According to Mike Rodak:
"The Bills announced they are hosting free agents LB Zach Brown and CB Corey White on visits Monday. Brown, 26, played the past four seasons for the Titans; the speedy former second-round pick could compete for a starting job alongside Preston Brown if he's signed. White split last season between the Cardinals and Cowboys after three seasons with the Saints."

It's also on the bills site:

I'd be happy with Zach Brown. I think he can be a good player and would at least provide decent depth at ILB. Could be a solid replacement for Bradham.

I wouldn't mind either. As Brown the bigger name but think White started under Rob Ryan in New Orleans and give us some needed depth at CB.

Nice. I really like this signing. Brown is a much better player than I thought the Bills would be able to get this year in free agency due to such limited cap space. I was expecting only mediocre depth players, but Brown has a real chance to start or at least have a significant role.

Plus a one year deal means he's got a lot of motivation to have a good season.

I'm told LB Zach Brown has signed a one-year deal with the #Bills (https://twitter.com/hashtag/Bills?src=hash).


Draft Another Brown and we should have an all Browns linebacker corp

So first we had the Electric Company and next we'll have the Brown Outs?

I like this signing. Brown is a guy with plenty of upside on the right side of 30 who will likely be only asked to be a backup. Solid move.

Well, he is fast and supposedly can cover. Got benched this year though, but still played a lot

Hughes and Lawson are LBers and I'm pretty sure they are not going to pick up 2 more Browns to replace them.

I like the signings. I think Brown has a chance to start at ILB in the base 3-4 and should be able to help out in coverage in nickel and dime packages. White can fight for the fourth CB spot and looks to be better than anyone we have behind Gilmore, Darby, and Robey. Maybe CB and ILB can be addressed a little bit later on in the draft now.

Was reading a little about White. He's 6' 210, has also played safety...

Brown was supposed to be a solid lb but had locker room issues with the Titans. Might have been his fit in their D.

Solid signings imho.

Not bad signings.

I watched some tape of the Florida LB they brought in and I like him as well. I think being able to draft a player like him or the ILB from Clemson Goodson in rounds 3 or later will be better options for the bills.

We need a 5 technique (LE) and another edge rusher in the worst way.

As for Corner I would still like for them to draft a corner as well, someone to push Robey, Butler, White. However, like you said White has some safety experience so not bad.

All in all I know free agency has been boring but getting Brown who will more than likely start next to Preston Brown as the WILB in our 34 and nickle cover LB packages is probably best thing as he has experience in a 34 def.

Was Brown the guy that took out Tyrod last season?

If I like White better than Brown, does that make me racist?
