ORCHARD PARK, N. Darrelle Revis Jersey .Y. -- Buffalo Bills receiver David Nelson described free agent quarterback Vince Young as looking in great shape during his workout for the team on Wednesday. Whats unclear is what the Bills think about Young and whether he fits in their plans. The Bills provided no update after Young met with coaches and held an on-field workout at the teams facility. A person familiar with Youngs travel schedule would only say that the player flew out of Buffalo later in the day. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because no updates had been provided by the team. Nelson was one of four Bills receivers to run routes and catch passes during the quarterbacks session, and was impressed by Youngs appearance and ability. "He looked good," Nelson said, after honouring a teacher and hosting a discussion at Orchard Park High School. "Big guy. Physical and aggressive. Hes in shape. Hes definitely in shape working out and working hard." The visit was Youngs first this off-season in a bid to find a new team. Young was not re-signed by the Philadelphia Eagles after completing a one-year contract. Torrey Smith Jersey .C. -- The Bobcats are shutting down forward Corey Maggette for the season.

Jordan has endured plenty of criticism after Charlotte finished the season with the worst winning percentage (.106) in NBA history. The Bobcats finished the lockout-shortened season 7-59 in. Despite that, Maggette said players enjoy playing for Jordan and doesnt believe free agents will shy away from signing with Charlotte because "hes a winner, and will be a winner" again. Maggette said hes behind Jordan "100 per cent." "I know this is a tough situation where people are kind of bashing him because hes down," Maggette said. "But he will find a way to get on top. And thats what hes always done. If you look at his career and how hes got into this position hes going to be better and hes going to make this organization better. "The same people that are bashing him now are going to end up praising him later." Before that can happen questions will need to be answered throughout the organization, beginning with the coaching staff. Coach Paul Silass contract is up. Its unclear if Jordan will re-sign him, hand the reigns of the team over to Silas son Stephen or simply move in another direction completely and clean house. Silas has said repeatedly he hopes to coach one more season and get the ship righted. Rod Higgins, the president of basketball operations, did not return telephone calls to The Associated Press seeking comment on Silas future. Silas has been in an awful situation this season. Not only were the Bobcats a young team, but they didnt have the luxury of getting those players experience playing in organized summer leagues because of the 149-day lockout. And because of the condensed season practice time was limited. The injuries to Maggette, D.J. Augustin and Henderson didnt help. Maggette, who Silas was counting on to be a 20-point per game guy, missed 34 games. Augustin, the teams point guard and best shooter, missed 18 and Henderson sat out 11. Shooting guard Reggie Williams wound up missing 33 games. "I think Paul did the best he could with the guys he had on the floor," Maggette said. "We went through a year where night after night guys were going down with injuries and youre shooting under 30 per cent ffrom the field you just cant win any games that way. Matt Cassel Jersey. Thats tough. So hopefully they give him an opportunity to show what type of a coach he is and what he can bring to the table here." The combination of injuries, a young team and a shortened season made for a tough year for Silas. "When you have guys that are out, you want the guys that are in to do a good job, but its really hard," Silas said. "You have to look at yourself and say We still have a chance, were still going to get it done, but in reality the guys that were second stringers became our starters. Then the guys that were third string become our second string, so its tough." There are also decisions to be made in free agency. The 49-year-old Jordan vowed at the beginning of the season that the Bobcats would be active players in free agency this coming summer. As for the draft, the Bobcats are almost certain to take Kentuckys Anthony Davis with the No. 1 overall pick if they get it. But theyre only guaranteed a 25 per cent chance of getting it. There are in-house decisions as well. The Bobcats plan to build around Henderson and rookies Kemba Walker and Bismack Biyombo. But they could free up more money to spend in free agency by using the amnesty clause one of their existing big-ticket players. Maggette is due to make $10.9 million next season, while Tyrus Thomas will make $8 million and Gana Diop $7.4 million. Thomas is the most intriguing option. He underachieved this season and was benched midway through the season. But hes due $26 million over the next three seasons, which seems extravagant for a player who averaged just 5.6 points and 3.7 rebounds per game. Thomas said he wants to return to the Bobcats but added "Thats a question you will have to ask the front office." Despite the unanswered questions, Maggette believes Jordan wont rest until things turn around. "Hopefully he makes a decision in the off-season as far as trying to find some more quality guys wholl help this team," Maggette said. "But you have to have faith in this organization -- and I know I do. Mike is going to do whatever it takes." As for this being a wasted season, Thomas disagrees. "It just didnt go as expected, but if in three years from now were contending for a championship then nothing went wrong this season," Thomas said. ' ' '
