Two Bills Drive

‘Fisher has 500 freshmen enrolled for the upcoming school year, 100 more than the previous high. Rooney stresses that the Bills camp was not the only factor in the increase, but he believes that the camp helped to promote the school to some students. They came to see the Bills; they saw the campus; they applied.’

‘"He thinks he is a running back … and you’re looking for a guy who, if he comes in, you don’t really have to change what you do," general manager Floyd Reese said. "But I’m not sure he’s not a better blocker than he is a runner."’

‘The Tennessee Titans have agreed on a one-year contract with former Buffalo Bills running back Jonathan Linton.’

‘Each evening session will begin at 7 with a 25-minute autograph session with the Bills’ players and coaches will sign autographs. The practices will run from 7:30-9:15.’

‘Dave Pasch, the radio voice of Syracuse University football and basketball for the past two seasons, has been drafted by the Bills to do some television work this summer. Pasch will do the play-by-play alongside analyst Steve Tasker on the two Bills preseason games that will be televised in August by WNYO-TV, Channel 49.’

‘The evening practices, scheduled for July 30 and August 6 at Fisher’s Growney Stadium, are free, but fans must pick up a ticket at any area Wegmans.’

‘"I guess I’m going to have to make some new friends," Linton said. "But that’s great. I’m looking forward to it."’

‘"From what our people feel about him is that he can play running back, fullback, special teams and can do a lot of things and has had success in the league," Titans President Jeff Diamond said. "It’s good to have that veteran type of experience."’

‘He has rushed for 1,002 yards and six touchdowns, and caught 33 passes for 246 yards and two touchdowns during his NFL career.’

‘Seeking to find a backup to Eddie George since Rodney Thomas defected to Atlanta, the Tennessee Titans on Friday agreed to terms with running back Jonathan Linton on a one-year contract.’

NOTE: Earlier ESPN reported Linton signed for a 6 year deal The Titans reached agreement with former Buffalo Bills running back Jonathan Linton on Friday for a one-year deal at the NFL minimum. If he hits certain incentives, Linton can reach $625,000 for the season.

‘A few statements about Holecek and, better yet, some bad mouthing of Jimmy Johnson. Further down are some comments about Holecek and Sam Cowart, and some information about the possible starting weakside LB.’

The Tennessee Titans have found their backup to running back Eddie George.

The Titans signed former Buffalo Bills running back Jonathan Linton on Friday to a six-year contract worth $3.7 million including a $1.5 million signing bonus.

Linton’s deal can be voided after five years. He is scheduled to make $209,000 his first season, $298,000 his second, $389,000 his third, $418,000 his fourth, $448,000 his fifth and $477,000 his sixth.

No more last-minute changes. No more peering over his shoulder for the dreaded hook. No more QB controversy.

NFL training camps open today for the Falcons and Steelers. Johnson leaves his Laguna Beach home for Bills camp Tuesday. He already feels more comfortable.

"It’s a nice change," Johnson said.
