Pre-Season 2209 (Orchard Park, NY) - LB Corey Gross can buy a whole bunch of Payday candy bars today, because he just hit pay dirt. The Buffalo Bills signed the #10 overall pick in the 2206 draft to an FP3 contract, and believe it or not, he was ecstatic. 'I'm not gonna act like some other defensive players have been lately. This is a great day for me.' said Gross during the press conference announcing his contract. Contrary to the recent trend of top flight players reacting negatively to the Franchise tag, holding out until the first week of the season, only to miss 5 games with 'plantar fasciitis', then during Free Agency bolting the team that drafted him and groomed him into a Pro Bowl player, Gross welcomed the tag. 'I don't fly like some Byrds' said Gross as he dropped the mic on his exit out of the presser. Gross can be seen every Sunday demolishing offensive linemen and full backs.
