Lesean, Desean, Sheseans only please. Waiver signature required.

I like it as value signing with Rd1 talent at a price that will be discounted given release due to injury history. Our CB depth will always be tested in this defense. Outside guy so still need a slot backup in FA or draft.

The type of player OBD likes and an under the radar Edge Rusher / Lorax long term replacement is Shaquil Barrett from Broncos. Bradley Chubb ate up his snaps last year but he has some solid numbers from the edge. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/B/BarrSh00.htm https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/2019-nfl-free-agency-profile-shaquil-barrett

It's Derek Carr we are talking about here!

Let's try Logic 101 on last year's team. He wasn't on the team and the year is over so no projection can be made. "Everything will be alright in the end so If everything is not alright than it is not the end". Personally not a fan of AB who brings no rings in room, quit on his team mates and wasn't even his team's MV P. To quote the late Dennis Green, "if you want to crown him than crown him". Glad Bean e folded.

With AB Steelers won no Super Bowls and appeared in only one., 2010 rookie season. This with a future HOFer at QB and one of best runners in NFL. So unclear to me how A B could save Bills or Raiders

I believe not unless the transaction paperwork submitted to league specifies terms if player refuses to report

And Michael Bennett rejects trade unless Pats name his brother Martellus the All-Time greatest Pats TE and put on their Ring of Honor. Pats now moving on.

Pats likely losing Trey Flowers in FA. Bennett is likely his replacement and a downgrade

excerpt from my response in other thread So my takeaways from all this: Beane and McD have prioritized improving the WR position. This is key as when OBD was faced with same issue last year all they did prior to season was sign a JAG in Kerley and drafted 2 smurfs in Rd 7. They must see the need for a veteran WR that can have immediate impact this year. This is a good development. The locker room must be sensing that 2019 is not a rebuild year as they see management looking to add a difference maker of the largest magnitude. OBD has to try and win now in Josh Allen's rookie deal. Look for the Bills to add Vets at OL, TE and WR in FA or trade before 3/13 as today the Bills have lowest payroll at all 3 positions. Beane is aggressive and will move on to next priority. Personally not a fan of AB. So not upset. Glad we didn't have to rewrite a deal to get him here and restart the cap jail engine!

Wow has to be the fastest growing thread of all time. I awoke last night around 4am and couldn't go back to sleep so turned on my tablet and saw the news. SHOCKED! When I saw that it was not done and AB's Fake News take I realized it was likely not coming to fruition. I fell asleep again and awoke to see Beane's statement saying OBD had moved on.

And I am old enough to remember the last Steeler's WR who came here - Frank Lewis - who had some good years here (270 catches for 4600 yds and 24 TDs) alongside Jerry Butler in the late 70's early 80's. By the way he was also 31 when Bills picked him up in 1978!

Agreed, yes he did in 1993 with a bunch of players he helped assemble. Unfortunately he couldn't find the next franchise QB - a fault all his successors have shared. Let's hope Beane has found him.

Initially in Denver he was a hybrid DE/Dt and played some at 3T. Then they went to 3-4 and he became a 5T. Same type of flexibility in his roles at Jax too.

While I Iiked John Butler the person and hated that we lost him to cancer too early (at 56) - he hurt this franchise immensely at the end of his tenure before his firing. Traded for Rob Johnson, then put us in Cap Jail in 1999-2000 and drafted Erik Flowers as his last Rd 1 pick

For me it's like getting a NO response on an RSVP and feeling happy about it.

Sorry not being cheesy or snarky just not an AB fan. In my opinion giving up way too much for a player who will want an extension before playing a down. OBD gave up a single player in Kiko for Shady and rewrite his deal - when he was 26! Not willing to trade for a 31 year old WR with QB issues.

Do you think Steelers would ever trade him in division? Thought they were looking to ship him to NFC

Maybe I could get on board for that. Expensive for a part time Big Nickle Safety Collins stats last year were not better than Poyer's btw Collins No INTs, 1 FF, no sacks, 5 TFL.

OK so make an offer to sign him - what would you be willing to pay him?

Collins was ranked #39 in 2018 btw. For what he would want won't be worth the incremental $$ IMHO.

did you sit at the Captain's table with him?

Poyer had 33% more tackles, 7 more TFLs and more QB hits and sacks too. Weddle was exposed in coverage last year. Father time is undefeated. Andrew Wingard is name to watch in draft at S

very EJ Gaines-ish scouting report. And a complicated injury history to match. 1 year low $ signing makes sense to me.

Pass - dude's like 34 and done. He missed Tyler Boyd on Bengals TD vs Ravens at end of 2017 that got us in playoffs - so thanks for playing
