Should probably back Duke Williams while we're at it.
It's a low risk/high reward type signing, but I don't think we really should expect much (or anything).
Bills just need one of the many FA Edge rushers still available to round out the defense and I think we're just straight up better than we were a year ago.
I never said anyone would learn anything from this, just that given the information the Bills had at the time and the fact that Araiza was under a major civil suit, that it was justifiable and probably the right thing to release him.
When this all came up I even stated that I wished there was a "administrative leave" designation for players undergoing an ordeal just like this, where they wouldn't be paid but not have to be released.
You can't blame the Bills for dropping him when they did. I believed that it was the right move then and I still do.
Obviously this is a borked up situation, and I feel for him.
100% agree here.
A top 5 unit? Not with Spencer Brown at RT (unless he makes a significant leap).
A top 10 unit? I think it's possible, maybe unlikely.
A top 15 unit? If they aren't, the O-Line coach should be fired.
I think it HAS to be Davis given what's currently on the roster. I wouldn't mind a different Davis, Corey Davis, being the new #2 guy if the Jets cut him though.
I just don't think we should be relying on Gabe. He's a high end #3 field stretcher. That has its place, but he's shown that he's too volatile to be a #2.
I'm really excited about this signing, and this is the kind of stuff the Bills should have been doing all along instead of being so draft heavy on defense.
This guy is a wrecker in a 4-3 and is gonna be great in the DT rotation.
He has a shot to make the team as a 4 phase special teamer. If he does make the roster I doubt we see him taking many (or any) offensive snaps.
This is basically a super athletic Jake Kumerow on a rookie contract. Lots of upside, but it's gonna be hard for him to see the field.
