On ESPN’s Rome is Burning Miami Dolphins linebacker Joey Porter has suggested that the best thing for him and the Miami Dolphins is to trade him as he doesn’t want to be a rotational player.
If the Bills decide to implement a 3-4 defense the Bills should pursue Porter.
Just think about it you would have a starting defense with Aaron Maybin and Porter at outside linebacker with Aaron Schobel and Chris Kelsay at defensive end, Marcus Stroud at nose tackle, with Paul Pozluszny and Kawika Mitchell at middle linebacker.
That is a pretty solid front seven that should give offenses a run for their money.
Porter is 33 years old so the Bills would have to draft another outside linebacker next year to learn under Porter for a couple of years.
To acquire Porter the Bills would most likely have to give up a third or fourth rounder, but it would be worth it as very rarely do those picks work.
Every year there are trades that can be made to improve a football team, and this would be one of them.
In the end the Bills would be fools to not go after Porter.
