Played as C well recently but was a backup. OG exp.

thebandit27 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 @BuffaloBillsPR Free agent center Fernando Velasco has arrived at One Bills Drive and is currently visiting with the @buffalobills. Played 116 snaps as a reserve for Carolina last year, and started 7 games in 2014 with Carolina. He also has experience starting in Pittsburgh (11 games in 2013) and Tennessee (16 games in 2012). Would probably be a good depth signing as a guy that would dress as the gameday interior backup, though I'm not sure if he's ever played guard.

John from Riverside Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 He would be a good get for the interior of the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

montanafan Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 I definitely believe the Bills will be looking to draft a guard/center in the mid-rounds. If Richie should go down, guard gets extremely thin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted April 7, 2016 Author Share Posted April 7, 2016 OL Fernando Velasco visits Bills The Bills welcomed free agent OL Fernando Velasco to One Bills Drive for a visit on Thursday.The Buffalo Bills have spent a majority of time this offseason surveying the free agent landscape on the defensive side of the ball.

JoeF Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 (edited) Pretty decent tennis player too. Two championships as a bantam weight as well..this guy has had a helluva life...Bo Jackson has nothing on him...lock the doors, don't let him leave without signing.

John from Riverside Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 I definitely believe the Bills will be looking to draft a guard/center in the mid-rounds. If Richie should go down, guard gets extremely thin. We only have so many picks in the draft though If they can get a veteran like this they can take this position off their draft board. This guy can fill in at 3 different positions.....your starters are set....and they probably have a practice squad guy and a UDFA guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 I like this potential move. There is a OC/OG player in the guard. Utah or some western school no one remembers. 4-6 rounder type. There is also one in the later draft mocks I see a lot. I can't think of the names Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted April 7, 2016 Author Share Posted April 7, 2016 @RyanTalbotBills Bills sign OG/C Fernando Velasco. Good to have a veteran option behind John Miller. http://www.scout.com/nfl/bills/story/1658903-bills-sign-ol-fernando-velasco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
