‘"When I was at Detroit and I coached him there with the Lions, I wanted to move him then," said Kugler. "Then he went to Houston and they tried to move him. Matt really has a lot of attributes that’s going to help him be an offensive lineman. He has very long arms, he has excellent feet. Somebody might say he’s slower for a tight end, but he’s faster for a lineman."’

‘If he had managed to play every game, Lynch may well have taken away an all-star spot from the man whose job he assumed.

‘James’ agent, Ronald Benson Slavin, confirmed the contract agreement Tuesday. Slavin said James turned down offers from the Houston Texans and Philadelphia Eagles because the Bills offered the best opportunity to start.’

‘James is a seven-year NFL veteran who spent the past two seasons with the Eagles. He bolsters a depleted Bills defensive secondary, and is expected to immediately compete with Jabari Greer for a starting job opposite Terrence McGee.’

‘Terms of his deal were not released. This will be Scott’s 6th year in the NFL.’

‘The signing of Scott has added depth to the defensive backfield, as Buffalo now has six safeties on the roster, including Simpson, Jon Corto, John Wendling, Donte Whitner and George Wilson.’
