Cary

Harris

The deal includes a $106,850 signing bonus. Harris was slowed at minicamp by an injured hamstring. He’ll fight for a roster spot at training camp.

Harris was a sixth-round pick out of USC in April. He’s too slow to play corner for most teams, but Buffalo’s Tampa 2 scheme suits his skills as a sure tackler. He may also see some action at free safety on the practice field.

All four are slated for minimum salaries, and will be on the roster bubble in training camp. Harris, a free safety/cornerback, was a sixth-round pick in 2009. Stupar had a standout preseason last year, but didn’t make the team.

Corto’s wrist injury has healed. Harris was strictly a special teamer.

Harris signed just over a week ago. The Bengals do not plan on re-signing him at this time, so the special teamer will look for work elsewhere.

They were all on the practice squad, and will be carried on the 80-man roster this offseason. Ruffin offers some potential as a situational pass rusher, although if he was anywhere NFL ready he surely could’ve helped a Bengals team that was among the NFL’s worst at sacking quarterbacks this year.

“Cary Harris is probably out for this game, but he’ll probably just miss this game,” said Gailey. Harris’ value for the Bills comes on special teams.

Harris is a special teamer and backup safety for Buffalo.
