        I'm sure he doesnt fit this wonderful defensive scheme they are running. meaning he would be an upgrade over everyone except McCargo.

          I am actually quite impressed with our DT play this year. No one outside of McCargo has shown flashes of greatness, but we have come along way from last year when anytime a rb got the ball he was guaranteed 10 yds and a chance to take it to the house. The first few games looked like last year, but these past two or three games we have shown quite a bit of improvement imo.

            This team wants to get younger, not older. It's unfortunate because grady would be an upgrade to our interior D-line. He'll probably be sought out by teams like indy and ne.

              the play of the defense especially the last two games has been very surprising to me - plus, knowing our luck, we'd sign this guy and he'd catch gangrene from a papercut from his playbook and have to have his leg amputated the next day or something.

                The reason being is he is insanely obese. I mean the size of Rhode Island big. He just can't help teams the way he used to unless he immediatly sheds 25-30 lbs.

                    The Bills prefer fast physical players. Grady Jackson would only be helpful in 3rd down situations and I'm not sure that he's even capable of making it on the field quick enough to beat the snap.

                        6'-2" 345

                        That's almost identical to Sam Fadams' size.

                        They're also the exact same age. 34
