Inside The Bills

Fowler visiting with Raiders

Bills FA C Melvin Fowler is visiting with the Oakland Raiders out west today. The Raiders have a need at center now that they’ve lost Jake Grove, who signed with the Dolphins.

Fowler is not expected back with the Bills after losing his starting job last year to Duke Preston. If any of the three interior line free agents returns (Whitlle, Preston, Fowler) odds are it will be Preston, but likely as a backup to Geoff Hangartner.

Miami is putting together a nice offensive front, albeit at a pretty steep price. We’ll see if it pays dividends for them, as their running game struggled down the stretch last season.
