Just read his bio on BB.com


great long snapper. Could mean bye bye J. Dorenbos

if your saying Bradford Banta, he's not a rookie, and he's ok. He's a long snapper I think.

Sorry to post on this thread again (I know it will annoy someone with Friggin' Tiny Nuts but his annoyance bookmarked it for me - thanks Tiny!) it seems like it was for both TE and LS Banta was signed for. Jon Dorenbos is day to day with knee injury.

The Bills have signed 11-year NFL veteran Bradford Banta as an emergency long snapper and tight end. Knee injuries have sidelined the team's two top tight ends, Mark Campbell and rookie Tim Euhus, for the rest of the season. Both have been placed on injured reserve.

Meanwhile, steady long snapper Jon Dorenbos injured a knee covering a kick against the Cleveland Browns last Sunday and is day-to-day for the Bengals. Dorenbos was not able to practice on Wednesday and Banta started his crash course in getting used to working with punter/holder Brian Moorman and place-kicker Rian Lindell.

Banta is an eleven year veteran in his mid thirties and will in NO WAY be a long term replacement for Jon Dorenbos. He's an accurate long snapper. Maybe he can block a little as a tight end, but he is not a receiver. I think Sam Adams has caught as many balls in his career as Bradford Banta.
