billsfanforever Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 New Orleans cut 15-year veteran center Jerry Fontenot, who lost his position to LeCharles Bentley, who moved over from guard. Fontenot, 37, started all 80 games the past five seasons and was selected as a Pro Bowl alternate last season. "I certainly hold my head high, knowing that I did everything the coaches asked of me and everything the organization asked of me," Fontenot said. "I feel very blessed in my career." ******************************************************* I think we should sign him what do you guys think.

DeeRay Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 Isn't he like 90? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typical TBD Guy Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 90, 37, whatever. Either way, he's certainly old. I hate saying this, but Trey Teague has had an impressive preseason. Let's stick with as much continuity as possible on the OL and not turn into the Redskins by signing every big name/no substance free agent.

millbank Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 They may do well to give him a look, last season he was backup pro bowl at his position, reading articles about him losing job to younger player he handled it with class, all the comments about him very positive, him acknowledging he is lost a bit since he started and is small by todays standards but feels he has succeeded because of his smarts and had no problem being backup and helping coach and help the younger players. He seems like a guy who would fit in very well and be a upgrade, cant see why not a look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just my impression, but the Bills don't seem to bring in many players for a look-see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
