"The significance of signing of Adams, a 6-3, 330-pounder, can't be overstated, Gray said.
Teamed with Pat Williams, another beefy presence in the middle, Adams will discourage teams from running up the gut on Buffalo -- last year, the Bills gave up 4.5 yards per carry -- and he can also collapse the pocket.
Fletcher, who had a team-record 209 tackles last season, in theory, can start making hits closer to the line of scrimmage instead of five yards down field.
And Spikes and Posey should be free to run to the ball or to the quarterback.
"Those guys will keep London Fletcher clean," said Gray of Adams, Williams and third-year pro Ron Edwards, who will rotate into the mix."
