Mark Long Beach Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 (edited) Thought I'd just start a central list for all of the former Bills players signings and news.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I saw Ron Edwards re-sign. I always loved the guy when he played here, though he had all those shoulder injuries. Always showed real flashes. Nice to see him having a solid career in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solid but unspectacular; A true survivor in a tough business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWest Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 How the hell is Takeo Spikes still playing? That may be a good thing for us... San Diego has some decent LB's that are free agents... Maybe we can pick up more of the scraps and build a time machine to 2006 and have a good corp with Merrimen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though, it took a few years for his Achilles to truly heel (pun intended). He's been a solid player but no longer a pro-bowl caliber one. He's also transitioned to playing in a 3-4 successfully. He'd start for us over Andra Davis at SILB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Long Beach Posted July 28, 2011 Author Share Posted July 28, 2011 John Wendling Detroit. Not sure what's going on with Nate as his camp is denying he's been released by the 49rs. He pretty much has to be cut with a $17.5m cap hit this year just by himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Long Beach Posted July 28, 2011 Author Share Posted July 28, 2011 Stroud cut from the Pats*. Apparently he isn't healthy from the "minor" Surgery in January. We released him officially because of a failed physical. It looks like he may be done. http://www.necn.com/07/28/11/Report-Patriots-cut-Stroud/landing_sports.html?blockID=544283&feedID=3352 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Barbarian Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Spikes is still playing because his Dr was the guy in buffalo who got caught smuggling PED's (HGH) over the Canadian border HGH doesn't enhance performance it speeds healing. I think all pro sports should have medically supervised PEDs so athletes can play better, have longer careers and better health while giving us the best product on the field.

NoSaint Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Isn't it weird that a team can cut you for failing a physical (which is the result of an injury sustained while playing for that team)? Especially when the injury came in buffalo, and he was healthy enough to sign in feb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
