Q&A with Doug Whaley from Owners' Meetings - Toronto Sun
"Whaley talked to me about his team's wide-receiver position, whether the team tried to woo QB Michael Vick, whether he's still looking to land a free-agent safety to help replace Jairus Byrd, that linebackers Keith Rivers and Brandon Spikes were "at the top" of his free-agent lists, that their addition gives the Bills potentially a 'very good' linebacker corps (potentially the best since he's been with the team, 2010). Whaley also discussed Texas A&M receiver Mike Evans, whether a prospect's stinky pro day really matters, and he confirmed what I reported last week, that the Bills are meeting this week with McGill University's Laurent Duvernay-Tardif, an offensive-tackle prospect gaining buzz."
