EDTShareTweetShareSharePotential Buffalo Bills target: draft analysts¡¯ take on Montez SweatBrian Spurlock-USA TODAY SportsThe Buffalo Bills didn¡¯t add any marquee pass rushers in free agency like they wanted to. They did their homework on multiple guys like Trey Flowers and Ziggy Ansah, and while Ansah is still available, his medical checks might be what are holding teams back from taking a flier on him. Montez Sweat would fill an immediate need for the Bills as an EDGE defender. Joe Marino of The Draft Network and Lance Zierlein of NFL.com have this to say about Sweat:Joe MarinoLance ZierleinDuring his junior and senior season in college, after he got settled in at Mississippi State, Sweat flourished for the Bulldogs defense. Over 26 games, Sweat recorded 101 total tackles, including 26 sacks and 30 tackles for loss. His final two years of production are what NFL teams are looking for at the next level. Outside of Jerry Hughes White Rafael Bush Jerseys , the Bills¡¯ pass rush is nonexistent. Between Shaq Lawson and Trent Murphy, Sweat would be an immediate upgrade over the other pass rushers on the roster. Sweat should be on the board at ninth overall, but it just takes one team in front of them to fall in love with him. ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP)Eric Wood can finally announce he¡¯s retiring after the Buffalo Bills released the veteran center in a move considered a formality after he was diagnosed with a career-ending neck injury in January.The NFL transactions list on Thursday listed the Bills reaching an injury settlement and releasing Wood under the designation: ¡±Termination of vested veteran.¡±The decision by the Bills ends a lengthy waiting period for the team and Wood.By waiting until Thursday, the Bills limited the effect the player¡¯s remaining bonus money will have on their salary cap. The more than $10 million in bonus money owed to Wood will now only count against the team¡¯s salary cap this year rather than be spread over the two years left on the contract.Wood declined to comment on being released by the Bills in a text to The AP. Wood did say he¡¯s planning to attend Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly¡¯s annual charitable auction and golf tournament in Buffalo this weekend.Though Wood said he¡¯ll never play again, the nine-year veteran balked at the last minute to announce his retirement during a news conference in January.Wood read from a prepared statement and spoke for less than two minutes in revealing end of season tests discovered two discs being dangerously close to his spinal cord.¡±Thanks to everyone who supported me throughout my career. And because of that, I am here today Rafael Bush Jerseys 2019 ,¡± Wood said. ¡±I¡¯m sure there are a lot of unanswered questions. I hope to address those at a later date. Thanks, and go Bills.¡±According to the NFL¡¯s collective bargaining agreement, teams could have asked for a portion of bonus money to be returned if a player retired before his contract expired. There was, however, a gray area if a player retired as a result of a career-ending injury.Wood is from Cincinnati and spent four seasons playing at Louisville before being selected by the Bills with their second of two first-round picks in the 2009 draft. Wood earned a starting job entering his rookie season and appeared in 121 games, including one in the playoffs.He was a respected team leader, popular in the community for his charitable work White Matt Milano Jerseys , and was the team¡¯s Walter Payton Man of the Year nominee in 2015 and `16.Aside from Wood, Buffalo¡¯s offensive line must also replace starting left guard Richie Incognito, who abruptly retired in April and was then released by the Bills earlier this month.¡ª
