He will be in later this week. Today he has a family funeral to attend.
He has gotten offers from the Giants and Bengals but the both recently signed centers. So, that bodes well for us getting him.
The Giants and Bengals have already made contract pitches to Bober, but he wants to visit with McNally before making any decisions, said agent Robb Nelson.
“He has an unbelievable amount of respect for Jim McNally, who really gave him his chance to play in the league and developed him into the player that he is now,” Nelson said. “I can say this: If the opportunity and situation comes up to continue to keep playing for Jim McNally, Chris is very interested.”
Good to hear he is very interested in the Bills. But his agent says that the Bills won't necessarily play Bober at C.
“It’s seems to me they’re pleased with Trey Teague and wouldn’t view Chris as necessarily someone to take his spot,” Nelson said. “I know he has an option coming up … but it seems to me Jim McNally is driving the ship to the extent that he’d like to have Chris and he’s pushing for Chris. Where he’d play is something that would have to be determined.”
Then again Nelson would not be the one to announce or know if the Bills had intentions to cut Teague. However, it is good to hear that the Bills trust McNally to build his OL, that he is "driving the ship" and that their seems to be a mutual interest between Bober and McNally.
