McCree an interesting visitor
Free safety Marlon McCree, just cut by San Diego this week, is an interesting visitor to One Bills Drive. He was traveling to Buffalo today, a San Diego source said. He's a pretty solid veteran, an eight-year veteran who will turn 31 this month. San Diego cut him because they drafted Eric Weddle early in the second round last year and they want the talented Weddle to take over. McCree has 16 career interceptions in 89 starts. He's not a big-time playmaker, but he's viewed as solid all-around. This shows the Bills are willing to consider an upgrade to Ko Simpson, who's coming off a season in which he missed 15 games with a broken ankle. Simpson is a promising prospect. But he's still young. Last spring, the Bills brought in veteran free agent Donovan Darius for a visit as insurance behind Simpson but opted not to sign him. George Wilson, who did better than expected as the replacement free safety after Simpson got hurt, is the current No. 2 on the free safety depth chart.
