The Bills announced the signing of free agent cornerback Shareece Wright. Wright visited with Buffalo in early April, but the team waited until after the draft to add him to the roster.
Wright, 30, has been on the open market since the Ravens cut him loose on March 7. Even though he has 42 career starts to his name, the Bills were the only team known to have real interest in him this offseason. Wright has not recorded an interception since 2013 and last year he ranked 75th out of 111 qualified cornerbacks, according to Pro Football Focus.
The Bills made a big-time upgrade at cornerback on Thursday when they seleted LSU’s Tre’Davious White with the No. 27 overall pick. White and Ronald Darby will hold down the starting spots, but Wright could find his way to the roster as a reserve.
Wright is now the fourth third offseason addition to their cornerback corps, joining White and free agent pickups Marcus Cromartie and Leonard Johnson. It remains to be seen how this group will perform as a whole following the losses of Stephon Gilmore and Nickell Robey-Coleman.
