OTAs Update: Today the media was allowed to talk to the coordinators and watch practice. OC Rick Dennison said that Tyrod Taylor is a natural for their offense while DC Leslie Frazier said the depth chart is fluid at this time and that there is a chance that both Reggie Ragland and Preston Brown end up in the starting lineup. He also said he is working Kevon Seymour inside and outside at corner. Ragland was sitting out practice as he is still limited in getting back from his torn ACL last summer. The team is without Zay Jones who suffered a sprained knee on Tuesday during OTAs and is week to week. Charles Clay was sitting with a maintenance day as they continue to take it easy with him because of his chronic knee issues. Also sitting out while rehabbing injuries were Sammy Watkins, Kolby Listenbee, Cordy Glenn, Eric Wood, Blake Annen, Cyrus Kouandjio, and Jordan Johnson. Nathan Peterman was not in attendance as he is in Los Angeles attending the NFL Rookie Premiere. Mike Tolbert was also sidelined.

Bills Hire VP: The Bills continue to rebuild their front office announcing the hiring of Brian Gaine as the Vice President of Player Personnel. You may know the name as Gaine was one of four people who interviewed for the General Manager position, the Bills have now hired half of the men interviewed for the job. Brandon Beane knows Gaine well and took a shot to hire him after he lost out on the top job. Gaine has 18 years experience in Pro Player Personnel including being the Director of Pro Personnel for Houston most recently. He must have liked what Beane had to say and his experience interviewing for the GM job because the move is largely a lateral move for Gaine. He has also worked with Asst. GM Jim Schoen while with Miami. Front Office Page.
