The @buffalobills have held free agent visits with the following players: T Andre Smith DE Jayrone Elliott WR Jeremy Butler
10:15 AM - 13 Mar 2017
OT Andre SmithOffensive tackle Andre Smith had been mentioned over the weekend as a player of interest for the Bills. The former Bengals and Vikings right tackle only played four games in 2016 due to an arm injury. Since that news broke, the team did bring back 2016 starting right tackle Jordan Mills on a two-year deal so it’s unsure if Smith still interests Buffalo or if the team still interests him. DE Jayrone Elliott
Jayrone Elliott was a standout for the Toledo Rockets in the MAC prior to graduating in 2014. The 6-foot-3, 255-pound Elliott tested well at his Pro Day, with a 10-yard split of 1.6 seconds and a respectable 7.26 3-cone time. After going undrafted, Elliott signed for the Green Bay Packers, making their roster after impressive with five sacks in the 2014 preseason.
Over the past three seasons, Elliott has dressed for 38 out of 48 regular season games without logging a start. The former Rocket has 57 tackles, four sacks, an interception and forced fumble to his name as a professional. Elliott also plays special teams, seeing action on 40.4-percent of Packers ST snaps in 2016. WR Jeremy ButlerFinally, the team announced a visit from former UT-Martin star wide receiver Jeremy Butler. Like Elliott, Butler went undrafted in the 2014 NFL Draft but found his chances of making the Baltimore Ravens roster limited by a shoulder injury. After trying to make the roster again in 2015, Butler was released before coming back on their practice squad.
In October 2015, Butler got his chance playing in eight games and hauling in 31 receptions for 363 yards. It was the same injury crisis that allowed fellow receiver Kamar Aiken to lead the team in receptions. Butler bounced around in 2016 after being released, seeing time with both the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New York Jets before signing for the San Diego Chargers. He appeared for the Chargers four times, catching two passes for 11 yards.
