--A half-dozen veterans skipped at least the final day of Organized Team Activity workouts at Ralph Wilson Stadium. That still meant some 80 players did take part, including QB J.P. Losman who wouldn't dream of skipping. He's been handed the starting job and the work he's putting in during May should make things run smoother come July. "Anytime you get a chance to come out here with the receivers, especially organized and running plays that we are going to run during the year, it's very critical," Losman said. "I'm very fortunate for the guys here that we're getting our timing down now."

--Tom Roth has been promoted to BLESTO scout after two seasons as the Bills college scouting administrator. Roth's territory will include North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and the Washington D.C. area. Roth replaces David Hinson, who has joined the New Orleans Saints as an area scout.

QUOTE TO NOTE
"What he's done is part of history. I don't' see him damaging his legacy. He's a guy who has put up tremendous numbers and he's in a position to be a Hall of Fame guy. He's playing now because he still feels he can play and he doesn't want to put up the cleats until it's on his terms. Rarely can a guy do that. If he still feels he can play, let him play until he says he can't do it anymore." - Bills WR Eric Moulds talking about NFL all-time receiver and good friend Jerry Rice, 42, who has signed with Denver. It is Rice's 21st season.
