Bills running back Lynch spared jail after guilty plea in gun case

‘”Today I pled guilty to a misdemeanor violation of having a firearm in a vehicle. I am embarrassed by my recent arrest and conviction. I deeply regret that I placed myself in this situation. I have made mistakes in the past. Although I have learned many lessons over recent years, I obviously have not learned enough. I apologize to my family, the Buffalo Bills organization, my teammates, the Buffalo community, and Commissioner Goodell. I have already learned from this recent mistake and am sincerely committed to being a more responsible citizen and better representative of the NFL.”‘

LB Keiaho visits with Bills

‘”I talked to the defensive coordinator and they really like me,” said Keiaho. “They want to shore up the SAM linebacker position. They talked to me about that. It’s an exciting possibility.

Cornerback shuffle saves Bills money, but at what cost?

‘At a reported roughly $7 million over two seasons, Florence is a comparative bargain to what Greer should get, although it remains to be seen if cheapening out with Shurfine instead of splurging on a true brand name is actually false economy.’

LB June, RB Foster pay visits

‘”Defensively, their schemes fit me and fit me well,” June said of the Bills. “I think I could fit in well with the players that they have here. They’re on the brink of being a championship team, so to me that’s a great asset and a great way to continue my career.”‘
