‘”It was pretty upsetting to get the call today,” Jones said. “It kind of was a shock. But it is what it is. Now me and my family will move forward to another team and hopefully I get to play against the Bills.”‘

‘Ivan Reitman, best known for directing “Ghostbusters” and “Stripes,” was also seen with Tim Clark, director of the Buffalo Niagara Film Commission, who declined official comment. A spokesman with the Bills confirmed the tour and said Reitman also met team CEO Russell Brandon.’

‘Jones made the Bills as an undrafted free agent in 2010. While showing signs of promise, he’s been inconsistent in proving himself as a starter.’

‘Jones made the Bills as an undrafted college free agent in 2010 and started 22 of the 35 games he played in during his three-year stint with the organization. The 25-year-old had his most productive campaign this past year, establishing career highs in catches (41), receiving yards (443) and touchdowns (4) over 12 games.’

‘All of this presented a clear message to the Bills’ passionate fan base that mediocrity will not be tolerated moving forward.’

‘Bills General Manager Buddy Nix said, “We have made the decision not to re-sign Donald. We’re going in a different direction and this move today gives Donald the opportunity to catch on with another team early on in the process. We thank him for his years with our organization and wish him the best in the future.”‘
