Two Bills Drive

Tom Donahoe has stressed he wants to build the Bills around well-rounded athletes that are strong players on the field and strong persons off the field. A seasoned 10-year vet, who's very active in the community, Dave Moore fits this profile.

‘"I can only hope that the next phase of my life will be as enriching as the last 10 years have been for me in Buffalo and with the Bills."’

‘In addition to pursuing a broadcasting career, Reed also is interested in doing some acting. He owns a residence in Los Angeles and has made several contacts in the television and movie business.’

‘The Buffalo Bills are going to win the Super Bowl this October in Buffalo – a year before the rest of the country is able to witness the miracle.’

‘His fate was all but sealed when the Bills spent the fourth overall pick in April’s draft on Texas tackle Mike Williams. They also signed free agent Marcus Price for backup help. Still, Fina leaves without any bitterness.’

‘Fina was the last player on Buffalo’s roster who played on any of the Bills teams that lost four straight Super Bowls from 1991-94.’

‘"I am pleased, proud an honored to have been a part of the Buffalo Bills franchise for the past 10 years and equally proud to have been an employee of Ralph Wilson, a fine and honorable man." said Fina today from his home in Tucson, AZ. "I’ll truly miss living in Buffalo. My family and I have come to love the city and everything about it. The kindness and generosity that has been extended to us by the Buffalo community is something we’ll always cherish and will always lead us to return. It was the place where I enjoyed some of the best times of my life. I can only hope that the next phase of my life will be as enriching as the last 10 years have been for me in Buffalo and with the Bills."’

‘The Bills are estimated to be about $4.7 million under the salary cap, more than enough room to sign their draft picks, including No. 1 choice Mike Williams of Texas, who is will help fill Fina’s spot.’

Fina and Brown didn’t appear on Monday’s waiver wire but their teams announced that they have been released. Officially, he will appear on the Tuesday waivers, which delays his ability to talk to interested teams for a day. Cutting Fina saves $3 million this year but costs $5,693,526 in dead money against 2003 salary cap. Ex-Bill Glenn Parket was going to cut Tuesday but he made it to the office in time to fail a physical. Parker, who may retire from the NFL, was placed on the waiver wire as released-failed physical.

Two NFL sources, one very close to the Eagles, have confirmed for WGR Sportsradio 55 that the Bills and Eagles have had talks. The Bills asking price at this point for Bryson is a day-one draft pick because he’s considered starter material, but the Eagles, who are only looking for a backup to Duce Staley, are offering no more than a fifth round selection right now.

In the golden decade of Bills football, each season was simply super. The players were perfect. No matter what the score or situation, you always had a feeling that the Bills would win.

John Fina has had nothing but good things to say about Buffalo "My family and I have come to love the city and everything about it."

Fina was the last player on the Bills roster who had played on any of the franchise’s four Super Bowl teams.

Jay Riemersma is willing to redo his contract in order to remain with the Bills, but he is not as cool with taking a pay cut to make it happen.
