JoeF Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 Bryan Scott Re-Signed Bryan Scott back Veteran safety Bryan Scott was due to hit unrestricted free agency on Friday, but instead he re-signed with the Bills. Scott agreed to terms on a two-year contract with Buffalo. Scott started the first three games of the season at strong safety, missed five games with an ankle injury, then started the next six games at weak-side linebacker, due to the Bills' rash of injuries at that position. Jairus Byrd is the Bills' starting free safety. The Bills now have three players in the fold who have started at strong safety - Donte Whitner, George Wilson and Scott. ---Mark Gaughan
bkc Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 Bills re-signed S Bryan Scott to a two-year contract. Buffalo was so banged up last year at linebacker that Scott had to drop down and start on the weak side late in the season. He'll move back to strong safety in 2010 as a third-stringer behind Donte Whitner and George Wilson. The Bills have also been rumored to have Whitner on the trade block. Source: Buffalo News

Steely Dan Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 Now they need to re-sign Incognito. Not because I believe he's at all essential but just to get the whiners to shut up.
Ghost of Rob Johnson Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 With this resigning you have to think the writing is on the wall for Whitner.
BillsGuyInMalta Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 Great news...even better news is if this leads to Donte getting shipped out. I'd love to go into this season with Byrd and Wilson as our Safeties.
PNW_Bills_Fan Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 With this resigning you have to think the writing is on the wall for Whitner. This year I think is going to be a trading frenzy. Whitner has some trade value. Very smart to put him on the block.
bkc Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 Great news...even better news is if this leads to Donte getting shipped out. I'd love to go into this season with Byrd and Wilson as our Safeties. can't say i disagree, but all these first round misses are like a kick to the head
BillsGuyInMalta Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 So is Buddy batting .500 since most people hated not tendering Incognito but like Scott re-signing?
Justice Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 First signing? More like the last signing of the night, tonight. You all can go to bed now.
PushthePile Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 Good for Bryan Scott, I'm glad he was rewarded. Scott and Ellison are going to be solid to above average backups. Personally, I'd like to see Scott on the field often. They both can play special teams and serve as backups. Didn't Nix make it clear that STs only players were going to be weeded out? I think these guys are going to fit the bill and replace the Wendlings/ Bowens of the team.
SawchukBills Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 Great news...even better news is if this leads to Donte getting shipped out. I'd love to go into this season with Byrd and Wilson as our Safeties. Does this mean I'm going to have to delete him from my friends list on facebook? Haha
BillsGuyInMalta Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 Does this mean I'm going to have to delete him from my friends list on facebook? Haha He would cry about it on Twitter for days. Then he'd let a surefire INT bounce off his hands.
High Mark Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 Whitner is going to be the FS backup/potential Nickel guy. Even with Byrd last season, we had 3 safeties on the field quiet often. Whitner was never fully benched for Byrd Either. Bottom line is he is more valuable to this team than any draft pick trading him would produce. We need to get past this trade Whitner debate until he is in fact traded.
High Mark Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 I for one am suprised. I think any GM who did their hw would have been after Scott hard once FA opened. I expected him to hold out for more money with another team. Love that we retain him.
