Brad Smith is slated to be the Bills' No. 3 quarterback this year, which means Vince Young and Tyler Thigpen are battling for the team's backup spot behind starter Ryan Fitzpatrick. It's early, but Young looks like he's currently the slight favorite, according a Wednesday report from Tim Graham of the Buffalo News. It sounds like neither player, however, is playing very well at this week's mini-camp. Graham said both players have looked "mediocre at best" in off-season practices and "lousy at times." In short: Ryan Fitzpatrick shouldn't have to worry yet about anyone taking his job anytime soon.

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.

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.

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...

Who knew Mario was such a fan of hardbacks? Not us. The guy signs a $100 million deal with the Bills and decides he can’t live without a two-story library.

Bills' "No-Name" offense has top 10 objective
Receiver David Nelson sees no reason why the Buffalo Bills can't be one of the NFL's most productive offenses this season.

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...
