It is an annual fascination for the hardest of hardcore NFL fans to tirelessly track undrafted free agent signings. After three days of covering the 2013 NFL Draft non-stop, I'm going to bow out of the Twitter and message board tracking that accompanies this work, and leave it to y'all to collect rumors surrounding the Buffalo Bills and undrafted players as you see fit. I'll update the post again tomorrow morning with whatever the gang collects, and we'll obviously cover signings when they're officially announced.
Let's start the discussion with this, however: do not be surprised at all if the Bills target another quarterback. GM Buddy Nix made it clear in his post-draft press conference that he "very seriously" considered taking another signal caller in the late rounds, and a player that the team showed a ton of interest in pre-draft - Tennessee quarterback Tyler Bray - went undrafted. Another quarterback the Bills brought in for a pre-draft visit, Matt Scott, also was not picked. The team would be wise to try to sign one of those players, because as far as I'm concerned, they can't have enough talented quarterback prospects on the team.
Have fun, folks. I'll be writing another post for tomorrow morning and then stepping away from the computer, lest my eyes burst into flames. See you when the sun rises.
UPDATE, 7:30 AM 4/28: These are the Bills' unconfirmed undrafted free agent signings (via NEPatriotsDraft.com) as of this morning. Emphasis on the word "unconfirmed," as these are largely still rumors; we won't be covering these players in any capacity outside of this post until the Bills announce the signings, or an until an agent or a reporter confirms.
