NFL prospect Cam Newton will meet with the Bills on Tuesday. Buffalo coach Chan Gailey confirmed the pre-draft visit, which will be the fourth or fifth time the former Auburn quarterback has met with the Bills. The team holds the third pick in the NFL Draft. "These visits have a big impact on what we think and what we do and what we believe about the guys that we plan to draft," Gailey said. "I don't know if I can find it out in a day with a guy, but you'll have a better idea once you get a chance to sit down and talk football and maybe watch some tape. I think you get a better feel."

Alabama defensive tackle Marcell Dareus will visit the Bills this week, in addition to six other teams, according to a source. Dareus has meetings scheduled with seven teams picking in the Top 10, including the Broncos, who have the second overall pick. The Browns, 49ers, Panthers, Redskins and Titans will also sit down with the defensive tackle.

Aaron Maybin hasn't been the force the Bills thought they drafted two years ago. Buffalo coach Chan Gailey made some candid comments about the linebacker, a first-round pick in 2009, recently. Gailey said Maybin "hasn't shown it in practice or in games," illustrated by his zero sacks in two seasons. The coach clarified the statement by saying "I don't want anybody to think he doesn't work at it."

The Miami Dolphins will hold a private workout with Auburn quarterback Cam Newton this weekend, a source with knowledge of the situation said Wednesday. Following his workout with Miami's staff, the 2010 Heisman Trophy winner will travel to Buffalo for interviews with the Bills' brass, according to the source.

Some members of the Bills are already coordinating private workouts away from the team's practice facility. The team organized seven-on-seven workouts via Twitter just hours after the NFLPA decertified on Friday and a lockout neared. Per the terms of the lockout, NFL players are no longer welcome at team facilities.

The two teams that appear most interested in Cam Newton are the Bills and Vikings. Buffalo coach Chan Gailey loves SEC players and helped turn Kordell Stewart into a star. As for Minnesota, they found Newton charismatic in their talks with him at the combine.

Cam Newton and his agents had dinner with Bills executives on the eve of his compelling pro day workout on Tuesday at Auburn. The meeting confirms that Buffalo may have more than just a passing interest in Newton. The Bills have the third overall pick in next month's NFL Draft.

Bills wide receiver Steve Johnson supports Ryan Fitzpatrick as the team's quarterback next season. Buffalo is looking closely at this year's crop of rookie quarterbacks and they will attend Cam Newton's Auburn pro day. "I'm with Fitz 100 percent," Johnson said. He had 82 receptions for 1,073 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2010. "After seeing what he did and playing with him last season, it comes down to loyalty with me and loyalty to the team," Johnson said. "I mean, why wouldn't you stick with the guy who pretty much got the ball rolling? "If we were to take Cam Newton, I wouldn't say it was a negative or be worried with Fitz. If they was to get Cam Newton, I think that could be good, I guess, for the future or if something were to happen to Fitz. "But I'm rolling with Fitz either way it goes."

The Bills have tendered contracts to potential free agents safety Donte Whitner and linebacker Paul Posluszny. The move secures Buffalo's rights on the players, although the expiration of the current collective bargaining agreement on Thursday could alter that. Scott Chandler, a tight end, was also tendered a contract by the Bills on Tuesday.
