Buffalo GM Defends Decision To Not Upgrade QB

May 17, 2014 3:42 AM

Buffalo GM Buddy Nix defended the team's approach for not upgrading the quarterback position. ?Here?s the way we looked at it,? said Nix. ?We?ve got guys physically that can do anything as well as anybody in the draft physically. Throw the ball well, make all the throws, mobile, can move around and are smart. We?ve got guys like that. Now obviously they?ve been kind of inconsistent and up and down, but there are a lot of reasons for that.?

Bills Rookie Makes Chinese History

Nov 28, 2014 3:36 PM

Bills rookie offensive tackle Ed Wang is the first full-blooded Chinese descendant in NFL history. Wang was born and grew up in Northern Virginia, but his parents, George and Nancy, are both native to China. "It's really important to me," he told the Buffalo News. "It means a lot to me that I was able to be the first one to do it, so I took a lot of pride in that." Kailee Wong, former Vikings linebacker, and Pat Chung, a safety drafted last year by the Patriots, are also of some Chinese descent. Buffalo took Wang in the fifth round.

Wilson: Broncos 'Panicked' In Trading Up For Tebow

May 20, 2014 3:07 AM

Bills owner Ralph Wilson says the Broncos "panicked" on Thursday night when they traded back up to take Tim Tebow. Wilson denied rumors that Buffalo was looking to trade back up into the later half of the first round to take Tebow. Denver swung a deal with Baltimore to take Tebow at No. 25, giving up second-, third- and fourth-round picks. "Denver panicked," Wilson said. "He's a good player but we had no interest in taking Tebow. We were not moving up to take Tebow."

Bills May Not Be Interested In Clausen

Apr 29, 2014 3:20 AM

Michael Lombardi of the National Football Post writes that the Bills may not be interested in Notre Dame quarterback Jimmy Clausen. Instead, Buffalo may prefer a more athletic quarterback. "In fact, someone told me that Chan Gailey, while he was offensive coordinator in Miami, was not in favor of Drew Brees as a potential pick because he had Ray Lucas on the roster," Lombardi wrote. "Keep in mind, Gailey has always loved athletic players as evidenced by his style of recruiting while head coach at Georgia Tech."
