Report: Joey Porter To Visit With Bills

Our Bills blog, Buffalo Rumblings, has noted a report that linebacker Joey Porter will meet with the team on Tuesday:

In an interview with Sirius satellite radio today Sal Cappaccio broke the news that Dolphins linebacker Joey Porter will be in Buffalo on Tuesday for a free agent visit. 

Porter, an 11-year veteran, asked the Dolphins to trade him in February. The Dolphins eventually released him. Buffalo Rumblings points out that Porter could fit well with the Bills.

He has 92 career sacks and has played in the 3-4 his entire career. 

The Bills have no linebackers on their roster that have played in a 3-4 alignment and Porter would add experience to the outside linebacker position.  He would also bring a pass-rushing presence and an aggressive attitude that are both sorely lacking on the Bills' squad.  Porter is familiar with new Bills defensive coordinator George Edwards, who was the linebackers coach in Miami until leaving following the 2009 season.

We'll update as we learn more. Until then, check out Buffalo Rumblings for all things Bills.
