Saxum Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2016/08/31/report-bills-claim-patrick-lewis/ The Bills have claimed center Patrick Lewis via waivers. The Seahawks waived Lewis Tuesday. He started nine games at center last season but this summer had fallen to second on the depth chart behind Justin Britt. With the Bills, Lewis will presumably compete with Fernando Velasco for the backup center job behind Eric Wood. http://nfltraderumors.co/bills-claim-ol-patrick-lewis-off-waivers-seahawks/ Lewis, 25, originally signed on with the Packers as an undrafted free agent out of Texas A&M back in 2013. He lasted just a few months in Green Bay before catching on with the Browns, Jaguars, and Seahawks. The Seahawks re-signed Lewis to a one-year, $1.671 million contract back in April.
Saxum Posted August 31, 2016 Author Posted August 31, 2016 Damn, you're quick! Even quicker than that -- I posted in another 2 threads and realized they would get buried so I deleted one and started a new thread.
Nanker Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 This could be a very good pickup for The Bills. Valesco hasn't shown much this off season.
Blokestradamus Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 I've seen so much criticism of Lewis over the past year or so from Seahawks fans. One guy I trust thinks he's capable as a starting C in the league. Can't be worse than Velasco, that's for sure.
Doc Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 My Lindy's said about him "play of line improved markedly when he took over starting role at mid-season." He started 9 games for them last year. Sounds like a future replacement for Wood.

White Linen Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 I'll admit I don't know much about Lewis but I like that we're active.
HuSeYiN_NYC Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 I'll admit I don't know much about Lewis but I like that we're active. This. I like this part of the NFL season almost as much as the draft.
aristocrat Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 I'll admit I don't know much about Lewis but I like that we're active. started 9 games for the hawks makes me think he has some talent
r00tabaga Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 At least we know Patrick Lewis can't lose Actually I think you meant Peter Parker cant lose. 😉
Blokestradamus Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 started 9 games for the hawks makes me think he has some talent He's a rarity. He's a Seahawks OL that actually played OL in college.
John from Riverside Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 center's can usually also play guard.....so it is good to see the bills are addressing backup interior OL
Nanker Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 Kallage bio Lewis and Johnny Foosball Seahawks tried to trade him... no takers. Good move by Whales to pick him up.
26CornerBlitz Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 Either Velasco or Groy is gonna get turked.
Blokestradamus Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 Either Velasco or Groy is gonna get turked. If they want to keep Kouandjio and Henderson, both might.
Chilly Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 The fact this guy couldn't cut it on the terrible Seahawks line makes me VERY skeptical about this pickup.
