‘According to a league source, Sanborn’s new contract is a three-year extension that will pay a total of $3.3 million over the lifetime of the deal. The three years are tacked on to the final year of his current contract, so he’s not set to hit free agency again until March of 2018.’

‘According to two separate reports, guard Kraig Urbik and wide receiver T.J. Graham are being shopped by the Bills.’

‘Palmer, who joined the Bills after he was let go by the Chicago Bears, did not last a week in Buffalo.’

‘The Bills announced the release of 10 players and the placement of three players on to Injured Reserve. The roster is currently at 62, and subtracting one spot for Bradham, they’ll need to cut eight more players by Saturday afternoon.’

‘The Bills’ quarterback position is nearly one of the worst in the league in terms of depth. Thad Lewis was a disappointment in the summer, Jeff Tuel hasn’t taken the next step the Bills were hoping for and Jordan Palmer didn’t show the necessary arm strength against backups to prove he was worthy of a roster spot. Even though the Bills might only keep two quarterbacks initially, don’t expect only Manuel and Tuel to make up this roster. There has to be an additional move coming, they can’t go into the season with their current trio, or in this case, duo.’

‘Sanborn has been the team’s primary long snapper for the past five seasons. The 6-1, 240-pound Florida State product has played in all 80 games since 2009.’

‘LB Xavius Boyd, DT Landon Cohen, TE Dominique Jones, CB Kamaal McIlwain, CB Sam Miller, P Brian Moorman, QB Jordan Palmer, FB Evan Rodriguez, WR Naaman Roosevelt, OL Jared Wheeler.’

‘We didn’t only meet great fans; we met great people.’
