The Bills are huddling with a player who has spent the last two seasons with a division rival.
Outside linebacker/defensive lineman Michael Buchanan, whom the Patriots waived earlier in May, is meeting with Buffalo on Friday, the club announced.
The 24-year-old Buchanan has recorded 11 tackles and two sacks in 18 regular season games since 2013, all with the Patriots, who drafted him in Round Seven two years ago. He spent the majority of the 2014 season on injured reserve. Buchanan (6-6, 255) played collegiately at Illinois.
If added to the Bills’ roster, Buchanan would likely vie for a reserve role at outside linebacker in the Bills’ 3-4 scheme.
