The Bills announced they signed veteran and former Carolina Panthers linebacker Shaq Thompson, and probably means the end is near for another Bills linebacker.

Thompson, who was not brought back by the Panthers for an 11th season, officially signed with the Buffalo Bills on Monday. The 31-year-old veteran spoke with reporters shortly following the announcement, and explained how he found himself in Orchard Park, N.Y.

This late in the offseason teams usually have most of their roster set but the Buffalo Bills have found one more piece to plug into Sean McDermott's defense, adding veteran linebacker Shaq Thompson to the fold.
