LB Spragan on radar

Veteran free-agent linebacker Donnie Spragan is on the Bills' radar and we're hearing he's expected to come to town for a visit with the team today. Spragan is a seven-year veteran who spent the past three years with Miami and three years before that with Denver. He's a 6-foot-3, 242-pounder. He started five games for the Fish last year, and nine in both 2006 and 2005. He was a full-time starter for Denver in 2004. If he signed, he would make competition for a backup outside job more intense. Right now, the outside backups are Keith Ellison, Iowa State rookie Alvin Bowen (just drafted in the fifth round) and Blake Costanzo. Spragan's best spot is on the strong side, which would be behind Angelo Crowell.

A Dolphin cast-off. Pardon me if I am more excited about the Army fullback and Joe Brockington...I am, by the way. Brockington was very good at Notre Dame and service academy players are awesome!
