PITTSFORD, N.Y. ‹ Buffalo Bills second-round pick James Hardy became the
third and most significant rookie to sign with the team Thursday, the
day before training camp opens in suburban Rochester.
Besides Hardy, a receiver who was selected 41st overall out of Indiana,
the Bills also signed third-round pick, defensive end Chris Ellis, and
sixth-round pick, running back Xavier Omon, both to four-year contracts.
That leaves Buffalo first-round pick Leodis McKelvin, a cornerback, as
the one unsigned player before the team's first practice Friday morning.
The Bills were negotiating with McKelvin late Thursday evening. Earlier
in the day, Bills chief operating officer Russ Brandon expressed
confidence that the first-round pick would be signed in time for the
start of camp.
<GO BILLS!!>
