Buffalo Bills: The curious signing of Owa Odighizuwa by Mike Distefano 8 hours ago buffalowdown.com With the PED ban looming, Odighizuwa was not an attractive option to teams who were prowling the waiver wire last August, costing him the entire season. His scouting report suggests he’s more of a run defender than a pass rusher. And if he’s going to make this team he will need to prove he’s capable of playing special teams. His combination of strength and speed would argue he is. But is his mental makeup going to allow him to perform? Or perhaps the plan is to deploy him as situational lineman against the run. This could allow Sean McDermott to keep Lawson or Hughes fresh for pass rushing scenarios. Either way, Odighizuwa is not guaranteed a spot on the 53-man roster. He’ll need to compete. But competition brings out the best in people. Buffalo’s track record of signing players to short-term “prove it” deals has been successful lately (Lorenzo Alexander and Jordan Poyer), and the Bills hope to add Odighizuwa to that list.

fare well, tyrod.

bolded is pretty obvious. I think the consensus does feel this is setting them up to get their guy in fa and/or still have the picks to move up so it is going to be a pretty exciting time for a bills fan. first the drought ending, now the potential to even go deeper in the playoffs and likely wont have to worry about the offense only scoring 3 points?

I'm really starting to warm up to beane. been a long time since this franchise has had anyone competent in charge.

interesting take and likely true.

not a sign of trading up? how does this work for the draft. they traded him for a 3rd I understand, but I still want to see them move up unless this is a sign of getting foles?

I just, I mean just logged in and saw this. fare well tyrod

Bills Links, 3/9: Trade speculation with the New York Giants continues Recent moves have fans thinking the Giants would trade the second pick By Anthony Marino@AnthMarino Mar 9, 2018, 6:15am EST Bills Links Free agency does not begin until next week. The NFL Draft is 48 days away. So while there is still plenty of time for discussion, with the most recent conversation is around the Buffalo Bills making a trade with the New York Giants for the second overall pick. This is obviously all speculation at this point, but it is understandable considering Brandon Beane’s connection with the Giants new general manager, David Gettleman. A Giant opportunity http://www.wgr550.com/articles/opinion/giant-opportunity After trading two of their picks this year to acquire [expensive] linebacker Alec Ogletree from the Rams, the Giants are running out of assets Let’s be honest, this trade doesn’t make a whole ton of sense unless, you know, you plan on using that second overall pick to get yourself a host of picks and potentially a roster player or other assets. I mean, that’s the only way this trade makes sense. That’s where Brandon Beane and the Buffalo Bills come in. Let’s first start by stating the obvious. Beane worked under Giants general manager Dave Gettleman, and by all accounts they had a great working relationship in Carolina. This is an obvious help me, help you situation, right? The Bills desperately need a franchise quarterback and the Giants just declared draft pick bankruptcy! There’s a big “for sale” sign at the top of the draft. And for those who have been worried sick about who the Bills could potentially find as trade partners, this trade sounds the dinner bell.

absolutely agree. anyone who would trade this moment for tanking has a screw or two loose.

I like it. would never consider it pop, definitely not crap.

I don't know

still bringing in the $

Oh Diggy zoo wah dilly, dilly

no personal visit in buffalo, while visiting other teams does bring the question as to how much or how little interest they may have in him. any news of any of the others visiting buffalo?

neither. I'm thinking the McD/Beane regime is going to get the team back to contention, for some time to come. will it happen? remains to be seen but a good thought none the less. I'd prefer to forget all about wrecks and obviously marrone.

this has to be one of the most anticipated off seasons in a coons age.

there will also be those fans that don't give a **** what watkins gets paid. but hey, you keep an eye on that former bill and what he gets paid.

you seem to give a damn? you really shouldn't take it so seriously, like personal. at the end of the day, what any fan does or doesn't do has zero affect on you in a personal manner, now does it? that said, I do agree with your last sentence.

does anyone really believe he would tell anyone he was not going to move up? stock piling picks, with two firsts would make one assume/speculate he had some serious plans to use them. waiting for a QB to drop in their lap does not seem like an aggressive move, something beane has been since coming aboard, pretty aggressive.

biggest two letter word in the dictionary.
