joshsin Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 http://twitter.com/Adam_Schefter Buffalo signed veteran LB Chris Draft and S Todd Johnson today. EDIT Draft wins linebacker tryout in Buffalo Posted by Mike Florio on October 13, 2009 5:51 PM ET With multiple season-ending linebacker injuries on Sunday, the Bills brought in seven of them from tryouts on Tuesday. Per a league source, the candidates were Chris Draft, Alex Lewis, Patrick Thomas, Anthony Waters, Matt Wilhelm, Leon Williams, and Jamie Winborn. And the job with the crappy 1-4 team went to . . . Chris Draft. The Bills also tried out one defensive back, Todd Johnson. And they signed him.
FutureBillsGM Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 I suggested Draft a while back as the only viable MLB option available in free agency. Seems like a decent signing at this point. http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/index.php?...l=futurebillsgm
Cash Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 Anyone know anything about Todd Johnson? At least his signing means the Bills are moving Nic Harris back to LB. So do we think they'll go Palmer, Ellison, Harris, or keep Harris on the bench for Draft or Corto?
joshsin Posted October 13, 2009 Author Posted October 13, 2009 I doubt the team even knows what it is doing at this point
todd Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 So I like the Daft move, but two linebackers went down. So you sign a linebacker and a CB? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? THE BILLS ARE GOING TO CHANGE SOMEONE'S POSITION AGAIN FOM DB TO LB? I'm gonna puke. Great way to address an issue in a backwards, half-assed way. This front office is so stupid I'm more astounded day after day. Russ Brandon and the entire personnel staff needs to go. Anyone know anything about Todd Johnson? At least his signing means the Bills are moving Nic Harris back to LB. So do we think they'll go Palmer, Ellison, Harris, or keep Harris on the bench for Draft or Corto?

Overall, he has started 85 out of 139 games played in the NFL. Considering I started a thread today predicting the Bills would only sign a practice player LB from another team, I am extremely impressed with this emergancy pick up by the inner circle jerks! He has very respectable stats and has played a long time in the NFL. If nothing else, maybe he can offer some words of wisdom and / or encouragement to this foundering football team.

He can offer words of encouragement? I'd rather he takes someone's head off. Seriously tho he is a good pickup. Played for STL last year and many thought he was their best LB and were surprised when he was released.
PastaJoe Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 Meanwhile Junior Seau will be rejoining the Pats...
Major Mud Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 I want Harris and Freeman to bust out. Freeman got cut today.
VJ91 Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 He can offer words of encouragement? I'd rather he takes someone's head off.... So would I, as long as he runs through Perry Fool's proper "gaps" first. You know Perry, his guys are always in the correct schemes to be successful, they just keep making mistakes. Despite Mitchell and Buggs going down Sunday, Fool's defense played lights out against the Browns, to be serious and fair for a milisecond here. I hope Draft has a great week of practice and is ready to play some this week however. The Jets offense had no problems what so ever scoring all night - it was their defense that surprisingly sucked against Miami.

This front office is so stupid I'm more astounded day after day. Russ Brandon and the entire personnel staff needs to go. GR550 reported that Poz is hoping to be cleared to play this week. Draft and Poz fill the 2 LB spots along with Harris for depth. They were desperately thin a safety too.
tonyd19 Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 Draft is a really good guy. Seriously. If he were that good, he would have been without work for the last 5 weeks.......but I guess there is not a lot out there right now at MLB.

BEAST MODE BABY! Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Draft is a really good guy. Seriously. Like Jauron good?

billsfreak Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Draft is a really good guy. Seriously. Mike Williams was a really good guy too. Actually, Erik Flowers was really cool too.
Shoto Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 AT least now he'll qualify for hos NFL retirement
