The Buffalo Bills are reportedly getting ready to sign a former Green Bay Packers tight end. The Bills have shown interest in several former Packers players lately, including working out running back Kylin Hill Monday.
It might not hurt the Bills to add a few former Packers players. Now that Aaron Rodgers is in the division, the Bills could use some inside information to stay on top of the scouting report for their matchups against the New York Jets this season. The Jets have several former Packers players and an offensive coordinator on their team.
