Special teams captain, Sammy Morris, “I had no idea until our special teams meeting and Danny (Smith) kind of mentioned it. It’s kind of sad, but that’s how the league is.”
Williams said they’ll have their decision made by Monday evening and will go with a face that’s familiar to them, “We’ll go with some of the people we brought in here and worked out, that we had chance to take a look at first-hand.” It appears the leading candidate is another first year player, Shayne Graham. While the Bills could not confirm Graham as their next kicker Monday night he’s was due in Buffalo Monday evening. He’s expected to sign Tuesday.
Morris inadvertently gave a hint that it wouldn’t be a veteran kicker like Al Del Greco or Doug Brien when he spoke to the media Monday afternoon, “There’s not much we can do now as far as Jake getting cut. We have to welcome in the new guy and help him feel comfortable around our bunch of guys, and he’s never been in the league before. It’s up to us to make him feel comfortable.”
