"Well, those factors do impact our decision," Gailey told Buffalobills.com. "They give us more wiggle room. Both Fred and C.J. have shown they can split out wide and be effective lined up as receivers, and we saw what Brad could do last year when pressed into that role.

Inside The Bills | Players like new camp rules
"We love it," said team player rep George Wilson. "Anybody that was here under the old CBA and go through the days of two-a-days and back-to-back two-a-days knows how valuable those changes have been. For a lot of older players it can allow them to extend their careers. A lot of younger players it keeps them healthy longer at a younger age. So I really think it’s going to benefit the players and the owners because your money makers are going to continue to be healthy."

WGR 550 - Final Night Practice In The Books For Bills
"It's a little bit different," head coach Chan Gailey said about the new rules. "We can only practice once a day. There's no such thing as a two-a-day anymore, so it's a little unique.

The tight end has been one of the best players at camp in the three weeks they've been in Pittsford, so I had to do a double-take when I saw it happen. He's made tough catch after tough catch for the first-team offense. I think he deserves a pass for his one mental lapse."
