thebandit27 Posted April 7, 2016 Posted April 7, 2016 Looks like he's made 8 starts over the last 2 years for Carolina--all at guard. Previously started 16 games in 2012 for Tennessee and 11 in 2013 for Pittsburgh--all at center. Looks indeed like they've got their gameday interior backup Fernando....that's a fun name to say..... Can't believe nobody else has done it yet...

Kirby Jackson Posted April 7, 2016 Posted April 7, 2016 Another decent depth signing. That's a few in the last week that will make the team.
26CornerBlitz Posted April 7, 2016 Author Posted April 7, 2016 @JohnMurphyShow New #Bills OL Fernando Velsaco in studio with us tonight 810pm @Fernandochoices
707BillsFan Posted April 7, 2016 Posted April 7, 2016 I know it's the off season, but I hope he puts on a little weight and starts to focus a little more on football (instead of tennis, baseball, etc..)

God, I remember that song as a little kid in the back of the woodwagon bouncing around coming back from Super Duper as no one wore seat belts back then.
3rdand12 Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 I definitely believe the Bills will be looking to draft a guard/center in the mid-rounds. If Richie should go down, guard gets extremely thin. but they just picked one up. But Bills should be on the lookout for a prospect to replace and upgrade Eric before much longer too. His family is from Columbia. One can only hope his paperwork is in order Should the Donald be in office by superbowl week. lol'd
26CornerBlitz Posted April 8, 2016 Author Posted April 8, 2016 Fernando Velasco: "Never going to be outworked" (13:11)Newly signed OL Fernando Velasco sat down on The John Murphy Show to discuss his 8-year NFL career, going from undrafted free agent to full-time starter, his experience last season in Carolina, and his relationship with his current offensive line teammates.

Dennis in NC Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 He looks marvelous. It is better to look good than to feel good!
billsfan89 Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 Another low key depth acquisition, I think they will likely draft an O-line later and have them compete with Fernando. Basically it is good to have a vet option to replace Urbik.
GunnerBill Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 (edited) I'm guessing he is cheaper than Urbik was too? Pleased by this. I remember his starts at centre in Pittsburgh. He is serviceable. He will make the team. Edited April 8, 2016 by GunnerBill
