‘"Obviously, I missed a lot. I have a lot of catching up to do," Maybin remarked. "I’m excited to get back on the field and work with my coaching staff."’

‘He is expected to begin practicing on Monday, the team’s first session after it returns home following a preseason game at Green Bay on Saturday. Buffalo has two preseason games left, at Pittsburgh on Aug. 29 and at home against Detroit on Sept. 3.’

‘"I can’t really speak about how important that was to me," said Maybin. "Being able to have their support and have them stand by me when I was going through this process was crucial. As a young guy coming into this league it’s difficult when you’re faced with the business aspect of the game in such a dramatic fashion. Not a lot of people really understand what the players go through during that process. To hear from guys that have been through it before and understand the business, to have their support and encouragement meant a lot."’

‘The contract is for five years and is worth a maximum of $25 million. Maybin was expected to hold a news conference today at Ralph Wilson Stadium.’

‘"There’s a lot of talent on the line," McKinney said. "Everybody hears about the new positions and all that stuff, but that goes away about the first day of camp. It should be a good unit. We’ve got a few young guys and older guys, and it should be good."’

‘”I did complete no-huddle throughout college,” Fitzpatrick said. “That’s what we did. It’s a style of play that I really like.”‘
