Bruce Smith on Bills’ pursuing franchise QB: ‘It’s about time’

‘”I think we’ve made some poor decisions in the past (with) acquisitions, not investing in probably the most important position on the team,” the Hall of Fame defensive end told The Buffalo News while in town for Kelly’s annual celebrity golf tournament Monday. “Obviously, second, I’m a little biased to it, is pass-rusher. So I think it’s about time.”‘

Bruce Smith tempers hype over fellow former Virginia Tech standout Tremaine Edmunds

‘”I don’t want to set this young man up for failure, setting expectations so high,” Smith said at a party at the Adam’s Mark Hotel for Jim Kelly’s annual celebrity golf tournament. “You’ve got to remember, this young man’s only 20 years old. And, obviously, this is a man’s sport. Having said that, being coached properly, being in the right system, this young man can be very effective very early. So that’s what’s critical.’

Slimmed-down Eric Wood satisfied with terms of Bills exit

‘Wood said Sunday night that he and the Bills reached a “mutual decision” that it would be best for him to be released before June 1, so that the balance of is contract – which had been extended through 2019 – would count against the team’s salary cap this year rather than next year.’

Jim Kelly to receive Jimmy V award at ESPYs

‘“Jim Kelly truly epitomizes perseverance,” Alison Overholt, the vice president and editor in chief, ESPN The Magazine, espnW, and The ESPYS said in the same release. “We are honored to give him the Jimmy V Award for Perseverance this year as he embodies the determination, strength of character, and spirit of the award.”’

Hall of Famer Bruce Smith is fan of Bills rookie Tremaine Edmunds

‘Smith is well-acquainted with the Edmunds family. Tremaine’s father, Ferrell, played tight end for the Miami Dolphins in the late 1980s and early ’90s when the Bills-Dolphins rivalry was at its peak. Also, Bruce’s son, Alton, was college roommates at Virginia Tech for one year with Tremaine’s older brother, Trey, who now plays running back for the New Orleans Saints.’

Down 55 pounds since February, former Bills center Eric Wood ponders life after the NFL

‘“Down a few pounds, body feels good,” Wood said before he headed out to play in the tournament. “Can’t play ball, which stinks, and I miss it, and there’s been times this spring where I’ve seen pictures posted and you think, ‘That’s my team,’ but it’s all good.”’

Jim Kelly spills the beans, announces he is winning the Jimmy V award at the ESPYs

‘Given his very public battle with oral cancer, which continues on after cancer returned to his jaw earlier this spring, Kelly checks all the boxes for the criteria of the award. He just jumped the gun a bit on announcing that fact.’

Buffalo Bills will be in shouting range of the first-overall pick, says Jason La Canfora

‘The Bills are probably going to start AJ McCarron and they are very much playing for the future. I suspect the Bills will be in shouting range of the first-overall pick when it’s all said and done, which won’t be a bad thing for their continued rebuild. In the meantime, they have lost 60 percent of the offensive line, the run game might not be nearly as robust, the defense has lots of holes, still, and they don’t have playmakers on offense. Baltimore is a solid-enough team with the coach and QB playing for their future there, and the receivers are upgraded from a year ago. Joe Flacco is finally healthy again and plenty motivated, and the Ravens at home early in the season are usually a safe bet.’

Jim Kelly says he will receive Jimmy V Award at 2018 ESPYs

‘It still hurts Kelly to speak for too long and he’s still not eating solid food. But he addressed the crowd at his tournament and even spoke to reporters for a few minutes. This latest battle with cancer has been tough on him, but he doesn’t even get down about it. In fact, the courage he’s shown will be awarded at the ESPYs next month when he will receive the Jimmy V Award for perseverance and determination. ESPN hasn’t confirmed that Kelly will receive the award only that he’s a finalist. They are expected to confirm the news later on Monday.’

Historic Jim Kelly Classic Golf Tournament at Terry Hills as former Buffalo Bills QB announces ESPN award and celebrities come out to honor him

‘“Batavia has been awesome, to have my golf tournaments here at Terry Hills, is a life-saver,” Kelly told the Daily News after cutting the ribbon on a new foot bridge on the course. “By having it here it has made us probably an extra $50,000 to $75,000 by having as many people as we have here. We are trying to talk them into having nine more holes because we are selling so many foursomes with five people.”’

Bills center Eric Wood still adjusting to retirement

‘”The body feels good. Can’t play ball, which stinks. And I miss it,” he added. “There’s been a lot of times this spring where I’ve seen pictures posted and you think, ‘Well, that’s my team.”

Jim Kelly to receive Jimmy V Award for battling cancer

‘”The good Lord has put me in this situation to help not only the people out there who are suffering from cancer, but little kids, too, who are going through tough times to never give up, to keep fighting, because you never know,” Kelly said.’

Jim Kelly to be honored with Jimmy V Award for Perseverance at ESPYS

‘”As people out there know, when you have cancer, you never know what tomorrow holds,” he said Monday. “When I was diagnosed for the first time, it scares you. Second time, even more. Third time, I don’t even worry anymore. It is what it is. If it comes back, it comes back.”‘

Wood happy to have retirement situation resolved

‘“A lot of it was just the timing for the team and letting them just figure out exactly how they wanted to handle it all, and I was fine with it and told them, ‘I won’t be sensitive about it,” Wood told the media prior to Jim Kelly’s 32nd annual Celebrity Golf Classic. “Now, it became a delayed process which kind of stunk, but it all worked out.”’

Jim Kelly to receive the Jimmy V Award at the ESPYs

‘Kelly will be the second former Buffalo Bills player to receiver the Jimmy V award for perseverance and determination. Former tight end Kevin Everett, who was paralyzed from the neck down in a game in 2007, received it in 2008.’
