‘”I am very happy to be here in Jacksonville. It’s great to know that the Jaguars wanted me as a free agent and I have found a home here. I am very familiar with the city and I have friends here,” Williams said. “My goals in Jacksonville are to become the dominant offensive tackle that I know I am and in the process help this team win games.”‘

‘”We got a powerful, athletic offensive lineman. We’ll give him an opportunity to compete at right tackle and possibly some at guard,” Jaguars head coach Jack Del Rio said of Williams, who visited Alltel Stadium on Monday.’

‘"We were hoping they would open their eyes and say they would give this guy what he deserves and move on," Johnson said. "But they didn’t, so we don’t have time to keep hoping. There is no more time to hope."’

‘He says working on the Bills radio broadcasts was a big help in getting him out of depression. "It was a huge step forward, four or five steps forward," Burris said.

This has given me another opportunity to be on that time frame."’

‘”Our intention remains to keep Eric as a part of our team,” Levy said.’

‘Moulds is losing leverage as the free agent season progresses through its first week.’

‘As of late Saturday afternoon, Bills general manager Marv Levy said "we still want to retain him(Moulds) and we’re preceeding on that basis."’

“Let him go, it’s only fair,” Greg Johnson, Moulds’ personal advisor, said today after talking with his client. “If they’re not going to pay what we feel is fair-market value, he should be allowed to go somewhere where he could maybe get it.”

Johnson said he first asked the Bills to release Moulds during conversations with team officials on Friday. He delayed going public with the announcement to see if there were any developments during the first days of the NFL’s free agency period, which opened Saturday.

‘Jerman signed with the Bills before the 2005 season and appeared in 10 games, starting three at right tackle.’

‘Jerman can play both guard and tackle and has four career starts in 21 games.’

‘After spending his first three years in the NFL with Miami (2002-04), Jerman was signed by the Bills during the 2005 offseason and played in 10 games, starting three at right tackle, for Buffalo last year.’

‘Davis is a four-year NFL veteran whose production suggests he’s a No. 4 receiver candidate. After three unsatisfying years with the Cleveland Browns, Davis saw spot duty last year with New England. He said he was encouraged to come to Buffalo by Bills quarterback Kelly Holcomb, his former teammate with the Browns. “Kelly was probably the biggest influence on me coming here,” Davis said. “He’s a close friend of mine. He was recruiting me.”‘
