3) Kroy Biermann

Such is the concern with the Bills current lack of depth, it was no surprise they went looking for reinforcements. Help arrived on Monday with the addition of Biermann, a former Atlanta Falcons draft pick.

The question is, what can the soon-to-be 31-year old bring to the Bills? He has a wealth of experience, having played eight years in Georgia, albeit with only two campaigns as a regular starter.

Biermann has been remarkably durable during his NFL career, only once failing to play in every game, after suffering a season-ending torn Achilles tendon early in 2013. In total, he has 23.5 sacks, three forced fumbles, two interceptions and 300 total tackles.

Under normal circumstances, the Hardin, Montana native wouldn’t be considered for a starting spot. However, expect him to challenge for playing time, helped by the lack of healthy bodies and his versatility, which has seen him line up at outside linebacker, defensive end and even nose tackle.
