The Buffalo Bills introduce their new General Manager today in Orchard Park, New York. Buddy Nix will take over as the new GM, effective immediately. Nix has over 14 years of NFL experience in a number of different capacities, most recently as the Bills national scout. His last executive positions was with the San Diego Chargers as their assistant GM/director of player personnel.
There were two other candidates who were jockeying for the position, but after a great face-to-face interview with team owner Ralph Wilson Nix was offered the job. Nix, who recently turned 70 years old, is taking over the position which was vacated by Marv Levy after the 2007 season.

There has been much debate over the last several weeks since the firing of Dick Jauron about a "big name coach" coming in and returning Buffalo to the promise land.

Hey fans, yes, the rumors are true about Michael Vick's adviser, former Indianapolis Colts coach Tony Dungy expressing his personal interest about Vick joining the Buffalo Bills next year. In the same conversation, the Bills were also in the mix of acquiring Vick's services before the season started along with Bengals. This of course, was after his prison sentence for dog fighting was completed.
Now, I am not saying that the rumors for next season have been completely thrown out the window, but when it comes right down to it, the Bills have two starting QBs already, Edwards and Fitzpatrick. Furthermore, what has Vick done this year for the Eagles that could contribute to the success of the Bills next season? Vick, has completed 2 of 6 passes for 6 yards and rushed 12 times for 27 [...]

Buffalo Bills safety Donte Whinter has played multiple positions on the football field in his career with the Buffalo Bills. From the two safety to nickel corner back, Whitner has been the most versatile defender on the team.
In the off-season, news came out that Whitner would be moving to the free position full time, as veteran Bryan Scott stepped into the strong safety role. The move would help Whitner become more of the "center fielder" of the defense to create more big plays, something that he has been criticized for in his career.
It is now being reported by FoxSports and ProFootballTalk.com's Gregg Rosenthal that Donte Whitner could be playing a position he has never played before in his career; backup.
FoxSports.com reports that "Buffalo's coaching staff is [...]
