‘No matter where I’ve lived, my love for all things BILLS has been my trademark. My husband enjoys watching what happens when someone who doesn’t know me starts talking football, and crawls away after I’ve inundated them with BILLS smack.’

Defensive tackle Justin Bannan enters his second season in the NFL. As a rookie, the former Colorado standout provided quality depth along the defensive line for the Bills, playing in 15 of 16 games. He finished the season with 30 tackles (18 solo), 1.0 sack, one fumble recovery and seven QB pressures.

Only single seats are available for the home opener against New England on Sunday, September 7, and the September 28, meeting with the Philadelphia Eagles.

‘The Buffalo Bills, however, signed him to play running back, holding out the carrot that they might eventually evaluate him as a quarterback. Sent to NFL Europe for development, Dinkins became football’s version of the Swiss army knife. With the Amsterdam Admirals, he was used as a quarterback, running back, defensive back, kick and punt returner and kick holder. "The Bills were looking at him as a free safety, and a running back," O’Billovich says.’

‘The poster child for the Bills’ offseason conditioning program is running back Travis Henry, who is coming off a great second season. "He’s the example for the guys to see how we want this offseason program to work," Williams said.’

The Houston Texans re-signed WR Avion Black on Friday. Black, acquired from the Buffalo Bills in the expansion draft, caught six passes for 52 yards last season and averaged a team-best 22 yards on 24 kickoff returns.
