Bills to add veterans for depth?
With a need at guard, the Buffalo Bills might take a look at former Pittsburgh Steelers guard Kendall Simmons, according to Mark Gaughan of the Buffalo News. Gaughan also notes that former Bills safety Lawyer Milloy, who spent 2008 with the Atlanta Falcons, is still a free agent thus far.
After releasing 2008 starting left guard Derrick Dockery, who was subsequently picked up by the Washington Redskins, the Bills are expected to give Kirk Chambers the first shot to be the starter at the position in 2009. Simmons, who injured his Achilles tendon in a game against the Baltimore Ravens in September, would likely only be signed if the Bills' medical staff determined that he could be productive after such a devastating injury.
In Milloy, the Bills would be adding a depth defensive back, not a source of big plays per se, but a player that has had 90 or more tackles the past three season with the Falcons, and who made 271 tackles for the Bills over the course of three seasons from 2003 to 2005. Milloy would likely not command a huge salary and could provide strong leadership for a young Bills secondary.
