'McGeoghan joins the Bills from the college ranks, having spent the past two seasons with East Carolina University, coaching receivers.'

'Jason La Canfora reported that team and league sources confirmed the interest. The report also states that Romo might be out of reach for the Bills because the 36-year-old quarterback has higher interest in playing for the Houston Texans, Denver Broncos, Arizona Cardinals, and Kansas City Chiefs.'

'There are many issues with this idea, though. At the top of the list: Would Romo want to come to Buffalo? There's a new coaching staff and a wacky front office situation. The team has some weapons on offense, led by running back LeSean McCoy.'

'McGeoghan takes over a potentially depleted group of wide receivers, with Sammy Watkins coming off a second operation on his left foot, and Robert Woods and Marquise Goodwin eligible to become unrestricted free agents next month.'

'Egorugwu was hired to be the Bills' defensive quality control coach after spending the past two seasons as a defensive staff assistant with the Baltimore Ravens. Egorugwu worked with linebackers coach Don Martindale in his time in Baltimore.'

'A report from CBS’ Jason La Canfora, citing both team and league sources, says the Bills have "significant interest" in Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo this offseason, but acknowledges that might be a tough sell because Romo would prefer to go to either the Texans, Broncos, Cardinals, or Chiefs.'

'Bringing in the soon-to-be 37-year old quarterback is good for the next year or two, but that's more of a band-aid on the franchise. It would afford them the opportunity to take a quarterback in the first two rounds, develop that player, and hope they are the answer for the long-term.'

'The Buffalo Bills announced today that five coaches have been added to the team’s staff – Phil McGeoghan, John Egorugwu, Marc Lubick, Matt Smiley and Bill Teerlinck.'

'The anthem music was played in 4/4 time, slower than the typical 3/4 time. The aim was to make Houston’s rendition more soulful.'

'Ryan got by on his reputation from back-to-back AFC Championship Game appearances with the Jets for far too long. The idea that he would be “open” to going back to New York, as he told the Daily News, is laughable.'

'We didn’t know it at the time, but as we awoke on Feb. 1, 1997, the Bills were about to take their first steps toward one of the darkest periods the now 58-year-old franchise has ever endured, a one from which it remains inexorably ensconced.'

'Why would any NFL owner give this babbling fool another chance to be a head coach? If there was a Super Bowl for excuses, Rex would be champion.'

'That's why she can't understand the recent class action lawsuit filed against the NFL by a group of NFL cheerleaders. The suit demands higher wages and better working conditions. “When you signed up to cheer, you knew you were not going to get paid. So, to go back and say I should get paid seems frivolous to me.” “You choose to go to the tryout,” said Kimberly Zak who was a Jill from 1996 to 2000. “Nobody forces you. And, you tryout and it's a difficult tryout. So, then you make the team, but again it's your choice. Nobody's forcing you to do it.”'

'“When I think about a Luke Kuechly, or Thomas Davis or myself — some of those top leaders, anybody that understands this game that you could call upon to help lead your team — he’ll say, ‘Is there something we need or don’t need in this game plan, something we need to change or modify,’” Coleman told the Sun. “He’s really receptive to changing things, so we can play better, play faster and be more efficient.”'

'“He played quarterback so he always wanted to get back to doing that,” Reid told Buffalobills.com. “He was always involved in our pass game all the time. He’d set it up with me and present it to the players. He’s done installs. He’s done everything. I looked at him like another coordinator.”'
