ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- The Buffalo Bills signed first-round pick Sammy Watkins to his rookie contract Wednesday. The Bills announced the signing shortly after the teams first session of organized team activities. "Its great just to put all that behind me, just to know you have financial stability," Watkins said. "Now its just all football. Every day I have to come in and worry about football and my plays and my job and just work out there." Buffalo is counting on Watkins to immediately step into the starting lineup for a team that has not been to the playoffs since 1999, the NFLs longest current drought. The Bills moved up five spots in the draft in a trade with the Cleveland Browns to select Watkins fourth overall. The 6-foot-1, 211-pound wideout is known for his playmaking abilities and has tremendous speed and hands. Wednesday was Watkins first official practice with quarterback EJ Manuel and the rest of the offence. He lined up with the starting unit at receiver alongside fellow off-season acquisition Mike Williams. Watkins and Manuel had a slow start to the session. An early pass intended for Watkins was off the mark and intercepted by cornerback Corey Graham. But the duo responded accordingly. The two later hooked up for receptions over the middle and down the left sideline. "Its coming along," Watkins said. "Weve got a lot to work on, a lot of different routes and schemes weve got to clean up a little bit. But its a process." Watkins will miss Buffalos remaining two sessions this week as he heads to Los Angeles to participate in the 2014 NFLPA Rookie Premiere. He made it clear he would prefer to be on the football field adjusting to life with the Bills. "I would rather stay here and get the connection with the quarterback. I dont want to fall behind," Watkins said. "Its kind of sad that I have to leave for three to four days and everybody has that two to three days ahead of me. So I really have to study the plays and get out there running and training, not get behind too far." Air Max Australia . The best round belonged to Pat Perez.

The lasting image of Sundays race, however, will be Scott Dixon stuck in his car against the wall after another unfortunate run-in with rival Will Power. Pagenaud charged to the lead after a series of collisions involving several other contenders on the bumpy, challenging street course that runs through the middle of the city. None of those mishaps was more significant than the one involving Dixon and Power. Last week at Sonoma, Dixon held the lead until he received a drive-through penalty with 15 laps to go for hitting a tire in the left hand of Powers tire holder. Power won the race. On Saturday, Power spun Dixon during practice. Then came Sunday, when the duo ran into each other again -- quite literally. During a restart on the 53rd lap, Power swerved right in a crowd in front of Dixon while trying to pass Sebastien Bourdais. Power clipped the barrier, and Dixon ultimately lost control and smacked into the wall, ending his day. Afterward, a distraught Power said, "I was just looking at Bourdais back. I had a good run on him and I was going to go off his inside. Dixon, obviously, had the same run on me. I feel bad. I just didnt even think to look in my mirror. I was just trying to win the race, trying to beat Bourdais. I feel terrible. Im just so sorry." Power made it to the pit but was given a penalty for interference and finished 18th, one spot ahead of Dixon. Dixon was mad at just about everybody, including Graham Rahal (for earlier spinning Dixons car) and Oriol Servia, whom he accused of passing him on a yellow flag. He also took a shot at IndyCar officials for not allowing him the chance to get back into the race. "That restart was a complete botch," Dixon said. "I had an overtake advantage on Power -- it must have been in fourth gear, so they cant complain about wheel spin. Then I got beside him and he ran me straight into the wall. Then, they wouldnt (let me) bring the car back." James Hinchcliffe of Oakville, Ont., was seventh. It was the second career victory for Pagenaud, both this year. The 29-year-old Frenchman joiins Power and Ryan Hunter-Reay as winners of this 3-year-old race.dddddddddddd "I struggled there for a bit, but we picked up in the middle section there (and) we got very lucky on the restarts," Pagenaud said. Bourdais, who finished third behind Josef Newgarden, said about the wacky afternoon: "It was one those races, when you finish, you feel like you survived. It was the usual Baltimore chaos, with one restart after another." The collision between Power and Dixon came after a pileup on the turn in front of the baseball stadium. On Lap 48, Rahal spun Dixon and created a logjam involving five cars. Minutes before that, IndyCar points leader Helio Castroneves received a black flag for a safety violation during a restart. Castroneves finished ninth but increased his points lead to 49 over Dixon, who remained in second place. Pagenaud moved into third place, 70 points off the pace. Tony Kanaan, the Indianapolis 500 winner, made IndyCar history by participating in his 212th consecutive race. He eclipsed the mark held by Jimmy Vasser while driving in the No. 11 Chevrolet for Vassers KV Racing team. Kanaan hit the wall near the end of the race and finished 15th. "It was a very physical and bizarre race," Kanaan said. Hunter-Reay fell off the pace early with an electronics issue and never recovered. He was forced to withdraw from the race after 42 laps with mechanical difficulties. "It just died all of a sudden," he said. Hunter-Reay started the day in third place in the point standings and fell to fifth. "To see the championship slip away, its frustrating," he said. James Jakes and Takuma Sato dropped out of the race early with mechanical difficulties. Luca Filippi followed, and Dario Franchitti broke down for good after 22 laps. It was a particularly bad day for Franchitti, who before the race received a 10-spot grid penalty for an unapproved engine change. Before the race, IndyCar officials placed rookie Tristan Vautier on probation and fined him $10,000 for actions during qualifying Saturday, when his car made contact with the car driven by Rahal under a waving yellow flag condition.
