PITTSFORD, N.Y., Aug. 19 (UPI) -- Veteran defensive end Chidi Ahanotu Monday joined his third NFL team in as many years when he signed a one-year deal with the Buffalo Bills.
Financial terms were not disclosed.
Ahanotu, 32, spent his first eight NFL seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, recording a career-high 10 sacks in 1997. He spent last season with the St. Louis Rams.
The 6-2, 285-pounder was used only on first and second down by the Rams, but the Bills will give Ahanotu a chance to prove if he has anything left as a pass rusher. The Bills have no sacks in two preseason games.
"He was looking for a chance to play and to mentor younger players," his agent, Scott Langley, told the Buffalo News. Langley said his client spoke with several other teams.
Ahanotu has appeared in 129 games, including 120 starts, and has 33 sacks.
