Two Bills Drive

‘The Buffalo Bills Wednesday signed free agents Michael Early and Brian Leigeb and released undrafted rookie Randall Cummins.’

As Trent Dilfer stands in the unemployment line, the Buffalo Bills are heading to camp, apparently content that their backup quarterback situation is adequate should injury befall Rob Johnson.

‘"They must have called him five times on Tuesday," Phil Leigeb said.’

‘The Buffalo Bills signed free agent safety Brian Leigeb and center Michael Early yesterday while releasing free agent rookie center Randall Cummins.’

\’Last season he starred for the Buffalo Bills in the U.S. National Football League. On Friday Leif Olve Dolonen Larsen, 26, is one of the main attractions at the track and field festival Bislett Games in Oslo.\’

‘The NFL has yet to make a ruling on Wade Phillips’ contract dispute with the Buffalo Bills.’

‘Members of the Buffalo Bills Alumni Foundation are participating in the second annual Educational/Athletic Camp being held at Buffalo State College on Elmwood Avenue through July 14th.’

‘Tomorrow afternoon at 1:00PM, the Bills/Gatorade Jr. Training Camp will be making its sixth stop on its journey across Western New York at St. Leo’s School (Northeast YMCA) located at 903 Sweet Home Road in Amherst, New York. ‘

‘The Buffalo Bills today announced that the team has signed two free agents- center Michael Early and safety Brian Leigeb. In accordance with club policy terms were not disclosed.’

‘Their host was Buffalo Bills guard Ruben Brown, and they knew a good time was guaranteed.’

But the agents of cornerback Nate Clements, defensive end Aaron Schobel and running back Travis Henry are confident their clients will be under contract when the Bills\’ rookies and veterans begin practice on July 29 at St. John Fisher College in Pittsford.\’

‘The Titans yesterday worked out [Former Bill] Jonathan Linton, another potential reserve running back. ”We’ve seen enough film on him, we know what he can do. We just wanted to visit with him and give him a physical,” Reese said.’

‘Predictions don’t mean much, but they do show that people are taking notice of you. It would be easy to ignore the Bills on the heels of an offseason which they lost some very good players, saw a major turnover of a respected front office team AND hired a new, untested coaching staff installing all new systems in the process.’

The Bills must have a running game to help take the pressure off Rob Johnson, so one of these guys has to win the job. Running by committee isn’t the answer. Likely winner: Henry.

‘Nowhere in the NFL did an average season breed more renovation than Buffalo, where the coaching staff, front office, and depth chart all underwent offseason makeovers. ‘
