Rodrak seems to think we're eyeing him at RT. That doesn't make much sense but he makes great sense as depth at G or even starting at LG if we switch Ritchie to the RG spot and bench Miller. Personally think he be a solid add but only if thinking him as an interior guy. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2016/05/04/matt-slauson-lines-up-visits-with-chargers-bills/

I like it. The guy has started 16 games every year he's been in the league except 2014. It looks like he's played left guard his entire career except last year he also played center. Doesn't make much sense to me either to play him at tackle.

The Bills want a guy that can play multiple positions so they can save game day roster spots for TEs and RBs.

If Slauson can play G and T they also have Velasco who can play C/G. And Koujo has also been trained inside and outside.

How are we doing to sign him? Do we have the cap space?

The details haven't come out about Glenn's deal but it's possible it lowered his 2016 cap hit.

I would hope so - makes sense

When did Miller become bad at G ? He was a rookie last year and showed a lot of good things.

why would they move their all pro LG to RG? That's the dumbest thing I've ever read

I have no problems with Miller. I also having no problems creating depth on our offensive line.

WGR concurs that the Bills are eyeing him at RT competition. Will this be the end on Kuoandijo?

Unlike Miller, Kujo is a total waste of a pick

Damn, I keep rooting for KuJo to turn on the lightbulb, but it really does get to the point where you have to accept it will probably never happen.

I still cannot believe how bad this team remains at bringing in young talent on the O-line. Although, the Henderson situation is just piss poor luck.

Well, Miller was graded as one of the worst at his position by PFF (https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2015/11/11/pro-pffs-midseason-all-worst-team/) and only managed 12 games.

I don't know that he looked particularly bad to me, so much as not good, which wasn't real surprising for a rookie. Didn't look real comfortable with the pro game to me. Still, it's his 2nd year. But still, he needs improve (which he well might) and stay healthy (no clue if he will), and it would be good to have someone better than Richardson, Groy or Lalk to step in if anything happens.

I was thinking about Slauson, and remembering Joe Slusarski the 90's A's pitcher. If there was a guy named Slauson Slusarski I'd sign him in a heartbeat.

Chris Brown is trying to say he thinks he will be a backup.

I don't believe him for a second.

No. Sure hope they're wrangling over contract details.
