This guy isn't getting the attention he deserves. The only team that showed interest in him so far is Denver. He's an excellent run stuffing DT who's very consistent. He's the next best DT after Gardener and Sam Adams in my opinion.
"An active and productive player who serves as solid run stopper… an explosive individual who is quick off snap…enjoys physical play in trenches…one of two 1999 draft picks starting on d-line…was praised for his excellent attendance and work ethic in offseason conditioning and workouts…drafted in second round (52nd overall) of 1999 draft. " - TheInsiders
"2. John Thornton: Thornton is a defensive tackle who's on the rise, and is hitting the market during the perfect time in his career."
the 2 above is where TheInsiders ranked him among all the FA DT. Only Gardener was placed ahead of him. They placed him ahead of Brandon Noble, Sam Adams and Chester McGlockton.
"John Thornton, Tennessee, UFA, 6’2”, 292: A young player entering his prime and will be 27 this upcoming season. Has been a solid starter for the Titans. A solid run stuffer and power type player. Would really bolster the Bills rushing defense and would start." - BZ offseason outlook DT
Thoughts???
i know id be thrilled if we can get him. He'd be cheaper than Adams and Gardener but would really be a quality pickup playing next to Pat W.
