(But it seems like there's a lot of that... what do they get for being camp fodder/mentors? Hope?) hes literally the 90th guy on the roster. He showed up for the workout in shape to be able to compete - but that doesn't mean he will make the team. Otoh he knows what he's doing rather than another UDFA out of college. It's probably an attitude/approach/experience/film room addition more than anything. I Still do not understand why people have an issue with a HC signing camp bodies he is familiar with. It is the norm! I get people don't trust Rex on personnel... For some reason. But it's not like he went and signed any starters from the Jets other than Harvin who is a pseudo Jet. It probably went something like this - Whaley - we need a vet OT for camp. Vet min. Here is who is out there. Rex - Hunter is a guy I think could be beneficial in camp Whaley- OK Edited June 30, 2015 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure is competing for a job. but not really. he is getting paid to help these very important rookies get up to speed. Richardson Kujo Henderson and Miller et al. if he make it he earned it, Rex is using his previous students to help the Team. i may be waay off. but if true thats pretty smart. like bringing Connor FB in. Incognito too when you think about it. Whaley tried to bring in players that had been " there " and won. and or 1st round flops. he did that for Marrone.

I vaguely remember him being a turnstile for Mario. OTs who are not dominated by Mario Williams are not available to be the 90th guy in your roster in June. He isn't good but most fringe guys rounding out a camp roster aren't good. I'm not defending the guy as if to say I love the signing, I just don't see it as a big deal. He's here for a reason, if he ever has to play is when I will be upset. But I'd be just as upset if UDFA Tyson chandler had to play and he is your other depth option.

I see this as nothing more than Rex doing Hunters bank account a favor even if it means just for training camp A player doesn't spend 9 years in the league because they are terrible. Everybody can't be elite. Or a star. He's an average NFL grinder. He stuck around, more than likely, for the reasons some on here are stating: he works hard, he can mentor young players on the field, in the classroom, and he will compete. He's been out of a ball for a couple years, yet, when he had an opportunity he showed up in shape and ready. There's a lot to be said for that. Same way Incognito was ready for his workout in the winter. Bills are young along the o-line. Vets, at least for camp, are always helpful. And every team has similar players during camp. It's not tough for him to teach how to be prepared. He's also been in the league 9 years. He's probably familiar with most types of offenseive concepts and techniques. Many coaches use vets to help them with exactly that type of teaching. He's a worst case scenario that Rex and co. are comfortable with. If it wasn't him it would be another OT. Might as well be someone whose work ethic he knows. It's not a big deal. Edited July 1, 2015 by purple haze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
