So this is a little appreciation and me giving back to the fans that were here before I got here and those that continue to follow.”‘

‘"They call me old man and make jokes about me and all," said Green, who turns 34 in August. "But I love it. I’ve been blessed to be at this point in my career so I use it as encouragement."’

‘”It’s a good feeling, that little stress gone from my life,” said Batten from Buffalo on Thursday. “We got it negotiated quick. It was actually a really good deal – my agent thinks it’ll be one of the top deals in my round.”‘

‘Chosen 192nd overall out of South Dakota State, Batten was the All-Missouri Valley Conference co-defensive player of the year last season. Listed at 6-foot-3 and 254 pounds, he was credited with 274 tackles and 23 sacks in 46 career games, including 45 starts.’
