Free Agency Update: Bills re-sign Florence, add returner

   Closing out the first day of (unofficial) free agency, the Bills agreed to terms with one of their outstanding free agents.  Starting cornerback Drayton Florence agreed to a contract worth $15 million for three years.

   On Thursday afternoon, Buffalo added versatile player Brad Smith, who spent his previous five years with the New York Jets.  The deal was reportedly worth $15 million for four years.  Smith is mostly known for his explosive return skills and talents for the Wildcat formation.  He could be used as a wide reciver, running back or even third quarterback.

  Seventh round pick Michael Jasper (DT, Bethel University) was the team's first draft pick to sign.  Terms of the contract were not yet available.

   The team also announced the signing of 19 undrafted rookie free agents.  They include: Danny Aiken (LS, Virginia), Kamar Aiken (WR, Central Florida), Rajiric Coleman (S, Utah State), Domonic Cook (DB, Buffalo), Robert Eddins (LB, Ball State), Reid Forrest (P, Washington State), Sidney Glover (S, West Virginia), Chris Hazley (K, Virginia Tech), Brandon Hicks (LB, Florida), Brad Jefferson (LB, Georgia Tech), T.J. Langley (DE, Arkansas Tech), Loyce Means (CB, Houston), Doyle Miller (CB, Nevada), Emmanuel Moody (RB, Florida), Joshua Nesbitt (QB/S, Georgia Tech), Zach Pianalto (TE, North Carolina), Michael Switzer (G, Ball State), Vai Taua (RB, Nevada), Isaiah Thompson (OT, Houston).
