Ahh, the good old days. This was one of my favorite Bills back in the day. I think Metzelaars helped change the TE position.
There was a time in the NFL where the players looked to spend their entire playing career with one team. Pete Metzelaars hoped would happen in Seattle, however after three seasons with the Seahawks, the tight end was traded to Buffalo in 1985. The team looked to be bad again, and did finishing 2-14. Then things picked up for Metzelaars and the Bills. A new era was on the horizon that will never be matched again.
