The Bills have signed free agent pass rusher Eli Harold, according to a team announcement. Harold, 25, played last season for the Lions after being traded from the 49ers. 
Harold was utilized as an outside linebacker and a situational pass rusher with Detroit last year, but the Bills’ press release refers to him as a defensive end. At 6’3″, 243 pounds, Harold may not have ideal DE size, but he could be an option for the club’s No. 4 DE role.
Harold started for most of his final two seasons with the Niners, but spent the entire year as a reserve in Detroit. Still, Harold managed a career-high four sacks, including takedowns against Tom Brady in the club’s early-season upset over the Patriots.
Between now and September, Harold will push to make the roster as a supporting member behind bookends Jerry Hughes, Trent Murphy, and Shaq Lawson.
