Free agent WR Donald Jones will visit the Patriots Thursday.

Bills non-tendered WR Donald Jones, making him an unrestricted free agent.

A source tells WGR 550 that the Bills are working on a contract extension with impending restricted free agent Donald Jones. Instead of slapping Jones with a one-year tender, they're interested in locking him up with a long-term deal. The former undrafted free agent out of Youngstown State is coming off his best NFL season as he posted 41 catches for 443 yards and four touchdowns. Jones best fits as a No. 3 or 4 wideout behind Stevie Johnson and a play-making wideout the Bills bring in.

Bills WR Donald Jones (non-football/illness list) is confident that he will be "back in May and ready to go" for OTAs. Jones has kept the illness private, though it's believed to be a minor kidney disorder. He insists the issue has never hampered him "football-wide," and the only reason he was shut down in December was because the medicine weighed him down. "It's nothing life-threatening or anything like that," added Jones, a restricted a free agent.

The Bills placed WR Donald Jones on the non-football/illness list due to a mystery illness. Jones said the condition is "not career-threatening at all" and that it's something he has been "dealing with for years." He told the Buffalo News last year that a "minor kidney disorder" discovered during the 2010 NFL combine kept him off some teams' draft boards. It's uncertain if Jones is currently dealing with the same ailment.

Bills declared WR Donald Jones (calf) inactive for Sunday's Week 15 game against the Seahawks. Jones can't get over the hump with this nagging calf strain. It gives T.J. Graham another chance to start opposite Stevie Johnson. The rest of the Bills' inactives: QB Tarvaris Jackson, CB Leodis McKelvin, CB T.J. Heath, DL Jay Ross, C Eric Wood and OL Chris Scott.

Although he got in a full week of practice, Donald Jones (calf) is questionable for Week 15. Jones is going to play against the Seahawks in Toronto, but will be a bottom-of-the-barrel WR4/5. He's Rotoworld's No. 58 receiver for Week 15.

Bills WR Donald Jones (calf) is practicing in full this week. Jones sat out Sunday's win over the Jags, but he will play in Week 14 against the Rams. While he'll serve as the Bills' No. 2 receiver, his low ceiling doesn't make him a particularly attractive WR3 option for the fantasy playoffs.

Bills coach Chan Gailey expects Donald Jones (calf) to practice Wednesday, and to play in Week 14, barring a setback. Jones missed Sunday's win over the Jaguars, but should return to No. 2 duties against the Rams. Averaging just 3.5 catches for 37.3 yards, Jones won't be a viable WR3 for the fantasy playoffs.

Coach Chan Gailey did not express much concern over the calf injury that kept Donald Jones out of Week 13. It sounds like Jones has a good shot to play in next week's game against the Rams. "It was as much precautionary as it was him being in bad shape," Gailey said. T.J. Graham started opposite Stevie Johnson against the Jags, recording two catches for 54 yards.
