Two Bills Drive

‘Reed, selected 36th in last April’s draft, signed a reported four-year deal worth close to $3.5 million.’

‘Linta said the surgery, which will be performed in Pittsburgh, is relatively minor, and Dinkins could rejoin the Bills within two months.’

‘With Johnson in Tampa Bay, and Flutie entering his second season in San Diego, the Bills gear up for a new type of camp, one that doesn’t feature any hint of the divisive Johnson-vs.-Flutie feud that clouded the team the previous four years.’

Rookies and selected veterans were on the field for a pair of practices on Thursday, July 25 to officially open the 2002 Buffalo Bills Bausch & Lomb Training Camp at St. John Fisher College.

Effectiveness of Wide Receiver Tandem:

I look for them to be among the best in the league as a tandem of outside receivers. They are both extremely talented guys with good speed and size and can catch the ball very well. Peerless (Price) is a very precise route runner, while Eric (Moulds) is explosive after he catches the ball and very hard to tackle.

‘Reed, last year’s Biletnikoff award winner as the nation’s top wide receiver, earned a reputation at LSU as an aggressive receiver in traffic. He was the 36th player selected in the draft.’

Reed signs with Bills. Also reports that Reggie Germany was waived after failing a physical. If that’s the case, it may be the first surprise of the year.

The Bills have agreed to terms with second-round draft choice WR Josh Reed. Additionally, the Bills this morning announced several other roster moves.

Reggie Germany was one of the selected veterans in early at Bills training camp Wednesday. The main reason is Germany is still rehabbing his left knee from surgery he had performed in June. “I’ll be on PUP. to start.” the second year WR explained. “I had microfracture surgery on the knee.” He said.

WGR Radio reports Josh Reed signed and will be in camp – no link yet.

‘The Bills continue to negotiate with the agents for first-round pick Mike Williams and second-rounders Josh Reed and Ryan Denney.’

‘The News will begin a Training Camp Billboard to run each day the team practices. The Billboard, which begins Friday, will appear in addition to the usual Bills coverage.’

‘"I think from Mr. Wilson all the way down to the rookies, I think there is an excitement here and hopefully we’ll build on that," offensive guard Jerry Ostroski said.’

‘"I think I learned some lessons, too," says Williams, a former high school coach who spent 12 years as an NFL assistant before landing the job he spent a lifetime preparing for. "I learned when to put the metal to floor and when to ease off the accelerator. In the same way that we evaluate the players, I evaluated myself. There are some things I’ll do differently. But I think a lot of what we put in place was right. I think we laid a pretty good foundation."’

‘The Bills will conduct two Monday evening practices at training camp — July 29 and Aug. 5. All tickets for these practices have already been distributed.’

‘Dinkins, who was a college quarterback, spent last season on the Bills’ practice squad as a running back and defensive back before playing in NFL Europe with Amsterdam. He was hospitalized in Germany after a game because of dizziness, but doctors struggled to diagnose his problem. Doctors recently found a defect in his heart that will need arthroscopic surgery to repair. He will be out of action for six-to-eight weeks.’
