A week removed from their blockbuster signing of defensive end Mario Williams, the Bills continued their defensive line overhaul, reportedly agreeing to a four year contract with defensive end Mark Anderson (Patriots). There’s no word yet on the exact financials for the deal, but it should be reasonable given Anderson’s average level of production. Anderson, 28, spent [...]

One of the more interesting sidebars of NFL free agency is that players often spend the time before they become available talking at length about enjoying the whole process and seeing what’s available before making a decision.

Over the past two seasons, the Bills have been able to count on wide receiver Stevie Johnson for his ability to produce headlines on the field and off it. All of that could be headed to a different city though if Johnson and Buffalo’s front office can’t find common ground before the start of free agency. [...]

After stops in Buffalo, Cincinnati, and Kansas City, free agent cornerback Stanford Routt is reportedly in the final stages of choosing where he’ll be playing next fall.

While much of the focus around the league has been directed towards the rest of the AFC East, the Bills quietly added a key offensive weapon earlier today, signing free agent wide receiver Brad Smith to a four year deal for $15 million.

Just two weeks removed from being relegated to the bench, Donovan McNabb has expressed a desire to stay the course with the Redskins next season, if he can gain some assurance that he’ll be the team’s starter from head coach Mike Shanahan.

Just a few seasons removed from a stellar start to his career, Shawne Merriman has been relegated to an afterthought around the league, as injuries and off the field issues left him on the outside looking in with the Chargers. But after being picked up on waivers by the Bills, Merriman is ready to get [...]

Late last night, I wrote up a piece discussing Buffalo’s seemingly desperate attempt to drum up interest in running back Marshawn Lynch, who had clearly fallen out of favor with the Bills coaching staff and served no purpose in remaining with the club at this point. I expected Buffalo to continue those efforts right up [...]

For some time now, Buffalo has been the butt of many a joke around the league and often for good reason, given their inability to do much of anything right on or off the field. In spite of that, the Bills players have soldiered on, putting up decent fights against superior teams, aside from the [...]

One of the biggest areas of concern for Green Bay through three games this season is their lack of productivity at running back, as Brandon Jackson and John Kuhn clearly have not been able to provide the same level of play as injured running back Ryan Grant. The Packers apparently do not share in that [...]

Desperate for help at quarterback, Jacksonville has made two separate moves this week to upgrade their depth chart at that position, signing free agent Keith Null to their practice squad and reportedly placing a waiver claim on Trent Edwards, who was recently released by the Bills.

Off to an 0-3 start, Buffalo has been desperate to find any amount of energy to spark their club into the win column, and while their latest move may not pay off dividends on that front, it should send a message to the team that poor play has a price. According to Jason LaCanfora at [...]

On paper this game looks to be a laugher, as Green Bay will be fielding a superior team in almost every aspect tomorrow afternoon at Lambeau Field, but the NFL has always been unpredictable, leaving an opening (albeit a small one) for Buffalo to sneak through to steal this game.
