'While Incognito did not elaborate on what he loves about Wegmans — and some fans gave him grief about the resign vs. re-sign distinction — his fondness for the supermarket is shared by many.'

'But in-between a September hamstring injury and December knee injury that landed him on injured reserve, “Shady” was explosive as any running back in the NFL. He still turned 5-yard losses into 5-yard gains, still possessed a second gear to waste defensive backs at the second level, still was a rare weapon Greg Roman can build a game plan around.'

'Whaley can play the game and posture all he wants, and he can create enough smokescreens to get the attention of fire departments from Buffalo to Rochester. But the most prudent plan for the Bills would be to either stay put at No. 19 and pick one of several highly rated defensive linemen who will be available, or trade down and accrue more picks.'

'That alone helps makes Buffalo one of the most tortured sports fan bases in the country. The history of the two franchises only adds to their agony. So it's not a huge surprise Forbes named Buffalo the most miserable sports city in the country.'

'“Not at all,” Whaley said. “So far they’ve had implicit trust in us, but we’ve got to still keep producing.”'

'Whaley called it "a very, very good possibility," the Bills will draft a quarterback, though he stressed Tyrod Taylor will be the team's starter entering this season. Taylor's future in Buffalo is uncertain beyond that because he has one year left on his contract.'

'Clay joined Howard and Jeremy on Wednesday. Just as most of his teammates were, Clay is happy to be back to work after the team underachieved last year, “There’s no question, after last year’s season where we came in with such high expectations and obviously didn’t meet those goals, I feel like guys want to get back even sooner, so guys are excited.”'

'“To tell you the truth, I’m trying to be the best linebacker,” he said. “I’m tired of hearing about these other casting linebackers because now you’re going to hear about the Buffalo Bills and you’re going to be worrying about these linebackers. The D-line is great; the secondary is great. It’s going to be different, the linebackers are solid… I got a lot of goals and I set the bar high.”'
