6'7" 299 DE from So Car. Drafted by the Browns in the 6th round of the 2010 draft. Bounced from team to team.

With the Bills running a 4-3 that emphasizes speed and penetration, they might be looking at Geathers as a DT, or a swing guy at the very least.

If he doesn't work out as a defensive player, the Bills could switch him to offensive tackle. He's got 37 inch arms. That's gorilla like. All he'd need to do is stick out his arms and he could clothesline the entire opposing team's D-line.

Definitely a DT. They were hoping Heard would clear I bet. He's the consolation.

I'm thinking the same way, he is big for a DE and might be a better fit inside. As far as moving him to the OL, you never know, Gailey certainly has no problems switching a players position. I think we'll see him as a project at a position other than DE.

Four teams in two years, but Dallas snagged him out from under Seattle. And Buffalo snagged him out from Dallas. He was going toe-to-toe with Spears all throughout camp this season. The Cowboys were going to try and sneak him onto their practice squad so they could have both players. To put all that movement in to perspective.

Still isn't on the roster page with the others.

The practice squad is full & he's not on it. His only chance is if one of the practice squad guys is going on the roster when Brooks is IRd & he's waiting for the opening to make it official. As of noon 9/4 here is the entire practice squad:
Kamar Aiken WR
LaMark Brown TE
Marcus Easley WR
Jarron Gilbert DT
Isaiah Green DB
T.J. Heath CB
Jay Ross DT
David Snow OL

This team makes less and less sense but alright.

One more reason to pay no attention to Twitter, as if we needed one more.

It's a source. How good it is is debatable.
