Orchard Park, NY – The Buffalo Bills today announced that the team has re-signed guard Corey Hulsey, defensive end Jarrett Procell, and fullback Josh Roth. All three players were with the team as unsigned free agents during the 2000 preseason and spent the entire regular season on the practice squad. Roth played at the University of Buffalo after starring at Pine Valley Central High School. Hulsey and Procell joined the team as unsigned rookie free agents out of Clemson and Louisiana Tech, respectively.

‘It’s telling that there was no groundswell of protest when Wilson tendered Phillips his pink slip. And, since then, the Bills’ 82-year-old owner has done everything right … either by plan, or sheer good fortune.’

WGR reported that former Bills quarterback, Joe Ferguson, will be interviewed for the QB coach position.

Anderson, Lewis’s very vocal agent, accuses the Bills of bias in the negotiations with Lewis. If anything the Bills were biased TOWARD Lewis for Lewis was the only candidate who got a second interview due to him "not interviewing well" the first time. Tom Donahoe, who hired him before in Pittsburgh, felt he may have been exhausted after his Super Bowl run and wanted to give him a second chance.

The Bills line has not been described as tough last three years so following quote may not be a compliment:

"A coaching change could be coming on the Lions’ offensive line. Carl Mauck, who played 12 NFL seasons with four teams, was at the Silverdome on Friday. Mauck has been an NFL assistant with six teams since 1982 and with Buffalo the last three. His units have reflected his toughness as a player."

‘Marv and a Fish agree – they hope their accomplishments stand forever. With NFL parity, Levy’s record of coaching four straight Superbowls is more likely to stand than Buoniconti’s record of being a member of an undefeated team.’

‘The Buffalo Bills have lost another assistant coach from the Wade Phillips regime as offensive line coach Carl Mauck has reached an agreement to coach in the same capacity for the Detroit Lions, The Buffalo News has learned.’

‘Fantasy football article about AFC teams, mentioning the Eagles may be interested in Moulds. I guess 6 years, $64 million makes it all moot.’
