Veteran CB Added: Adam Schefter of the NFL Network reports that the Bills have agreed to terms on a two year deal with veteran free agent CB William James. Formerly known as Will Peterson the former Giant and Eagle visited with the Bills last week. James struggled with injuries in 2005 and 2006 suffering from a bad back. He rounded back into shape last year startiing six games for Philadelphia. He feels he can be a starter again. He is more of an outside defensive back and he may battle Jabari Greer for a starting job. He adds valuable, experienced depth to the defensive backfield.
Bills Re-sign Scott: The Bills took care of one of their own free agents today. They re-signed Bryan Scott to an undisclosed deal. Scott was signed as an injury replacement and made two starts last year. He is a solid hitter who was used a lot on safety blitzes. He's also a good tackler and can play both free and strong safety.

Bills Looking At Prospects: The Bills seem to have turned their attention to the draft to fill their wide receiver needs now that they lost out on Bryant Johnson. Reports say they have a visit lined up with Michigan State's Devin Thomas. He is the only first round receiver prospect with return experience as well. He's projected to go near the later end of the first round, so the Bills may be looking to trade down and still get him. Thomas is 6'2" tall and has a 33" vertical jump.
