‘"I think they have a good shot at making the playoffs but the AFC East is one of the toughest divisions in football."’

‘If you’re not heading out for the Buffalo Bills parade or the street celebration that will follow, it might be a good idea to avoid the village’s four corners this afternoon.’

‘The roster currently stands at 85. The team has five roster exemptions for players who spent the season in NFL Europe.’

‘Fans can get more of the Bills at Friday night’s parade in Pittsford. The parade will start at 6:00 p.m. on South Main Street.’

‘Reed, selected 36th in last April’s draft, signed a reported four-year deal worth close to $3.5 million.’

‘Linta said the surgery, which will be performed in Pittsburgh, is relatively minor, and Dinkins could rejoin the Bills within two months.’

‘With Johnson in Tampa Bay, and Flutie entering his second season in San Diego, the Bills gear up for a new type of camp, one that doesn’t feature any hint of the divisive Johnson-vs.-Flutie feud that clouded the team the previous four years.’

Rookies and selected veterans were on the field for a pair of practices on Thursday, July 25 to officially open the 2002 Buffalo Bills Bausch & Lomb Training Camp at St. John Fisher College.

Effectiveness of Wide Receiver Tandem:

I look for them to be among the best in the league as a tandem of outside receivers. They are both extremely talented guys with good speed and size and can catch the ball very well. Peerless (Price) is a very precise route runner, while Eric (Moulds) is explosive after he catches the ball and very hard to tackle.

‘Reed, last year’s Biletnikoff award winner as the nation’s top wide receiver, earned a reputation at LSU as an aggressive receiver in traffic. He was the 36th player selected in the draft.’

Reed signs with Bills. Also reports that Reggie Germany was waived after failing a physical. If that’s the case, it may be the first surprise of the year.

The Bills have agreed to terms with second-round draft choice WR Josh Reed. Additionally, the Bills this morning announced several other roster moves.

Reggie Germany was one of the selected veterans in early at Bills training camp Wednesday. The main reason is Germany is still rehabbing his left knee from surgery he had performed in June. “I’ll be on PUP. to start.” the second year WR explained. “I had microfracture surgery on the knee.” He said.

WGR Radio reports Josh Reed signed and will be in camp – no link yet.

‘The Bills continue to negotiate with the agents for first-round pick Mike Williams and second-rounders Josh Reed and Ryan Denney.’

‘The News will begin a Training Camp Billboard to run each day the team practices. The Billboard, which begins Friday, will appear in addition to the usual Bills coverage.’
