Bills Sign 4th Round WR Marcus Easley
By admin
Aaron Wilson of the National Football Post reports the Buffalo Bills have signed fourth-round wide receiver Marcus Easley to a four-year contract.
Wilson adds that Easley received a signing bonus of around $520,000.
Easley started 11 of his 35 games at UCONN, finishing his college career with 53 receptions for 997 yards and eight touchdowns, with the bulk of his production (43-853-8) coming during his senior season.
The 6-3, 210-pound Easley ran a 4.39-second time in the 40-yard dash, and displayed a 37.5" vertical leap at his Pro Day in Storrs on March 24. Easley is still raw, but has shown big-play ability and could make an immediate mark on special teams while he polishes his receiving skills.
Easley is the sixth of the Bills' nine draft choices to agree to a contract, leaving first-round running back C.J. Spiller, second-round defensive tackle Torell Troup, and third-round defensive end Alex Carrington as the team's unsigned picks.
