Saturday against the Cincinnati Bengals will be televised locally, but you’ll need to wait until 7 p.m. Sunday to see it.

Roscoe Parrish has heard this one before.

It was Arthur Moats' first game with the Buffalo Bills -- not to mention his first game at inside linebacker -- and it didn't take long for him to look dazed and confused like, well, a rookie.

The bet is the current 16-game NFL schedule will be expanded to 18 and the Buffalo Bills players seem to be divided on the issue.

"Because of the coaching staff," said Whitner. "I don't mean to knock anybody, but I know with some of the things we did in the past some of the teams would look at us and guys would say, 'We don't understand what you guys are doing.' We sort of had our own ways of doing things, which were unique to the National Football League.

Terrell Owens, Chad Ocho Cinco, Carson Palmer, and the rest of the Cincinnati Bengals come in to play the Buffalo Bills in the Bills third preseason game on Saturday night.

The Buffalo Bills are in a year of transition. In changing up the front office, the coaching staff, schemes and terminology, and the atmosphere of the preseason, we've seen a radical shift in how the team's gone about doing things this summer. While we wait to see if those changes lead to better results on the field of play, we can talk about some players that have responded favorably to those changes, and some that haven't.

The Buffalo Bills announced today that the Bills and Greatbatch, Inc. will be teaming up this season with the American Heart Association to "Sack Heart Disease."

The economy has taken a slice out of the value of the Buffalo Bills and the majority of National Football League teams says Forbes magazine in an annual report.

Forbes has released its annual NFL team valuations, and the Buffalo Bills have experienced a precipitous fall from 2009 to 2010. NFL values fell in general, thanks to economic concerns and the possibility of a 2011 lockout. Last year, the Bills were valued at $909 million, good for No. 26 in the NFL, and $112 million more than the lowest-valued team, the Oakland Raiders.

The Buffalo Bills announced today that Saturday’s Kids Day pre-season game against the Cincinnati Bengals at Ralph Wilson Stadium has not sold out, but will still be available to watch on television.

David Nelson said he is “good to go” for the Buffalo Bills’ preseason game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday night. The 2005 Rider High School graduate injured his ankle in practice last week and sat out the Bills’ preseason win over the Indianapolis Colts.

Bills receiver James Hardy(notes) returned to practice on a limited basis Wednesday night for the first time in 15 days, leaving it unclear whether he’ll play in Buffalo’s preseason game against Cincinnati this weekend.

Stung by the economic recession and looming possibility of a players lockout in 2011, the average team value of an NFL franchise has dropped for the first time in 12 years, according to Forbes magazine. Rounding out the five least valuable clubs, the Buffalo Bills sit at 28th worth ($799 million)

As in incredible Michael Jackson-like moves that can excite the football masses, particularly long-suffering Buffalonians who have waited more than a decade for their Bills to re-ignite a long-extinguished spark on offense.

The Buffalo Bills will be using the wildcat this season. It will feature C.J. Spiller. But don't tell anyone. It's supposed to be a secret.

For wide receiver James Hardy, hard luck has followed him all too often during his brief Bills career. His progress as an NFL receiver has been interrupted by major injuries (ACL in 2008) and minor ones (hernia in 2010). Unfortunately for him an undisclosed injury suffered more than two weeks ago only allowed him to get back on the practice field Wednesday night.

The men in Buffalo’s secondary knew in February that seeing Terrell Owens on the practice field every day would not be happening in 2010. With the team announcing it would not extend a contract offer to the free agent, he was going to be playing elsewhere in 2010. As soon as he signed with the Bengals in late July, however, Buffalo’s defensive backs knew they’d be seeing Owens again.

The Buffalo Bills  preseason game Saturday against the Cincinnati Bengals did not sell out in time to be televised on local television. It will be shown on tape delay

PITTSFORD — The Wildcat offensive formation isn't exactly a personal favorite of NFL quarterbacks

How come pro sports are a business only until it comes to the rights of the fans? How come the fans are expected to pledge unmitigated loyalty to their teams while some of those very franchises -- OK, the Buffalo Bills -- provide so little value in return?

NEW YORK -- The average value for NFL teams has fallen for the first time since Forbes began keeping track in 1998.

It's now or never for John McCargo.

