Bills notebook: Incognito claimed off waivers; Mitchell is no fan

The Buffalo Bills added an offensive lineman known as "the dirtiest player in the NFL" Wednesday. The move immediately drew criticism from injured Bills veteran Kawika Mitchell.

The Bills claimed guard Richie Incognito off waivers from the St. Louis Rams, according to a league source and various media reports. The move comes in the wake of more injuries on the offensive line. The Bills lost starting right guard Eric Wood and backup interior lineman Seth McKinney to season-ending injuries four weeks ago. Wood broke a leg and McKinney injured a knee.

On Wednesday, Wood's replacement, Kendall Simmons, was unable to practice due to a sore shoulder.

The Rams waived Incognito after he was called for two personal fouls in Sunday's loss to Tennessee. He subsequently was in a shouting match with Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo. The fouls continued a trend for Incognito, who has had issues with anger management in his career. He had two personal fouls in the season opener as well. Incognito was rated by NFL players as the dirtiest player in the league in a poll conducted by the Sporting News recently.

Mitchell, who is out for the year due to injury, responded to the Bills' roster move on his Twitter account. Mitchell tweeted that the signing of Incognito was "the biggest disappointment this year."

"The guy's a bum," Mitchell wrote. "Dirty and always will be. Really wish I was playin' right now. Seriously. I know we're in need of offensive line [help]. But this guy [stinks]."

Mitchell later sent a message regretting his public comments: "I said what I said 'bout 'Iggy' and it's over. Everything else will be handled in house. We've had our moments before when KC played St. L. I was wrong for startin' somthin.' "

The Bills and the Miami Dolphins claimed Incognito. The Bills got him because they have a worse record than Miami.

Incognito started nine games this year and 15 last season. He missed four games this year due to a mid-foot sprain. He's a former third-round draft pick out of Nebraska in 2005.

BUFFALO, N.Y. - Controversial offensive lineman Richie Incognito joined the Buffalo Bills on Thursday after being cut by the St. Louis Rams on Monday.

Incognito was on the practice field with the Bills and could even see playing time on Sunday against the Patriots.

Incognito was cut by St. Louis after committing two personal foul penalties for head butting in the Rams 47-7 loss to the Titans last week. He also got into a verbal confrontation with Rams head coach Steve Spagnuolo.

Incognito was voted as the dirtiest player in the NFL according to a poll of players done earlier this season by The Sporting News.

Bills linebacker Kawika Mitchell did not like the signing, saying on his Twitter account, "Biggest disappointment this year. The guy is a bum. Dirty and Always will be." Mitchell did apologize for the comment on Twitter and to Bills coach Perry Fewell.

After practice, Two On Your Side's Ben Hayes asked Incognito about his reputation in the league.

Hayes: "Your reputation, voted the dirtiest player in the league, how do you view your rep?"

Incognito: "I guess it's a little spotty right now with the dirtiest player in the league, I think they polled 90 guys and nine guys answered that I'm the dirtiest player in the league so now everybody runs with it that I'm the dirtiest player in the league, so you call me what you want I'm a hard nose football player and I'm going to bring my A game every Sunday.''

Hayes: "Any reaction to the comments by Kawika mitchell? did you see them, did he say anything to you?"

Incognito: "I did see them, I haven't spoken to Kawika yet, just like you said I have a reputation around the league for being a less than model citizen and some guys on teams really dislike playing against me and I can see where Kawika is coming from, I've probably done some cheap stuff to him playing in the past but now, we're a team now, we're members of the same team and we're working toward the same goal and that's getting this club as many wins as possible.''

He will probably head butt someone else by the end of the season.

[Goldenfleece]

I'll bet he and Kawika are going to have some fun in practice next season.

[RockinRam]

Seriously, I wish the best for Richie. Stay low big man.

[Mooselini]

Now the Bills certainly won't win a game this season.

[01d 0rd3r]

I was just reading a buffalo bils forum for their take on this, and i found out that to make room for cogs on the roster, they had to cut klopfenstien.

[Rambunctious]

I can't remember ever feeling as sorry for a player as I have Klop over the years.

I hope one day he wins the lottery.

[Mooselini]

I'm listening to his interview on the Bills website. He's really well spoken and he says he will change his focus. Talk about beating the dead horse.

[hawaiianpunch]

good ridens. He was a distraction all his career here. unless he changes hes going no where. We need positive people on our team, not people who constantly attract negativity.
