Not sure how many of you remember him. Apparently was a former first-rounder with talent but fell into a life of drug and alcohol abuse. He tried out with Buffalo. He's been tested extensively for 11 months and come out clean that entire time. Fairly interesting.

Re: DT Wendell Bryant tried out for the Bills
a few comments about this:
1. Even though he's 28, he only played 3 seasons so he probably has more longevity than the typical DT.
2. The fact that the Bills are even considering this guy shows how little faith they have in McCargo. My guess is that they would have liked to have done something about McCargo this off-season but couldn't due to the number of other needs we had.
3. Even though it seems like Bryant is working hard to get it together, I'm leery of guys with character issues, especially after all the recent incidents with this team. McCargo on the field is better than Bryant on suspension. -
Re: DT Wendell Bryant tried out for the Bills
I agree with pretty much everything you said. I certainly don't mind them giving him a shot and bringing him into TC. Even at this point in his life, he's probably better than most UDFA's. They already tried him out so maybe they'll sign him at some point. Could be they were waiting for this past tryout weekend to be over and make decisions on who to bring into camp.Originally posted by OpIv37"Misguided political correctness tethers our intellects."

Re: DT Wendell Bryant tried out for the Bills
I remember him, he was considered one of the best DT's that year. Came out of Wisconsin.
I think it was the same year as Jimmy Kennedy, Ryan Pickett, and Dwayne Robertson.

Re: DT Wendell Bryant tried out for the Bills
That's real funny. I saw the story this morning about him on PFT so I thought he could be a good fit for the Bills as a 3 technique so I started doing some research on him.Originally posted by psubills62
Now this story pops up. NICE.
Guy is 6'5 298 and gets up field. Well in college anyways. Could be a great pick up playing next to Stroud.Comment

Re: DT Wendell Bryant tried out for the Bills
Or maybe they are thinking he could be a diamond in the rough. Not defending McCargo but thats what tryouts are for.Originally posted by OpIv37Comment

Re: DT Wendell Bryant tried out for the Bills
it's nothing to get too excited over- 98% of the time, guys like this don't even make it through camp. But he's worth a look.Comment

Re: DT Wendell Bryant tried out for the Bills
Bottom line is the Bills are looking for a DT that can be more disruptive than Williams.
Having a penetrator at DT is crucial to their scheme and Williams is NOT that. Ideally I think the Bills would prefer Williams as a rotational guy.Comment

Re: DT Wendell Bryant tried out for the Bills
He had top 5 talent, so i'd give it a little higher percentage. Plus we got nothing to lose. Look at our options, doubt it's not too hard to beat out Mccargo.Comment

Re: DT Wendell Bryant tried out for the Bills
Actually, him signing here is not a sure thing. The article suggests he may have other workouts and also wouldn't mind playing in other leagues if he got a better offer.
