Maybe not.. But can't discount the fact that out of every free agent on the market this was the very first guy they brought in, so they obviously were very interested.

Maybe Wade has grown with experience, but he wasn't really much for Miami when he was thrust into the sorry o-line we had at the time.

There's already a couple of Wade Smiths on the Bills' roster.

I know it's Ralph's money and that he's gotten rich off of us, but if the Bills signed him for that much money I'd be embarrassed for them.

Its 3 mil a year. Isn't that what we paid for Cornell Green?

They both seem like similar caliber players with Smith possibly having the edge and without the domestic abuse.

The difference is Green has been starting at RT the last 3 years.

Smith is primarily a fill in Guard when starters go down.


The Houston Texans have signed versatile offensive lineman Wade Smith.
According to FOX Sports, the four-year deal is worth $12 million and includes $6.25 million in guaranteed money.
Per the report, the Seattle Seahawks and the Chiefs were interested in Smith.
“Wade really enjoyed his other visits to Arizona and Buffalo, but Houston was the first team we heard from after midnight Friday," agent Brian Parker told Fox Sports. “He felt it was the right fit for him.”
Smith has played tackle, guard and center, but is primarily a guard.
Last season, he started nine games for the Chiefs.
Smith has previous stints with the MIami Dolphins and the New York Jets.

There's nothing similar about them.

I bet he starts for the Texans. They lost Chester Pitts and their RG situation is not good. He could even play C for them.

Wade Smith is a starter.

Re: Wade Smith signs with Texans

$3 million per year for a versatile backup OL who can play three or more spots isn't all that much money.

Especially when you factor what a disaster the depth on our OL turned out to be once injuries hit.
