Versatile free-agent offensive lineman Wade Smith arrived in Buffalo Friday for a visit

with the Bills.

Smith is an eight-year NFL veteran who started 16 games the past two seasons as the "sixth

man" on the Kansas City Chiefs offensive line. Bills new offensive line coach Joe

D'Allessandris served as assistant offensive line coach for the Chiefs the past two years.

Smith, 6-foot-4 and 296 pounds, played his first four years with Miami and his next two with

the New York Jets. He was a third-round pick of the Dolphins and has 34 starts in 74 career

games.

The Bills are looking for a veteran interior lineman because both players who filled that role

in Buffalo last year no longer are on the team. Seth McKinney is a free agent. Richie

Incognito, who was signed after McKinney got hurt and started the last three games, did not

receive a contract offer from the Bills and also is a free agent.
