Two Bills Drive

‘Sadly, Doug will be working his magic elsewhere, while the Bills pin their hopes on a quarterback whose potential no longer seems unlimited.’

‘When Wade Phillips introduced Rob Johnson three years ago as quarterback of the Buffalo Bills he said he hoped it would be the start of the Rob Johnson-Wade Phillips era. Well, on Wednesday night, Feb. 28 the Johnson era really and belatedly began as general manager and president Tom Donahoe …’

"There is no more controversy," Williams said. "The locker room is unified."

‘First of all, the word has always been that the Bills’ players preferred Johnson at quarterback.’

‘Donahoe said last week that the one quarterback who remains probably will have to restructure his contract to accommodate the team’s tight cap status. Flutie has a 2001 cap value of $7.753 million and Johnson of $8.292 million.’

‘After weeks of internal debate on the merits of their two quarterbacks, the Bills have decided in favor of Rob Johnson. The team will officially announce the decision to retain Johnson at a 7 p.m. EST news conference at the team complex.’

‘The Bills were forced to make a decision mostly for salary-cap reasons as they had to cut almost $8 million off their payroll in time for Thursday’s 4 p.m. deadline.’

‘One day after saying goodbye to Thurman Thomas Tuesday, the Buffalo Bills looked towards the future in retaining quarterback Rob Johnson as the team’s starting quarterback in 2001. With the large amount of money the team’s two quarterbacks would count when the salary cap numbers are enforced Thursday evening, the Bills decided they could only keep one of their two quarterbacks. After an exhaustive review of film, interviews with other players and coaches, and thought to the future direction of the club, the Bills retained the younger Johnson.’

Now that Johnson is the man in Buffalo, head over to the Stadium Wall message board and tell us what you think of the decision! (If you were reading the Wall last night you would have had this information before ANYONE on the internet!).

‘Multiple media sources are reporting that a press conference will be held at 7:00 pm to announce that Rob Johnson has survived his battle for the starting quarterback position for the Buffalo Bills.’

‘If the Dolphins don’t want him, why would we?’

‘No explanation necessary…’

‘Pro Bowl defensive tackle Ted Washington, released last week in a salary cap move by the Buffalo Bills, will meet with Bengals coaches and officials Monday at Paul Brown Stadium.’

‘If the 6-foot-5, 340-pound Washington does not immediately sign with Seattle, he plans to visit the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday. No other visits have been arranged, although Cleveland is another possibility.’
