Bills free agent targets 2015: Mike Iupati to sign with Arizona Cardinals

For several weeks, buttressed by pseudo-reports from the likes of Jason La Canfora, the Buffalo Bills had been linked to former San Francisco 49ers guard Mike Iupati in free agency. The reason: Iupati had played four of his five pro seasons for new Bills offensive coordinator Greg Roman.

Whether or not the Bills were actually interested in pursuing Iupati and his rich price tag is now irrelevant, however, because ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Iupati will be signing with the Arizona Cardinals.

The Bills signed guard Richie Incognito back in early February, but are still in the market for upgrades to what was one of the NFL's worst offensive lines last season. They have also been linked to Green Bay Packers right tackle Bryan Bulaga in free agency, as well.
