Rookie free agents = able bodies who rarely make the team, we only have two backs in camp which is why we brought in two running backs and a fullback

...Ethan Kilmer was a special teams ace for Penn State this season, picked up by nobody at all after the draft, which aggravates me, Anwar Phillips was a 3rd-4th round pick on some boards and he had to be signed undrafted by Buffalo I believe

I think we should of tried to get Dwayne Slay. & why havent we tried to get DonTrell Moore (RB NM) or Gerrald Riggs (RB Tenn. U) or Martin Nance (WR Miami (Oh))....?/ Those are the guys I think could of been good additions.

Brett said in his press conference that there was a lot of talent on the team and that some of them are going to emerge as good players. Like Sam Gado they just need an opportunity to show their talent.

There is usually one undrafted free agent who is impressive enough to make the finally 53. Brett said that there will be a lot of talented guys cut.

There were a few extra guys at the mini-camp trying out for the team.

We didn't try to get them? Where was that reported?

The Journal-News reports the Buffalo Bills have signed undrafted rookie free agent WR Martin Nance (Miami (Ohio)). "It's a done deal," Nance said Sunday night, April 30, from his home in St. Louis. "I'm headed to Buffalo on Thursday. That's when they'll have their minicamp."
