Bills Sign Free Agent McKinney

The Buffalo Bills filled a glaring need for depth on the offensive line by signing seven-year veteran Seth McKinney, a free-agent from the Cleveland Browns. Terms of the contract were no revealed but it is believed to be a one-year deal.

McKinney, a 6-foot-3, 310-pounder, was an important and versitile member of the Browns' line last year, filling the No. 1 backup job at both guard spots and the center position. He started three games at guard last year and the first eight games of the 2007 season at guard. His sat out the second half of the '07 season with a shoulder injury.

McKinney is a product of Texas A&M, where he was a four-year starting center. He was a third-round pick of Miami in 2002. He started at center for the Dolphins in 16 games in 2004 and 13 games in 2005. He was born in Buffalo, Texas. He has a brother, Steve, who is an 11-year veteran offensive lineman for Seattle.
