‘A standout wide receiver from University at Buffalo, Haddad most recently played with the Frankfurt Galaxy of NFL Europe where he led his team in receiving with 28 receptions for 455 yards. Prior to his NFL Europe experience, Haddad spent the 2001 and 2002 seasons with the Indianapolis Colts before being released prior to the 2003 season.’

‘"I was extremely excited to find out that Buffalo was interested in me," Haddad said. "Coming back to this area is a great feeling and I just want to get out and put that jersey on and make plays for this team."’

‘"When I get home, I try to relieve my wife of some of the duties she has to partake in while I’m gone," Brown said. "I’ll just try to clean up the house or take the kids somewhere just to give her a chance to relax."’

‘”We felt that right now we have some (cap) room with what Drew did and we made some offers to see if the guys were interested, but it’s not a case of where it’s going to drag through the whole summer. Either they are interested or they’re not."’

Q: I was wondering what you had to say about Willis McGahee’s recent development. Do you think he’ll be ready to take some carries this season or will we have to wait another year to judge if he was worth a first-rounder?

A: Gauging McGahee’s development is difficult, if not impossible, because all anyone has seen him do with the Buffalo Bills so far is stretch and run around in a jersey and shorts.

His agent is working on another NFL tryout. Since his last regular gig with the Buffalo Bills back in 2001, McDaniel has had tryouts with the San Francisco 49ers in 2002 and the San Diego Chargers in 2003. "I’m keeping my options open," he said. "If it happens that’s great. If not I will do my best to make it work out in the AFL."
