The Bills are still looking to add to their talent pool before the 2007 season begins. Buffalo hosted veteran safety Donovin Darius Tuesday at One Bills Drive.
The 10-year veteran has twice been a Pro Bowl alternate and a starter at safety since the Jacksonville Jaguars made him one of the club's two first-round picks in 1998. He led the secondary in tackles his first seven seasons and has recorded six 100 tackle seasons in his career.
Darius, who will turn 32 in August, has had a pair of serious injuries each of the last two seasons. The Jaguars all-time leading tackler played in just two games in 2005 before tearing his ACL forcing him to miss the rest of the season. Last year he started the first 10 games before a broken leg ...more
The Bills obviously have two solid young safeties in Whitner and Simpson but behind them there isn't much. Retread Bowen didn't work out last year, and the Bills could use depth at the position. Bringing in a 32 year old veteran could help push the young guys and provide much needed depth. Who knows if Darius is looking to start and what kind of contract he is looking for.Then again if he can't start at defensive tackle he doesn't fill the biggest need on the Buffalo Bills defense. At least the Bills are still bringing in dudes before camp starts July 26th.
