Bills QB options may come from within - WIVB.com
Channel 4 asked Nix how he wants to address the QB position and when asked point blank about the current three QBs had this to say: "Our priority is to make one (a quarterback) out of the three we've got," Nix told us. "If that's impossible, then we'll look in another direction. We'd like to, yes. They're ours."
Source: Campbell-to-Bills rumors bogus - ESPN.com - AFC East Blog
"Matt Mosley picked up the phone and learned, from an unnamed league source, the Redskins have assured Campbell the rumor is bogus. Unless another team blows the Skins away with a trade offer, I think Campbell will be back in 2010."
BillBoard: Nix on Kyle
"Kyle Williams is an exception. You want to say 6-2, 6-3, 340 (at nose tackle). But there’s always exceptions to the measurables, and he’s one of them. He’s a playmaker. He’ll make plays at nose for us."
Schobel Update - Inside the Bills
"Chan has talked to him," Nix told Buffalobills.com. "The ball is in his court. If he wants to play we certainly want him back. If he wants to retire we wish him the best."

Gailey and Nix discuss NFL combine - WIVB.com
"The one-on-one time we have with these guys is invaluable to try to get to know them and how much football they know. Put them at the chalkboard, put film on, and say, 'What did you do? What were you thinking? What was your rules?' And does he understand the game or does he just following a rule and doing steps like he was taught to do," said Gailey. There are a pair of videos to go along with the story as well.

Davis, Bulaga top choices for Buffalo Bills' No. 1 pick - Rochester D&C
In his survey of 25 mock drafts, Bob Matthews found these results: Anthony Davis 8, Bryan Bulaga 6, Sam Bradford 5, Jimmy Clausen 2, Russell Okung 2, Dan Williams 1, Rolando McClain 1.
John Clayton Mailbag - ESPN
"You might not want to hear this, but I'd take Jimmy Clausen if he's available at the ninth pick. If the Bills don't believe in Trent Edwards -- which apparently they don't -- they have to move on and get the next quarterback. After that, though, they need to address the offensive line. [If they can't get Clausen...] It wouldn't be a bad idea to do what the Jaguars did last year and draft two tackles. Sure, the Bills drafted and started two guards last year, but they need to revamp the offensive line."
Bills Team News
Gailey on Lynch - Inside the Bills
"Marshawn is an excellent football player," said Gailey. "The guy made All-Pro a couple of years ago. He’s extremely talented, can catch the ball, can run it, can run with power, can get on the edge. He’s a very good footbvall player. I hope we are able to take him and use him and we’re fortunate to have a couple of guys that are good football players at that position. We need to build off of them."

Kyle Williams will remain a Bill, but Lynch? - AFC East Blog - ESPN
"So there's a spot for Williams on the Bills' roster? 'Oh, yeah,' Gailey replied with conviction." Gailey went on to say he hasn't met Marshawn yet so he doesn't know about Lynch's character concerns (which I personally fell is bogus).
Gailey has something to prove - Gainesville.com
Chan Gailey shares what he did last football season after he was fired in KC. Pretty light-hearted if you ask me but one line sticks out to me and the author: "It was a total surprise," Gailey said of his firing. "I was just trying to do my job. I feel like I have something to prove."
A trade that would make sense: Williams to New Orleans - Buffalo Sports Daily
"The Bills should trade Kyle Williams to the New Orleans Saints for OT Jammal Brown. It doesn’t take a genius to know the Bills need big time help and any of the three Saints tackles would be major upgrades over what resides on the current roster."
