The Buffalo Bills have reached an agreement with New York Giants free-agent outside linebacker Kawika Mitchell, The Buffalo News has learned Meanwhile, former Pro Bowl defensive tackle Marcus Stroud of the Jacksonville Jaguars is scheduled to visit the Bills today. Stroud is not a free agent but has been given permission from the Jaguars to seek a trade.

Mitchell, 28, is a five-year veteran who started 16 games for the Super Bowl champions last season. He's 6-foot-1 and 253 pounds. He figures to be an immediate upgrade at strong-side linebacker for the Bills' defense.

Mitchell is expected in Buffalo later today to sign a contract.

Maybe Briggs is in the process of signing somewhere else and the Bills know it.

I'm dissapointed we're not getting Briggs, but Mitchell is at least an upgrade from a championship team.

You picked me the wrong no-name Linebacker.

Re: BILLS SIGN LB MITCHELL

i love briggs, but mitchel is a big stud SLB.

moving crow to WILL gives us a potential upgrade at both spots -- kawika is a stronger guy at the point of attack, and crow has sick all around skills.

could be pretty kewl.

Mitchell is a SLB, Briggs is a WLB

Mitchell is not a no-name LB.

Re: BILLS SIGN LB MITCHELL

Wow. NOBODY saw this coming.

He's probably a good signing but it's hard to get excited about that.
