Wilkommen bei den Schatten » Ive never been that type

PITTSFORD, N.Y. -- Kyle Williams was so eager to practice for the first time in 10 months, the Buffalo Bills defensive tackle jumped offside on his third play from scrimmage.I think being out there and being excited to be back definitely played a role in that, Williams said Monday, before playfully blaming offensive coordinator Greg Roman. I think Roman did it on purpose with a hard count on first down being a jerk.Clearly joking, the 11-year veteran had reason to be upbeat following his first time back on the field since sustaining a season-ending left knee injury last October.The most uncomfortable thing was putting on my shoulder pads this morning, said Williams, who was cleared for practice after passing his physical.And then there was linebacker Brandon Spikes, who sat out last season and is getting a second chance at resuming his career after signing with the Bills on Sunday.I had to re-evaluate my life, get my priorities in order, said Spikes, who was sentenced to a year of probation in July 2015 after pleading guilty in a hit-and-run crash in which three people suffered minor injuries. The crash led to Spikes being released by New England after spending the 2014 season in Buffalo.I think I became a little complacent, and Ive never been that type of guy, said Spikes, who acknowledged that he perhaps should have re-signed with the Bills last year.Thats in the past. Im moving forward, he said. Im here to help this team, these younger guys and me personally get better.Newcomers and the return of familiar faces highlighted the day for the Bills, who resumed training camp in suburban Rochester following a day off.Also passing their physicals were starting defensive tackle Marcell Dareus and No. 1 receiver Sammy Watkins.Dareus missed the first 10 days of camp because of an undisclosed illness. Watkins was cleared four months after having surgery to repair a broken left foot.And Spikes wasnt the only newcomer to hit the field. The Bills on Sunday also signed linebacker David Hawthorne and tight end Jimmy Mundane.The defensive additions were prompted after rookie second-round draft pick Reggie Ragland injured his left knee on Friday.Coach Rex Ryan was still unable to provide a definitive update on the severity of the injury because he said the swelling in Raglands knee has not yet subsided.General manager Doug Whaley told The Associated Press that Ragland was scheduled to have follow-up tests within the next two days.The Bills were counting on Ragland and first-round pick, outside linebacker Shaq Lawson, to start this season.Lawson, however, had shoulder surgery in May and is projected to miss at least the first month of the season. Lawsons backup, Manny Lawson, isnt practicing either, and expected to miss the entire preseason with a torn pectoral muscle.As a result of injuries, the Bills havent had their projected starting 11 defenders on the field at the same time once this offseason.Thats a concern especially for a unit that was rebuilt this offseason to better suit Ryans philosophy after the defense underperformed last season. In Ryans first year as coach, Buffalo ranked 20th in the NFL in yards allowed and managed 21 sacks, a franchise low for a 16-game season.Ryan isnt worried.Well be where we want to go, Ryan said. I think by the time we kick it off for real, we should be in good shape.Williams expressed concern, wondering how the lack of practice time might hinder the younger players development.I dont think theres any denying its tough, because theyre young guys, theyre rookies, Williams said. They need as many reps as they can get.Game notes LT Cordy Glenn didnt practice after hurting his left ankle on Saturday. ...

With the deadline for a long-term deal looming, the Denver Broncos have offered star linebacker Von Miller a record $70 million guaranteed as part of a six-year, $114.5 million deal, which the sides had agreed to in June, a source said.That would make Miller the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history based on guaranteed money, as well as the highest-paid player in Denver franchise history.A source familiar with the talks said Thursday night he was optimistic the deal will get done by the 4 p.m. ET Friday deadline for designated franchise players to sign long-term contracts.Two executives from teams other than the Broncos said Thursday that Miller would have to take it.The Broncos and Millers agent, Joby Branion, had no substantive talks Thursday, but they are expected to re-engage Friday morning, a source said. The two sides had agreed to the basic framework of the deal in June; after a negotiating respite in recent weeks, they have since traded proposals about the guaranteed money.Quarterback Andrew Lucks recently signed extension with the Indianapolis Colts included an NFL-record $87 million in guaranteed money. The highest amount for a non-QB currently belongs to defensive end Fletcher Cox, who got $63.3 million guaranteed from the Philadelphia Eagles.The Broncos latest offer to Miller includes the majority of the guaranteed money in the first two years of the deal.Their offer to him in June included $39.8 million guaranteed in the first two years -- $38.5 million guaranteed monney at signing with $1.dddddddddddd3 million in workout bonuses. But with a finger pointed at the market, Miller and his representatives flagged Coxs six-year, $102.6 million deal with the Eagles.Miller, 27, had been designated the teams franchise player in February, which came with a one-year guaranteed tender of just over $14 million for the 2016 season. But the two sides have tried, with some starts and stops, to negotiate a long-term deal since the NFL scouting combine.Miller has vowed not to play the 2016 season under the franchise tag, which is increasingly looking like a moot point with the megadeal on the table.The Broncos first-round pick in 2011, Miller has 60 sacks in five seasons and played a key role on last seasons league-best defense. He reached what Broncos coach Gary Kubiak called a dominant level of play in a postseason run that included five sacks, two forced fumbles and an interception in three postseason games. His sack and forced fumble on Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton in Super Bowl 50 created the Broncos first touchdown in the title game as Denvers Malik Jackson recovered the fumble in the end zone.Millers ascent to Super Bowl MVP came two seasons after a troubling 2013, during which he was suspended six games under the leagues substance-abuse policy. Miller also tore an ACL in the second-to-last regular-season game of 2013. ' ' '
