Offensive tackle Hunter attempts to revive career with Bills

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) The Buffalo Bills are providing offensive tackle Wayne Hunter an opportunity to revive his career.

Hunter signed with the Bills on Wednesday. The 6-foot-5 and 318-pound Hunter has been out of football since being released by St. Louis following the 2012 season.

He has 25 starts in 77 games, including a four-year stint with the Jets that overlapped Bills new coach Rex Ryan's tenure in New York.

Drafted in the third round by Seattle in 2003, Hunter has had off-field run-ins with the law.

He was released by the Seahawks in May 2006 after being charged with misdemeanor assault following a dispute at a sports bar. Hunter was also arrested in 2003 for a minor assault against his girlfriend, and was twice suspended for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy.

Hunter joins a team that is giving offensive guard Richie Incognito a second chance. Incognito signed with Buffalo in January after being out of football for 18 months for his involvement in the Miami Dolphins' bullying scandal.
