Bills Sign Koons

[The Spaz]

The Bills today announced that the team has signed rookie free agent center Dan Koons.

Koons (6-4, 286) enters his professional career after staring 33 consecutive games for Louisville. One of the most consistent contributors for the Cardinals during his career, Koons anchored the line for a Louisville offense that ranked fifth in the nation in total offense and first in yards per rush in 2003.

The guy doesn't look like he's fresh out of college. He looks at least in his 30s.

Whoopee! We just got a perenial probowler and a future HOF center. I cannot control my excitement!

[Halbert]

You never know.

[The Spaz]

Maybe he can long snap too.

I know he's not a true center but Sobieski's been taking snaps from center as well.f anything I hope this guy can stick on the practice squad.

Pat Williams worked out pretty well for us...as did Keion Carpenter and Billy Conaty to name a few.

but my question is why did we wait so long? is someone disappointing?

[Tatonka]

good point, MPF.

I think we had some hope for Kurt Sigler, another undrafted FA, but that didn't work out.

I wonder why we don't take a look at Nick Romeo, a 4 year starter at center for Syracuse, and a guy who was rated as high as 7th or 8th among center prospects by some draft guides. He was ranked higher than both Sigler and Koons in every guide that I saw.

If he is avaialble then Bills don't think that highly of him if they brought in someone else.
