Receiver David Nelson sees no reason why the Buffalo Bills can't be one of the NFL's most productive offenses this season. In beginning to shed their adopted ''No-Name'' label last season, the Bills' collection of castoffs and journeymen showed signs of a spark in helping the team get off to a surprising 5-2 start before unraveling en route to a 6-10 finish. With a little more consistency and a few less injuries, Nelson believes they're capable of taking the next step and proving it over a 16-game schedule this year. Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick called the offense finishing in the top 10 a legitimate goal. Expectations are high as the Bills wrapped up a three-day mandatory minicamp Thursday. Next up is training camp, which opens in Rochester on July 26.

Buffalo Bills: T.J. Graham Impressing at Minicamp

One day of Bills minicamp down and though we've been hearing about Mark Anderson's dominant play in 11-on-11 drills (he caused numerous incompletions stampeding into the backfield), as well as Steve Johnson's return (he ran routes on about 10 plays, more or less feeling things out again), there was a much better story. T.J. Graham looks good -- really good. At NC...

Buffalo Bills 53-man Roster Projection

Can Ryan Fitzpatrick take the Bills back to the playoffs in 2012? If there was one word used to describe the Buffalo Bills 2011 season it would be turbulent. Things got off to a great start, as the Bills opened the NFL season by winning their first three games on their way to a 5-2 start. However, at that point the wheels fell off the wagon and the Bills went into a tailspin...

Bills Williams' new home windfall for scam victims

Buffalo Bills defensive end Mario Williams has a new home and at least 53 new fans. By closing on a $2 million deal to purchase a mansion in suburban Buffalo, the Bills' high-priced free-agent addition helped a group of creditors recoup about $500,000 they were cheated out of by the home's former owner, William F. Savino says. Savino is a Buffalo-based attorney representing...

Mario Williams buys $2M mansion from jailed lawyer

Back in March, Mario Williams broke the bank -- or, likely, a chain of banks -- when he agreed to a six-year, $100 million contract with the Bills. The deal, which included a whopping $50 million in guarantees, made him the highest-paid defender in NFL history. Now that he's settled in the Buffalo area, Super Mario is putting some of that money to good use. Per the Buffalo...

Vince Young Struggling To Learn Bills Offense

WR Donald Jones Gets Another Shot To Impact With Bills

Donald Jones was one of those buzz names last season, a relative unknown pegged as an under-the-radar difference-maker for the Buffalo Bills. It didn't work out that way for the wide receiver, who suffered through an injury-plagued season that eventually ended on IR. David Nelson neatly slid into Jones' role as No. 2 wide receiver opposite Stevie Johnson, but Jones is determined...
