‘Durability not ability has been his issue, which is why Buffalo was lukewarm in their pursuit to retain his services. Bell missed large chunks of two the past three seasons with knee and shoulder injuries. He did play all 16 games in 2010.’

‘The Bills now have nine receivers on their offseason roster, counting utility man Brad Smith. The competition for the No. 2 spot after Stevie Johnson will be fierce.’

‘Bills fans could have something to look forward to when Buffalo hosts the Washington Redskins in preseason play this August – the NFL debut of Heisman Trophy quarterback Robert Griffin III. The Redskins hold the No. 2 pick in the draft and are expected to select Griffin. The date of the game has yet to be determined but will take place between Aug. 9-13. Buffalo’s second exhibition game at Ralph Wilson Stadium is against Pittsburgh (Aug. 23-26). Buffalo travels to Minnesota (Aug. 16-20) and Detroit (Aug. 29 or 30). The Bills were originally scheduled to play one preseason game in Toronto but it was moved back to Orchard Park due to scheduling issues at the Rogers Centre.’
