‘Peters played in all 16 games last season, starting 10 times. He had two catches for five yards and a touchdown. The versatile 6-foot-4, 328-pounder has also played tight end and on special teams during his first two seasons in the league.’

‘Because of Peters’ solid play, Williams was then tried at left guard, but that experiment failed. Williams was released by the team in February, and has since signed with Jacksonville.’

‘He finished last year with nine consecutive starts at right tackle.’

‘"We just felt he was a very good young prospect who has a great future ahead of him," said Bills Vice President of Football Administration Jim Overdorf. "We wanted to make a commitment to Jason and he was willing to make a commitment to the Buffalo Bills."’

‘”I’ve seen myself at New England already in the locker room right before the game,” said Spikes. “I’m just waiting on the game now. It’s just a matter of time.”‘

‘Do you make accomodations for your age?

Levy: No, I only make accomodations for what I absolutely cannot do. As you get older there are some things you can’t do that you could do before. You don’t hear as well, that’s almost universal. I can’t run as fast as I used to. But don’t give in to a bunch of restrictions, don’t give in.’

‘Buffalo’s other tall receiver, Sam Aiken, will probably remain as one of the best special teams players in football, but not a legitimate offensive threat.’

‘Even if Fairchild can provide some answers for the Bills this season, nobody seems to be able to answer their most pressing question: Where’s their quarterback? Kelly Holcomb was the best they had last year, but even with Holcomb the quarterback position looks like a duct-taped list of potential backups. The Bills are hoping former first-round draft pick J.P. Losman finally lives up to the hype but he’s struggled when given an opportunity to lead the offense so far in his career.’
