‘The Buffalo Bills re-signed running back Shaud Williams and secured the rights to defensive linemen Anthony Hargrove and Tim Anderson by tendering both one-year contract offers Wednesday.’

‘Both Anderson and Hargrove can begin entertaining offers from other clubs when free agency opens March 2, but the Bills retain the right of first refusal on both players.’

‘Sources tell WGR the Buffalo Bills have tendered restricted free agent Anthony Hargrove a one year contract worth $850,000.’

‘Emily, Kelli and Eileen had the opportunity to shot an extremely large weapon with 35 lb bullets. It was a big machine in the ground, not something you can just pick up and through over your shoulder. It was pretty cool to watch them and it seemed like they got a big rush out of it.’

‘”My goal is not to just make someone bigger, faster and stronger,” said Wire, a Camp Hill native, who is a linebacker and special teams captain for the Buffalo Bills. “My goal is to help young men and women be a little better each day as (people).”‘

‘…don’t be surprised to see the Bills pursue Scott, Myers or McKinley beginning this Friday. All would be fairly priced options who could step in and immediately impact the Tampa 2, where their size makes them perfect fits.’

‘Roth is literally hitting the road on Wednesday when he begins the process of scouting next year’s seniors for the 2008 NFL Draft. "Basically I’m providing the first looks for the seniors next fall," said Roth.’

‘While Kelsay wanted to stay, it does not appear the Bills got a major “hometown discount.” No team can get a starting player to take himself off the market the week of free agency without paying fair-market value. The Bills did just that.’

‘The best of the bunch is probably the Indianapolis Colts ‘ Nick Harper. Though not nearly the cover corner Clements is, Harper has flashed a good deal of playmaking ability during his time in the NFL. The 32-year-old has 15 interceptions during his six-year career, including four straight seasons of at least three picks. The 5-10, 182-pounder has also demonstrated tackling prowess, with at least 66 in each season since 2003 (75 in ’06).’

‘”It’s in our best interest to listen to everybody, and no people are untouchable,” Jauron told The Associated Press at the NFL’s annual scouting combine at Indianapolis on Monday. “He’s a good back. He’s our starting running back right now. It’s no surprise to me at all that people are interested.”‘

‘Kelsay, who played his college football at the University of Nebraska, was the 48th player chosen in the 2003 NFL Draft.’

‘A second-round draft pick in 2003 out of Nebraska, Kelsay emerged as one of the Bills’ top defensive linemen last season. Starting all 16 games for the second straight year, he had career highs in tackles (88) and sacks (5.5), finishing third on the team in sacks and sixth in tackles.’

‘Financial terms were not disclosed for Kelsay, who was eligible to become an unrestricted free agent on Friday.’

‘"Buffalo really came after me hard," said Kelsay. "I said when I came out of college that I wanted to play for one team my entire career and now it looks like that’s going to happen. So I’m very pleased. The Bills exceeded my expectations."’

‘With Buffalo facing the likely possibility of losing Nate Clements to free agency, bolstering their secondary could be in order and David covered some of college’s best wideouts in the SEC facing the likes of Robert Meacham, Dwayne Bowe and Sidney Rice.’
