‘The Bills want a first-round pick as part of a package in exchange for Price, but the Falcons may not be willing to part with the No. 23 choice. ”Let’s not assume we don’t have any interest in having our first-round draft choice,” Anderson said a few days ago.’

Bengals tackle Thornton
With Raiders DT Sam Adams still unable to get what he thinks is a satisfactory offer over the long term from Cincinnati, he is set Thursday to visit Buffalo, the city, where ironically comes the buzz that the Bills could be prepping an offer sheet for Bengals LB Takeo Spikes in the next week.
Mike Doser: Spikes would inject more attitude
Weakside LB Takeo Spikes would add some serious swagger to the Bills’ defense. He’s emotional, intense and outgoing. He’s not one of those players who leads by example.
Spikes leads with his mouth AND by example

Cap Class Sends Media Back to School
When it was over, Tom Donahoe said he felt like a teacher once again, right down to the blank stares he used to see on many students' faces.
"You just know that everybody is saying, 'What did he say?'" the Buffalo Bills president/general manager said with a sheepish green as he stepped down from the platform in the media room at the team's training facility.

Focus on Free Agents - Donahoe Gives Update
Looking into Takeo Spikes
"We have not made an offer, but we do have some interest in him. We have had some discussions with his agent and we are in the process of trying to set up a visit for him to come in and meet our coaches and take a look at our football team.
Bills still hunting LBs as Peterson pays a visit
‘Peterson is attracting a lot attention on the free agent market. He visited with St. Louis over the weekend and has a meeting scheduled with Detroit this week. Cleveland reportedly also has some interest.’
Getting a big lift
‘Joe D’s workout includes 1,000 push-ups (in sets of 200) and 30 minutes of jumping rope (usually in two 15-minute sets). As any boxer will tell you, that wouldn’t be shabby for a man half Joe D’s age. ("I could easily do 30 minutes at a time," he said, apologetically.)’
Talks with Adams gain momentum
‘The Buffalo Bills’ pursuit of some big-name defensive free agents is heating up, with general manager Tom Donahoe formally acknowledging his interest in Sam Adams, Mike Peterson and Takeo Spikes on Monday.’
Free agent signings might breathe new life into Bills
‘I spent much of Friday evening logged onto the Web site, TwoBillsDrive.com. On their message board, posters were rattling off a litany of potential free agent signings and the probability of each one happening.’
Foreman remains a Texan
‘Foreman and Keith Newman were once roommates on road trips as members of the Buffalo Bills and might be reunited. Newman was impressed after a visit to Reliant Park on Monday. The Texans are in search of a starting right outside linebacker after Jeff Posey signed a four-year deal with Buffalo last week, and Newman is one of their top targets. Newman, 26, spent the past four seasons in Buffalo, which used a 3-4 defense during his first two years in the league.’
Blank sells Hall on Falcons
The Falcons spoke briefly with the Buffalo Bills about the possibility of a trade for wide receiver Peerless Price, whom the Bills have labeled a franchise player. It was the first discussion with the Bills since Price’s visit to Flowery Branch on Saturday.
Falcons executive vice president Ray Anderson described the conversation as "uneventful" but was hopeful for future talks.
Addition of Rob Johnson is questionable move by Washington
But I just can’t get past the fact that Rob Johnson is still, well, Rob Johnson.
This is the guy who took 80 sacks during his 20-game stint with the Bills. He took 19 sacks in six appearances with the Bucs last season and has thrown just eight more TDs than interceptions in his career. He has never been anything special in the NFL and considering the schizophrenic nature of the Redskins’ QB situation over the past year, there’s a good chance that Johnson will get to see the field at some point.
Falcons trade linebacker Simoneau to Eagles
ESPN.com has learned that the Falcons actually pitched Simoneau to the Buffalo Bills last week as part of the teams’ discussions about a trade that would bring wide receiver Peerless Price to the Falcons.
