Commissioner Roger Goodell was expected to announce plans Friday for the Bills to play an annual regular-season game in Toronto starting this year, according to an Associated Press report. The announcement, to come during Goodell's State of the League Address, would make the Bills the first team to play annual regular-season NFL games outside the US.

The NFL has suspended Bills DE Anthony Hargrove without pay for all of the next season, after violating the substance abuse policy for a third time. This is Hargrove's second violation since August 2007, when he was suspended for the Bills' first four games. A third violation brings an automatic one-year suspension, and Hargrove must apply to Roger Goodell for possible reinstatement.

Chris Mortensen of ESPN is reporting that the Bills almost certainly will get a regular-season game approved for Toronto. Because of Buffalo's close proximity to Canada, the Bills hope the game widens their fan base. Bills' owner Ralph Wilson Jr. had petitioned the league in order to receive permission to play the game in Toronto and a source indicates that it will be approved.

Turk Schonert, entering his sixth season as a Bills' assistant coach, was named the team's offensive coordinator on Wednesday. Schonert was promoted after spending two seasons as the Bills' Quarterbacks' Coach. A former quarterback in the NFL for nine seasons with the Bengals and Falcons, Schonert replaces Steve Fairchild, who left the Bills at the end of the season to take the head coaching job at Colorado State.

Buffalo Bills' owner Ralph Wilson will stay in-house to fill its top front-office vacancy, ESPN.com has learned through multiple league and team sources, and Bills' executive vice president of business operations Russ Brandon has emerged as the frontrunner. The opening was created when Marv Levy stepped down as general manager two weeks ago. A Hall of Fame coach who led the Bills to four straight Super Bowl appearances, Levy had come out of retirement two years ago to serve as the Bills' general manager. The team likely will announce Levy's successor next week. Brandon has worked for the Bills for 11 years and in 2006 was appointed to his current position in which he joined Levy in overseeing the club's front-office operations.

Bills quarterback J.P. Losman wants out of Buffalo, unhappy with how he lost his starting job to rookie Trent Edwards this past season. Losman's agent, Gary Wichard, told The Associated Press on Friday that his client would prefer to be traded, but added Losman would play out the final year of his contract if necessary. Wichard said he has not yet spoken to the Bills because the team is seeking a new GM after Marv Levy stepped down earlier this week. Whether the Bills choose to keep Losman, Wichard said he didn't see any chance of Losman remaining with the team after next season.
