Inside The Bills

Appearing on NFL AM Wednesday morning Stevie Johnson openly tried to recruit St. Louis free agent WR Brandon Gibson to sign with the Bills when free agency opens next Tuesday. No word if the Bills are interested, but there’s a bit of a back story to the recruiting.

Gibson has the same agent as Johnson, so the two have gotten to know each other pretty well. According to the USA Today there will be some demand for Gibson’s services right in Buffalo’s own division with just about every AFC East team needing reinforcements at receiver.

Gibson had 51 catches last season for a career-high 691 yards and five touchdowns. Johnson called him “a stud.” Gibson is 25-years old and entering his fourth NFL season.
