Over his 86-game career, Webster has been a decent playmaker and has shown the ability to out-muscle bigger opposing receivers. Webster may not make the Bills' roster, but the 2000 second-round pick from Texas A&M will be somewhat of a steal if he does.
Buffalo lost its top CB, Nate Clements, to a record contract in free agency, and that means Webster is already its most proven defensive back. Safeties Donte Whitner and Ko Simpson are both coming off their rookie campaigns; McGee has only four seasons of experience; Youboty played a meager three games as a first-year man; and Thomas and Greer are considered nickel corner-types at best.
For better or worse, then, Webster and his 11 career interceptions rank No. 1 on the Bills' defensive back depth chart. In light of that, Buffalo had nothing to lose by signing the seven-year man. He's a veteran who has been around the so-called block in the NFL, and perhaps he can serve as a mentor to the Bills' young DBs.
