After a season-ending injury at the outside linebacker position in Saturday’s preseason opener, the Bills addressed the roster vacancy Monday in the form of free agent OLB Kroy Biermann. Biermann worked out Monday morning and signed a contract early in the afternoon.
Biermann, 30, has played his entire career for the Atlanta Falcons, who made him a fifth-round pick in the 2008 NFL draft. The nine-year veteran has played mainly as a defensive end in a 4-3 defense, but figures to project to outside linebacker in Buffalo’s 3-4 defensive front.
Primarily a rotational player for Atlanta, Biermann is just two years removed from his most productive season.