Bills rookie WRs David Nelson and Naaman Roosevelt topped the list of the positive surprises out of the team’s training camp this summer. “David Nelson was a pleasant surprise,” Gailey told BuffaloBills.com on Tuesday. ”Even Naaman Roosevelt went out and did some things that were good for all of camp.”

This season, the Buffalo Bills take on the AFC and NFC North divisions, leaving them with very little travel time, as the team doesn't travel west of Kansas City. The Bills entire round trip distance totals roughly 9,300 miles, the shortest in the AFC East division.

There are three teams in the AFC East with established quarterbacks. Then there are the Buffalo Bills. They have Trent Edwards, and while he returns as the starter I'd like a show of hands from those who think he finishes this season as the team's starter. He didn't last year, and in 2008 he missed two of the last four games. Yeah, OK, so injuries were to blame. At some point the Bills must determine if they can trust him. And that point is now.

With rookie running back C.J. Spiller's dynamic potential and first-year coach Chan Gailey's reputation as an offensive innovator, it was only a matter of time before the Buffalo Bills tried out the wildcat. With a little secrecy, the Bills unveiled their version of the option-style formation in practice this week.

The Buffalo Bills will host the twelfth annual Fan Food Drive prior to the August 28 Kids Day preseason game against the Cincinnati Bengals at Ralph Wilson Stadium.

Bills head coach Chan Gailey talked about his team’s lack of mental focus toward the tail end of camp practices when the team wrapped up their time at St. John Fisher Tuesday. He stated how it got sloppier toward the end, which got him even angrier than he was when some mental mistakes were initially made.

Chan Gailey has enough headaches to deal with as he seeks to make this once-proud franchise respectable again. The Buffalo Bills’ new coach doesn’t have time to address the problems of the team’s immediate past. “This is a new beginning for everybody,” Gailey said when asked about last year’s anemic offense. “To me, all the other sins are all kind of gone away.”

When the Buffalo Bills took University of Central Florida's Torell Troup with the 41st pick of this year's NFL draft -- over bigger, flashier names like Alabama's Terrence Cody and Notre Dame's Jimmy Clausen -- observers readied themselves for a lusty round of boos. But the Buffalo fan base did an unexpected thing: they cheered.

An amusing little note comes out of Buffalo Bills training camp Tuesday. A group of fans at a Bills practice were heckling Trent Edwards(notes) and some other Bills players. Head coach Chan Gailey overheard it, and then let those fans know, in no uncertain terms, that they wouldn't be getting autographs after practice.

The Buffalo Bills had been humming along at the NFL-maximum of 80 players on their active roster, but a spate of injuries has led to a flurry of roster activity over the past few days. The team placed rookies Marcus Easley and Danny Batten on IR, and also waived/injured Michael Matthews and John Destin. In turn, the Bills signed two tight ends - J.P. Foschi and Andrew George. They lost four and gained two, but here's why the Bills don't have two free roster spaces.

No one except Chan Gailey knows why he set off at the end of practice to lecture a handful of teenage hecklers, but whatever it was, good for him. Gailey was on the 19th and last day of his first training camp as head coach of the still-woeful Bills. Not much was going his way. His quarterback problem hasn't sorted itself out and two of the three running backs he's counting on to overhaul an anemic offense are nursing injuries. And for all the emphasis Gailey put on fundamentals, his players couldn't even break the huddle Tuesday to his satisfaction.

Poor Buffalo. Every year the Bills try to push for the top of the AFC East, and then September arrives and gravity takes over. Buffalo was last in the division last year. It was last the year before that, too. And it could be ... no, should be ... last this season. But strange things have happened in the AFC East, with none stranger than Miami rebounding from a 1-15 finish in 2007 to win the division the next year.

The artificial turf field at St. John Fisher is next two two grass fields. The latter won't be around in the coming months as the college is getting a new track on the site, with a grass field inside. Still, Deron Chapman and a handful of the grounds crew at the Rochester-area school were busy making sure it was in great shape for Tuesday morning's Buffalo Bills practice. "It's all about safety," one of Chapman's peers explained.

In his three years as the Niagara University point guard, Anthony Nelson has thrown passes to a half dozen players who would go on to play professional basketball overseas.

On a roster that has become a black hole of celebrity or stars, and one seemingly stocked at running back, rookie C.J. Spiller of Clemson finds himself in a weird and wondrous position with the Buffalo Bills.

