Hello Bills fans.  Today the team announced that they have signed defensive end Derrick Jones.  Jones played for the Falcon last season.  He was an undrafted free agent in 2007 out of Grand Valley State.  The Bills signed Jones to fill in for injured defensive end Copeland Bryan.  The Bills have also placed rookie linebacker Alvin Bowen on the waived/injury list.  Bowen injured his knee in practice and was done for the season.  If he clears waivers he will be added to the injured reserve.  I hope the Bills keep Bowen because I thought he would turn into a solid special teams contributor.  It seems like everyone season we lose someone in training camp.  Lets Go Bills.

Hello Bills fans.  The team has signed two players over the last couple of days.  On Saturday, the team announced that they have signed seven year veteran linebacker Donnie Spragan.  After rookie linebacker Alvin Bowen went down with a new injury, the team needed to add a linebacker.  Spragan worked out for the team a few months back and will be called upon to back up the weakside linebacker position.  The team announced today that they have signed rookie wide receiver CJ Hawthorne.  CJ started for Hawaii in 2007 and caught 61 passes for 859 yards.  CJ will be competing for a slot receiver position. 

Donte Whitner will have an MRI on his ankle as per Coach Dick Jauron.  Whitner might have injured the ankle on Saturday and could not give it a go today.  I hope this is minor because he is one of our leaders.  We need Donte out there and hopefully with a little more rest, the ankle will be 100%.  Wide receiver Josh Reed was held out of practice with a lower back problem.  The team is not going to take a chance because Reed had back surgery this offseason.  Reed has had a great offseason and will be relied upon this year out of the slot receiver position.  Check out the article on both players at buffalobills.com.  Go Bills.

Hello Bills fans.  The team announced today that they have reached a contract agreement with fifth round pick linebacker Alvin Bowen.  Bowen was a tackling machine at Iowa State and will most likely be a backup and special teams player.  Bowen will be a great asset on special teams because of his aggressiveness.  Their are still four picks that havent signed yet.  First Round pick Leodis McKelvin, second round pick James Hardy, third round pick Chris Ellis, and sixth round pick Xavier Omon.  Look for Omon to sign tomorrow and Ellis to follow shortly after.  I expect McKelvin and Hardy to sign Friday.  Check out the article on buffalobills.com.  Go Bills.

Hello Bills fans.  I can’t believe training camp is only five days away.  The only concern I have at this time is that there are still five draft picks unsigned.  Leodis McKelvin, James Hardy, Chris Ellis, Alvin Bowen and Xavier Omon.  I believe Ellis, Bowen and Omon will get signed within the next few days.  McKelvin and Hardy will be more difficult and might miss the beginning of training camp.  The team needs both guys there from day one to learn from the veterans on the team.  Both McKelvin and Hardy will be relied upon to contribute from the start.  I feel that Hardy is the one that we need to have in our starting lineup from week one.  Hardy has the height and ball skills to help this offense in the redzone.  The team needs Hardy to take pressure off of star wide receiver Lee Evans.  If Hardy can develop into a solid threat, look for Evans to have a monster season.  McKelvin will most likely be the nickel corner unless he has a tremendous camp.  Terrence McGee and Jabari Greer are solid and are more than capable starters.  Lets hope everyone is signed and in camp on Friday.
