Likely reason the Bills cut him is they didn't want to pay $4M for a back up. I'd bring him in for a try out and maybe sign to vet min. He would only ever be on the field for 3rd & long so JH probably won't want.

This. Why not take a flyer on him?

How does that help?

I didn't even think he played in that many.

His achilles is all jacked up. He'll need another year to rehab (and juice). Maybe he'll be worth a loil next year.

The massive amount of steriods and then going off them promotes joint injuries. I think he is done. He's never been good or healthy since the roids.

Or the roids, o wait thats why his body is destroying itself. But really, Its hard to say he wouldn't be of any use to us. T Spikes, was a injury prone player, but did very well for us and stayed healthy.

Give him less than randy moss for a one year deal, an i'll get on the wagon.
