ya, we needed another legit starter type dlineman. always like carrington and though he was underrated...

[Ed]

He seemed like a popular choice for potential break-out player a couple years ago before getting hurt and going on IR. I'd definitely be interested in seeing him return to provide some DL depth. It doesn't look like he did much in St. Louis, but they have a pretty strong DL too so he may not have gotten a lot of opportunities, or got hurt again.

He was a solid player here, never really had the success anywhere else. He'll probably be back on the cheap and he'll be another good rotational lineman

[emoulds80]

i think he will start at the 5 tech, dareus nt... wynn, charles, bryant as backups

[emoulds80]

they signed him to a 1 yr deal

[MillsapsBillsFan]

NFL Network says he was signed to a one year deal

[Skooby]

Glad he's back, good rotational player.

I forgot about that. Megahand!

[Mr. Pink]

Nice depth pick up.

[emoulds80]

Nice depth pick up.

he will start imo

[Ed]

I thought the Bills were going to use a pick for DL depth, but I like this better. Good solid vet that might be better than any of our other rotation guys. Welcome back Alex!

[Later]

Was surprised he's still only 27. Good rotational guy at least, in his athletic prime, still with some upside. A solid move all around.

Classic 3-4 ends that tie up blockers. When Wanny took over, his days at the Bills was over. Steelers looked at him for vet minimum, he decided to go to the Rams fro more money, a complete wrong move. Hope he can spell Kyle Williams when the games are out of reach.

whaley sucks

Carrington's only flaw is that he didn't go to Florida State.

Stop it.

[/noting you didn't throw out the "bring back McCargo" though]

Or maybe he was not fully recovered from his injury last year in addition to the Rams having a good DL.
