The Bills kept them on the practice squad in 2008 for a reason. Now looking ahead to 2009 Buffalo made sure to keep all of them in the fold, signing all seven players on the squad at season’s end to future free agent contracts.

OL Chris Denman, LB Vince Hall, WR C.J. Hawthorne, WR Felton Huggins, WR Mike Jefferson, OL Brandon Rodd and DL Marcus Smith.

The only reason is they get to be warm bodies for training camp and in the summer.

I will say, Hall was once a pretty highly thought of LB from V Tech. And that Mike Jefferson kid looked pretty decent on Hard Knocks this past summer…ha….

This isn’t exactly news, every team in the league will bring almost everybody (if not everybody) who is an ERFA back into training camp because they are so cheap. That said, Corto and Bryan made the team out of camp and Costanzo was active almost the entire year and had a great special teams season. It is always worth keeping an eye on these guys in OTAs, training camp and the preseason.

I hope we don’t have a handful of these guys making the team again….shows how poor the talent is on this team if undrafted and street free agents keep making the team….

I pretty much agree. You do need 53 guys to make the team though and after injuries, you end up with a bunch more guys on the roster. You need Blake Costanzo’s to fill cheap, important special teams roles and George Wilson types to be decent backups.
