Agent: Bills rookie G Levitre close to signing
PITTSFORD, N.Y. — Buffalo Bills rookie second-round pick, guard Andy Levitre, is close to agreeing to a contract and could report to training camp as early as Sunday afternoon, his agent said.
“We’re just about there,” Leo Goeas told The Associated Press, noting that the sides are going over the language of the deal. Selected 51st overall out of Oregon State, Levitre had 39 career starts and was a first-team All-Pac 10 Conference selection last year.
The Bills, who opened training camp on Saturday, are counting on Levitre. He is being given an opportunity to start at left guard.
Aside from Levitre, the Bills have three unsigned rookie draft picks: first-rounders Aaron Maybin and Eric Wood; and second-rounder Jairus Byrd.
