Chad Rinehart Rumors & News

C-G Doug Legursky signed by Bills - BuffaloBills.com "The center-guard expects to compete for the starting left guard competition that has no incumbent starter returning from last season following the free agent departure of Andy Levitre as well as spot starter Chad Rinehart. To this point the competition has included Colin Brown, rookie Zach Chibane, Chris Scott, Thomas Welch and Sam Young." Not only did Chris Brown write that sentence, the team's website went all out with Legursky.

The offensive tackles have rightfully received much of the attention for the Chargers line transformation this off season, with King Dunlap tasked with holding down the fort on the left side and rookie DJ Fluker slated to replace Jeromey Clary on the right. However, those aren't the only offensive line spots looking to have turnover, as both guard positions will have new starters as well. To fill in at the right guard position, Telesco signed Chad Rinehart away from the Bills. Rinehart did not play much last season, serving mostly as a fill-in for when a starter would need a breather....

The Buffalo Bills have a very noticeable hole on their offensive line at left guard after their top two players at the position - Andy Levitre (Tennessee Titans) and Chad Rinehart (San Diego Chargers) - departed via free agency this week. While we mull which remaining free agents and/or 2013 NFL Draft prospects the team may pursue to fill the void, it's important to note that the team does have in-house candidates for the position.

For a second straight day, the Buffalo Bills have lost an offensive guard to free agency. Andy Levitre signed a mega-deal with the Tennessee Titans on Tuesday, and today Chad Rinehart is expected to sign a one-year deal with the San Diego Chargers, per a San Diego Union-Tribune report - though that's not official yet, as Rinehart still needs to pass a physical. Rinehart, 27, was long considered to be the Bills' back-up plan at left guard if the team lost Levitre on the open market. Instead, the Bills have now lost both players, with Rinehart joining former Bills offensive line coach Jo...

Andy Levitre will be one of the most sought-after players in free agency, but teammate Chad Rinehart offers a high-upside option at a fraction of the cost.
