‘Chambers, a two-year NFL veteran, has been out of football since being released by Cleveland in September. He played the previous two seasons with the Browns, appearing in 21 games, mostly on special teams.’

‘”It’s a lot different for me than it was five, six years ago,” he said. “I have to factor in my family. This could be probably the last contract of my career.”‘

‘That’s partly why the club began to bolster their roster with potential offensive line depth Thursday in the form of Kirk Chambers who signed a free agent contract with Buffalo. A sixth-round pick of the Cleveland Browns in 2004, Chambers appeared in 21 games in 2004 and 2005, after being a four-year starter at left tackle in college at Stanford.’

‘The price increase will be felt most by fans sitting in the best seats – those along the sidelines.’

‘"We’ve tried to continue to be responsible, but it’s a function of doing business these days," said vice president of business operations Russ Brandon on Wednesday in announcing the price increases. "The main fact is that we remain the least expensive ticket, on average, in the NFL."’

‘If Everett, who caught 23 passes for 310 yards in his final season at Miami, can develop into a decent go-to option for the Bills next year, Losman and the remainder of the offense would be far better off. Of course, the Texas native has to make the roster first.’

‘"We enabled him to do some things that we probably weren’t doing in the first half of the year," said offensive coordinator Steve Fairchild. "We still weren’t doing things to any degree that we would have liked to, but as the season went on we were able to do more third down and red zone situations with him in the practice setting."’

‘”I’ve grown to love him very, very much,” Thomas said. “And it would be special if he can be there.”‘
