Players Hold Organized Workouts
Bills Coaches Distanced Themselves: The Bills coaches joined a growing number of their colleagues that has distanced themselves from a recent coaching association declaration. A motion filed by the National Football League Coaches Association says that they support the players in the ongoing labor dispute. Many coaches say they were caught off guard by this and they don't actually support the players. The Bills were joined by coaches from at least seven other teams denouncing the motion.

Jersey Unveiling Set: The Bills announced today that they will unveil the new jerseys at a launch event on Friday June 24th from 6:30pm to 10:30pm at Ralph Wilson Stadium. The event will include live music, on field access, fan selected movie viewing on the scorebard, and the jerseys will be on sale. The Jills will be there along with several Bills alumni. Assuming the lockout is still in effect the current players won't be able to be there to unveil the jerseys so the alumni will likely be the ones wearing them. There will also be interactive games as well.
