Bills player visits

Free agents ILB Andra Davis and DE Dwan Edwards have visited the Bills, and draft prospect QB Colt McCoy is set to visit next month. All three would be good fits for the Bills. Davis is one of the best run-stuffing linebackers in the league, and was a surprise cut by the Broncos after posting a 90-tackle, 3.5-sack season. He has spent the last four seasons in 3-4 defense, so he'd bring much-needed experience as the Bills transition to their first season in the 3-4. He also has ties to new Bills Defensive Coordinator George Edwards: Edwards was his linebackers coach in Cleveland. Dwan Edwards can play several positions along the defensive line, and showed last season that he is fully recovered from spinal surgery, as he reached a career-high with 47 tackles. Edwards also has 3-4 experience. One interesting side note here is that both Davis and Edwards said that former Bills recommended Buffalo to them as a great place to play. Davis said former Denver teammate LB Mario Haggan talked to him for about thirty minutes about playing in Buffalo, and Edwards said that former Ravens teammate DE Justin Bannan gave Buffalo high marks in conversation. QB McCoy will probably be available in the second or third round and would fit into Head Coach Chan Gailey's planned quarterback competition with Trent Edwards, Ryan Fitzpatrick, and Brian Brohm. McCoy has all the tools but would need some time to adjust to running an NFL-style offense.
