Bills sign Drayton Florence

from PFT

The Buffalo Bills have agreed to terms with free agent cornerback Drayton Florence, striking a two-year deal worth $6.6 million that can grow to as much as $7.3 million with incentives, according to a league source.

Florence was cut by the Jacksonville Jaguars following last season.

Florence had been linked to the San Diego Chargers as a possible re-signing, but the Bills pulled the trigger on Florence tonight.

Um, not sure how to feel about this one. He was cut by the Jags for a reason. This clearly rules out Greer returning and ends any cornerback issues the team had.

The dude isn't a real ball hawk, five interceptions total the last 3 years, but has stayed healthy playing at least 15 games each of the last 3 years. Yet another blah signing from OBD. Here is what was said about him yesterday.

Some other interesting tid bits. Dude signed a massive contract last year with JAX so somebody must have saw something in him before a mediocre 2008 campaign. Also from his "wikipedia page" Dude sounds like kind of a cheap shot balla, i like it "The NFL fined San Diego Chargers cornerback Drayton Florence $15,000 for the illegal hit he put on Houston Texans Quarterback Matt Schaub on Sunday October 28th. On an interception return, Florence drilled Schaub from the blind side, and he was penalized 15 yards for unnecessary roughness."
