The future of popular Buffalo Bills guard Ruben Brown is now in the hands of new coach Mike Mularkey.
Brown, who has spent his entire nine-year NFL career in Buffalo and has gone to a team-record eight consecutive Pro Bowls, is in danger of being cut before Wednesday — the start of free agency — due to a combination of his age, contract, the coaching staff change and the controversial way his season ended last fall.
Brown was excused from the final game at New England after arriving late for a practice and having a confrontation with former offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride. The Bills lost 31-0 to complete a 6-10 season.
Mularkey, back at Ralph Wilson Stadium after a week at the Indianapolis Scouting Combine, said on Thursday he’s still in the process of evaluating the roster he inherited from Gregg Williams. But the clock is ticking fast on Brown, who is due a $1.8 million bonus if he’s still on the roster on March 3.
