‘"We can verify that Fred was tendered, which we anticipated," Douglas said.’

‘Buffalo Bills linebacker and Orchard Park native Jon Corto, Bills alumni Booker Edgerson, Bob Dugan, Ed Rutkowski, Harry Jacobs, Buffalo Jills cheerleader Amanda and Bills team mascot Billy Buffalo were in attendance at the Variety Kids Telethon 2009 on Sunday to lend their support.’

‘Taylor has been a great back and seems like a great guy, but signing him would only be a very weak way of seeking revenge on the Jaguars, as he was taken with one of the picks Buffalo sent their way for the horridly odious Rob Johnson.’

‘It is unlikely Taylor would sign here unless the money was right and there were assurances of playing time. Pursuing him also raises the question of whether the Bills are looking at the possibility of trading Lynch, who was a Pro Bowl alternate in his second year.’

‘It appears the two AFC East rivals are the only teams bidding for the services of the Pro Bowl back, who was released by Jacksonville last week. Buffalo is an attraction, given Taylor has a relationship with coach Dick Jauron, who was previously on the Jaguars staff.’

‘"Hopefully, he’ll learn from his mistakes and move forward," Delisa Lynch said. "He needs to change his circle of friends. He respects his mom and listens to me."’

‘”At my age, it has to be a fit,” Taylor said. “It has to be that right fit from an offensive standpoint, as far as the staff, just everything. At the end of these visits, or wherever I have to go from here, I’ll just put every team on the plate and say ‘This place, these are the pros and cons. And this place, these are the pros and cons.”

‘”At the end of the day, my No. 1 objective is to get somewhere and compete,” Taylor said after his Buffalo visit. “Nothing is going to be given to me. I don’t expect that.”‘