When Chan Gailey marched through the throng of reporters gathered to record his post-practice words on Tuesday, he was fuming like a school teacher who heard the peep he requested not be uttered.

PITTSFORD – The Buffalo Bills wrapped up their training camp late this morning with a bit of fireworks

PITTSFORD — From the very first practice when the Buffalo Bills trotted onto the grass fields in full pads, to the last workout Tuesday morning when coach Chan Gailey admonished some unruly fans, this was a training camp unlike any other in -the 11-year partnership with St. John Fisher College.

Chan Gailey is known for developing innovative ways to get the most out of the players he has on offense. One formation that he might consider using is the wildcat, which has gained popularity around the NFL after being unveiled successfully by the Miami Dolphins a couple of years ago.

PITTSFORD -- After 19 days of practices, including eight double sessions, the Buffalo Bills broke training camp Tuesday at St. John Fisher College feeling good about what they accomplished but also aware that more work needs to get done before the regular-season opener.

Normally, I don't watch NFL preseason games unless the Bills are involved. It's amazing to think Americans are desperate enough for entertainment to justify airing these fraudulent competitions on national TV.

The Bills injury woes continue to lift on Monday as Chan Gailey announced S Jairus Byrd may return sooner than originally projected.

After watching prized draft choice C.J. Spiller befuddle the Indianapolis Colts' first-team defense Thursday night and undrafted rookie Joique Bell hold his own, the Buffalo Bills shouldn't be in a panic over Fred Jackson's broken hand.

On Monday, the Buffalo Bills signed free agent veteran tight end J.P. Foschi to bolster their scant depth at the position. On Tuesday, the team continued to bolster its depth, albeit in the form of youth, by adding undrafted rookie free agent Andrew George to the roster.

In their pre-season opener against the Washington Redskins, veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick served as the Buffalo Bills' backup quarterback. He completed 9 of 14 passes for 61 yards with a touchdown pass. Two of his 14 throws gained more than 10 yards, not including the five-yard scoring toss to David Nelson.

The Bills RB Marshawn Lynch took a step towards returning to the team on Saturday: literally. According to BuffaloBills.com, Lynch participated in running drills on the side of Saturday’s practice. The 3rd-year vet looked strong when running straight-ahead, but was still moving “very carefully” when cutting side-to-side.

Running back Fred Jackson has a broken hand, suffered in the Bills' first preseason game. He will miss at least the rest of the preseason, with an expected 4-6 week absence. Also, Marshawn Lynch sprained an ankle in the game and could miss the rest of the preseason as well. Bills coach Chan Gailey indicated that Lynch's injury was not expected to be serious.

One day after waiving injured tight end Michael Matthews and signing J.P. Foschi, the Buffalo Bills have added some more depth at the position by signing undrafted free agent tight end Andrew George.

Long gone are the days of face-painted fans cheering for four quarters in Ralph Wilson Stadium. Last season, the stands were filled with people hiding their identities with paper bags and buying billboards intended to expedite the removal of their head coach like he was an unwanted foot of lake-effect snow.

Bills head coach Chan Gailey strongly suggested the team was not done adding to their tight end position following the signing of veteran free agent

J.P. Foschi Monday. One day later they added undrafted rookie free agent Andrew George.

The Buffalo Bills have signed undrafted rookie free agent Andrew George to address their depleted tight end position. The six-foot-five George had a career-best 30 catches for 408 yards and five touchdowns at Brigham Young last year. He signed with Carolina in April before being released in June.

Since undergoing a procedure to take of a non-football injury last week, Bills free safety Jairus Byrd has been recovering off the St. John Fisher campus away from his teammates. In an effort to show he hasn’t been forgotten Buffalo’s entire secondary went to visit him this past Sunday.

PITTSFORD — Arthur Moats went from being the man to just another rookie in the fray.

The Buffalo Bills today signed tight end J.P. Foschi. The four-year veteran spent last season with the Cincinnati Bengals appearing in 15 games with 10 starts.

  Eric Wood got a chance to get reacquainted with his old position Monday. With starting center Geoff Hangartner getting the day off, Wood handled the snapping for the first-team offense during team drills.

     PITTSFORD -- The Buffalo Bills' tight end situation became a little less dire on Monday.
