'"I believe the charges are factually and legally inappropriate," Washington's attorney, Clyde Bennett, told ESPN. "I don't believe that Mr. Washington committed any crimes. That is why we have filed a motion to dismiss. Our intent and plan is to have the charges against him dismissed."'

'“Hopefully the new regime, the new culture, the new way of doing things — what you'd like to see is for Marcell to jump on board,” Beane said. “And not only do it himself, but he's been in the league long enough, you'd like to see him grabbing some others. First of all, before you can lead, you have to do it yourself. I'm not just talking about Marcell. That's anybody."'

'Whether it's related or not to Washington, the Bills had three defensive tackles in for a visit on Monday in Devon Still, Leger Douzable, and Roy Miller.'

'There's no debate: Tyrod Taylor is the unquestioned starter heading into 2017. But it is fair to question what a potential signing could mean for Cardale Jones and Nathan Peterman.'

'While Boldin's production in terms of yards were the lowest of his career (584 yards) he remained one of the most reliable receivers in the red zone with six of his eight touchdowns coming inside the 20, which ranked tied for ninth among the position.'

'Now, a 4-12 record could be music to Bills fan's ears, especially considering the club owns two first round picks in the 2018 draft.'

'Washington's lawyer Clyde Bennett told 7 Eyewitness Sports Reporter Nick Filipowski the charges against his client are "factually and legally inappropriate" and that he's filed a motion to dismiss the case.'

'Despite being a 14-year vet, Boldin proved durable last season. He appeared in all 16 games and was on the field for 80 percent of the Lions’ snaps on offense.'

'“He’s a playmaker,” said fellow back Jonathan Williams. “He’s not just a running back. He can run the ball between the tackles. He can run outside. He can line up outside and threaten a defense there. It’s just about matchups. How can you create a matchup?"'

'“We’ll set something up during the season that I think Sean and I talked about a little bit depending on what they’ve got going on and where they’re at,” said Beane. “If they haven’t been in town for the week, we’ll set up a call to talk about how the week went and a little about the opponent and what to expect in the game based on who we have available injury-wise and what’s going on versus them. Anything that could be changing roster-wise (will also be communicated), but Terry and Kim are better than I realized the day I signed up. That’s the God’s honest truth.'
