Former Bill Tripplett Signs in Seattle

Former Bills defensive tackle Larry Tripplett has signed with the Seattle Seahawks.

Tripplett was the team's premier free agent signing in 2006, when he came over from Indy to anchor the Tampa-2 Bills defense. He was never the stout, run-stopper the team needed. The Buffalo defense has evolved away from the style that utilizes those quick, gap-slicing defensive tackle. Tripplett was released one day before the trade for Marcus Stroud. The emergence of John McCargo also made Tripplett expendable. The Bills current depth chart at defensive tackle includes Kyle Williams, Stroud, McCargo & Spencer Johnson.
