‘Green becomes the first player to join the Bills since the NFL’s free-agency period opened Friday. He fills a significant need on a team that lacks depth at tackle after starter Brad Butler retired last month and with Demetrius Bell recovering from a knee injury.’

‘Green (6’6" 315) is Buffalo’s first signing of the free agent period, which began last Friday. A 10-year NFL veteran, Green is expected to man the right tackle position left vacant by the sudden retirement of Brad Butler last month. He’s spent the last three seasons playing mostly right tackle for the Oakland Raiders.’

‘Green (6’6″ 315) is a 10-year NFL veteran that has played both left and right tackle in his career. He’s spent the last three seasons playing mostly right tackle for the Oakland Raiders. Green has also played for Tampa Bay and Denver in his career. He was also on the roster of the New York Jets for his first two seasons in the league, but did not appear in any games.’

‘The Bills have been unclear about their quarterback situation, though they have given hints that Trent Edwards might get another shot at the starting job. But the fact that the Bills reportedly will work out Tebow in a private setting is an indication that they will continue to consider other options.’

‘I’m sure new general manager Buddy Nix and new coach Chan Gailey would like to bolster the roster with a few quality free agents. Unfortunately, it is not their money to spend. And the sad reality is that the Bills don’t have as much money to spend as many other teams. When the Bills do spend money, it usually isn’t spent wisely.’

‘While the 5-foot-10, 210-pound Reed did not enjoy his most productive year last season (27 catches, 291 yards), it’s important to remember the woeful offense he played in, as well as the quarterback troubles the Bills endured.’

‘The Buffalo Bills and Seattle Seahawks want to see what Tim Tebow can do in person.’
