Larry Tripplett was drafted 42nd overall in the 2002 draft, two spots ahead of LeCharles Bentley, and underachieved for three seasons and I would even say his last year, a contract year, wasn't anything spectacular.
You can't really use any statistics to measure a defensive tackle's worth, but considering Tony Dungy, one of the brighter defensive minds, showed zero interest in re-signing him, I don't call this acquisition by the Bills a shrewd move.
Signing guys like C Melvin Fowler, who was a bust in Minnesota and who the Vikings had no interest in re-signing, as well as giving Peerless Price to a 4-year/$10 M contract when the only other offers he was fielding were 1-year/league minimums, is just an example of how the Bills organization is a disaster from top to bottom.
