‘The Bills Monday announced that only single seats remain for Bills home dates against the NY Jets (9/24), Minnesota Vikings (10/1), New England Patriots (10/22) and Green Bay Packers (11/5) after the team opened its sale of individual game tickets over the weekend.’

‘The Buffalo Bills have signed their second rookie from their 2006 Draft class.’

‘Ellison, a two-year starter at Oregon State, finished second on the team with 99 tackles in 2005. He was also an All-Pac 10 Conference first-team choice.’

‘"I missed a lot of work at all those OTAs so it was important to get my contract done," said Ellison. "I need to be at training camp on time."’

‘"We have expectations that these guys will help us in some kind of way, be it first and second down, or on third downs in a sub package," said Fewell. "In some type of way some of these guys are going to have to come in and contribute and make our defense better."’

‘We’ve seen the best Holcomb has to offer, though. And it’s not good enough. Unless you like going 5-11.’

‘Lester, a defensive assistant for the Buffalo Bills, is the longest-tenured coach on the team. He came here in 1987 to work for still-new head coach Marv Levy; since then, he’s worked for four more coaches.’

‘To many, this move typifies the proactive approach the 80-year-old Levy will be using as the Bills’ GM. As a rookie executive, Levy’s No. 1 goal is to field a highly-improved team from last year, and retain the organization’s core players. Without question, the 24-year-old Peters is among Buffalo’s most important young talents, along with guys like receiver Lee Evans and cornerback/kick returner Terrence McGee.’
