Bills Free Agency News Part II
Hello Bills fans. Well it looks like the reports of Bryant Johnson signing with the Bills were false. Johnson was in Buffalo yesterday for a visit but no contract was signed. The Bills are still interested but maybe his asking price was too high. The team also hosted three free agents today. Tight end Ben Troupe, fullback Corey McIntyre, and safety Marlon McCree visited One Bills Drive. Troupe is a big tight end from the Titans that had a big season in 2005. The last two years he didnt have many catches but did contribute on special teams. McIntyre is a bruising fullback that would open up some huge holes for Marshawn Lynch. He is also a great special teams player and was the captain for the Falcons. McCree is a free safety that had a good season with the Chargers. He had 3 interceptions last season and would bring veteran leadership to a young secondary. McCree has narrowed his choice down to the Bills and Broncos. He is scheduled to meet with Denver tomorrow. I would love to see the Bills sign both Troupe and McIntyre. Both players would be upgrades and help the offense out tremendously.
On another note, the Bills have re-signed offensive lineman Matt Murphy. Murphy is a converted tight end that could develop into a quality backup tackle. The Bills had tremendous success doing this with all-pro Jason Peters.
