That's 3 guys now that may be in the mix at NT. More options is the key to filling the holes we have.


An ex-Panther also. Same as Harvey.

Hey it beats bringing back Marcus Harrison or any other former player we have had on our practice squad at least 3-4 times...lol

Does it look like the Bills might not being going NT in the draft early?

My guess is they hope one of these scrubs can make the team as a back-up and maybe another warrants the practice squad.

Re: Bills sign DT Marlon Favorite

height wise, he is similar to Kyle Williams, so is he a bad fit too? Why sign him?

Re: Bills sign DT Marlon Favorite

In an interview with James Varney of The Times-Picayune in New Orleans, Favorite was overwhelmed by coming back to Louisiana. "I'm overwhelmed," he said in the locker room. "I got the call yesterday and, well, God is good. I'm just looking forward now to contributing the best way I can. Any way I can contribute to the team I want to do it. I'm honored to be here - it's my hometown, don't have to take no flak, just hop in my car and drive across the river and I'm here," he said.

Well, that was short-lived.

My small piece on Favorite

Well if the 317 weight listing is correct, he's already got ~10-15 pounds on Williams. He also might be better at taking up gaps than Williams is, though I personally don't know anything about Favorite.

We'll know by the end of this weekend when we see who Ryan Pickett signs with.

Pickett was franchised by Green Bay.
