2020 Our Year For Sure Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 DE Babin in for Bills visit Chris Brown, Lead Journalist Posted 10 minutes ago The free agency parade continued at One Bills Drive Friday as Kansas City free agent defensive end Jason Babin was in Orchard Park to meet with the coaching staff. Babin was on three different NFL rosters in 2008, before finishing the season with the Chiefs. Just before the start of the regular season the pass rusher was traded to Seattle for safety Michael Boulware on Sept. 1 and Babin played against the Bills in the season opener. Three weeks later the Seahawks released him due to a rash of injuries at the receiver position. Babin was picked up by the Chiefs on Nov. 12 and played against the Bills again in Week 12. For the year he had 31 tackles and two sacks. He has 15 sacks in his six-year career, which has been limited due primarily to playing time opportunities. The pass rusher began his career as a 3-4 outside linebacker with the Houston Texans, who made him a first round pick in 2004. Babin has since bulked up to 260 pounds to play end for the Seahawks and Chiefs this past season. http://www.buffalobills.com/news/article-1...cc-06e1a97d34b7 LB Peterson visits with Bills Chris Brown, Lead Journalist Posted 4 minutes ago There would be nothing wrong with adding a proven veteran to Buffalo’s linebacking corps, and the Bills had another one in for a visit Friday as free agent Mike Peterson was touring the facilities and meeting the coaches at One Bills Drive. Peterson (6'1'', 238) is a 10-year veteran who played his last six seasons in Jacksonville where he played middle linebacker and served as defensive captain. He did have a falling out with Jaguars head coach Jack Del Rio, who removed him from the starting lineup for six games last season. The Jaguars' leading tackler in three of his six seasons in Jacksonville, Peterson also led the Colts in tackles one season during his first four years in Indianapolis. While with the Colts Peterson played outside linebacker, so it will be interesting to see were the Bills view the veteran as a possible fit. Bills defensive coordinator Perry Fewell did admit at the NFL Combine that moving middle linebacker Paul Posluszny outside is a possible option. Peterson turns 33 in June. Buffalo also hosted Tampa free agent Cato June for a visit on Wednesday this week. http://www.buffalobills.com/news/article-1...b6-2073e2b2d70c yup yup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartyBall4Buffalo Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 I wouldn't mind Peterson at all. Babin. Geez I really hope the draft proves to be the sh--. I dunno how bringing in the guy who led the KC Chiefs in sacks will improve a damn thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoner7 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 So not knowing who Jason Babin was exactly, I googled him. His Wikipedia page I found to be interesting. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Babin If you scroll down to the bottom, it says that he signed with the Bills March 6, 2008, which is clearly untrue. It says he signed a 3 year contract worth 12 million dollars. So I am assuming that it must be a typo because listed right before it is his time in KC. Because the news of him visiting just came out, I am assuming the poster on Wiki must have some kind of inside knowledge to have this up before the news of him visiting was even released. I will be itnerested to see if he signs, specifically for 3yrs/12 mill - anyone is better than Copelan Bryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breni Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 But somehow even more interesting is another qoute from Babin's Wikipedia page: "He was known for having a pre-game ritual where Friday nights before games Babin would eat an entire bucket of fried chicken bones and all to psych himself up" He would be a perfect fit, isn't it?

BillsVet Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Babin was, "limited due to playing time opportunities?" Amazing spin work there from Chris Brown. I'll translate and say he was a first round bust looking for his fourth team in 7 seasons. Have to give CB some credit there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBaumer Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 I would like Mike Peterson on this team.....maybe Stroud could do some convincing. The Bills have been lulling me to sleep which is right where they want me. I'll be happy with anything now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Trooth Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Babin certainly meets the Criteria for being a Bill... "C" list free agent with marginal backup potential. Git-r-done Russ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayFinkle Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Babin certainly meets the Criteria for being a Bill... "C" list free agent with marginal backup potential. Git-r-done Russ. He meets more than that. He is a "high motor" Defensive End (...you know, a white dude). This guys is as good as signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jreed82 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 I think we need Mike Peterson's aggressive style in the middle. Admittedly 33 years of age is about when LB's start losing a step but I think he has 2 good years left and moving Poz outside would be better for his career. We improve two positions with one move. Let's get this deal done. Can't believe we missed on Sean Jones. Another aggressive player who would have brought some balls to this defense.

San Jose Bills Fan Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Funny how Chris Brown referred to Babin twice as a pass rusher. Hope it wasn't too difficult for him to type while wearing the pom poms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
