The Buffalo Bills added a Super Bowl XLII champion to their roster today. Former N.Y. Giants LB Kawika Mitchell signed a five-year, $17.5 million deal ($3.5 guaranteed) with the Bills today. This is a great move for Buffalo. Kawika really came into his own as a linebacker in the Giants aggressive, attacking scheme this past season. He started all 16 games and had 87 tackles, 3.5 sacks and one interception, which he ironically returned for a touchdown against the Bills in the second to last game of the ‘07 season. He’ll most likely join Angelo Crowell and Paul Posluszny in the starting lineup for Buffalo. John DiGiorgio, who started much of last season at LB because of injuries, and Keith Ellison should also play key roles, but look for the Bills to add more depth.
