Buffalo Bills out to impress in season finale

‘"Every week," coach Chan Gailey replied when asked if players are playing for their jobs. "All of us, everybody, that’s the way it is in our business. What have you done for me lately?"’

Buffalo Bills sign Shawne Merriman to two-year contract

‘”We believe he should make a full recovery and be healthy,” said general manager Buddy Nix, who was with the Chargers when they drafted Merriman in the first round in 2005. “There’s risk involved in anything. Drafting any of these 20-year-olds has risks involved. We had been working on it and we agreed on it and got everything signed this morning. I know he’s a leader. He’s been a Pro Bowler. He’s only 26-years old and if he’s healthy he’ll make plays for us and help us win games.”‘

Matchup with Jets presents a delicate balance for Bills

‘So the Bills’ path to the No. 2 pick goes like this: Denver beats San Diego; and either Cincinnati beats Baltimore or the Bengals lose to the Ravens while Indianapolis beats Tennessee, Jacksonville loses to Houston and Kansas City loses to Oakland. A Bengals loss coupled with those other results would give the Bills and Bengals a strength-of-schedule tie and force a coin flip to decide who gets the earlier pick.’

Jets may treat this one like a preseason game

‘The Jets might treat this like a preseason game; the Bills won’t. Bills, 20-16.’

Bills ink Merriman to contract extension

‘Merriman is only 26 years old. The Bills think committing to him is a risk worth taking, given what he has done on the field when he has been fully healthy.’

Nix is wishing on a fading star

‘My initial reaction was why. Why would Merriman sign with the Bills when he was scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent, with the right to peddle his services to all 32 teams? Why rush into this deal and eliminate a precious opportunity to test the waters for the highest bidder?’

QB depth in draft may not give Bills options

‘The problem is that the depth chart at quarterback when the college draft nears may be no deeper than it was last spring when it began and ended with Sam Bradford. He gave St. Louis, to its delight, its own escape from mediocrity. The only other quarterback selected in the first round was Tim Tebow, whom many scouts decreed was more likely to become a tight end. Tebow began to look like a true quarterback only last week.’

Bills, Jets looking to win for different reasons

‘”This is a game for us to be remembered,” running back Fred Jackson(notes) said of Gailey’s message to the team. “How we want to finish the season, do we want to go in and throw in the towel? I don’t think anybody in that locker room wants to just say there’s no significance in this game. I don’t think you’re going to get that out of anybody in the locker room.”‘

‘New York Jets 20, Buffalo 9.’

Bills re-sign Merriman

‘”We had been working on it and we agreed on it and got everything signed this morning,” Bills GM Buddy Nix told Buffalobills.com. “I know he’s a leader. He’s been a Pro Bowler. He’s only 26-years old and if he’s healthy he’ll make plays for us and help us win games.”‘

Bills re-sign LB Merriman

‘The Bills announced the signing in a text message sent to the media on Saturday, a day before Buffalo (4-11) closes its season at the New York Jets.’
