Fixxxer Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Tell him that he will be the rookie QB best friend this year. The offense will be a heavy dose of running with lots of PA to him and Stevie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kellyto83TD Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 @AdamSchefter: Redskins TE Fred Davis dined last night in Washington with Bills HC Doug Marrone, GM Buddy Nix, Doug Whaley and other Bills officials. This would be a good move if we can sign him. If healthy he had some upside If healthy we need him and its an upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leper65 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 He played under the franchise tag last year, he won't cost that much after the Achilles... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jr1 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Put some BenGay Zero Degrees on his Achilles and give him a helmet and pads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Definitely high risk/reward. He has only stayed healthy for 2 of his 5 seasons and the Achilles injury is a major red flag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maury Ballstein Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Huge yes.....could be a steal if the price is right. Was looking very sharp pre injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Definitely high risk/reward. He has only stayed healthy for 2 of his 5 seasons and the Achilles injury is a major red flag. One more busted drug test and he'd face a year-long suspension as well. That said, he be a great target for a rookie QB to lean on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 I'm fully on board with this idea. Give him a good but not great contract for 3-4 years but without a huge signing bonus, which he is not going to get anywhere because of the injury. If he is not back you just release him after a year or two. But well worth the risk. He would be an interesting player on a team with CJ and Stevie and a speed WR. If Chandler comes back we could play a lot of two TEs, and the defense would never know if we were going to line up in a run offense or pass offense. he's not a great blocker but he can move around and play an H back role, which Marrone likes. I'm definitely in favor of this and worth the risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Jose Bills Fan Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Definitely high risk/reward. He has only stayed healthy for 2 of his 5 seasons and the Achilles injury is a major red flag. It could possibly be low risk/low reward too. In that scenario, the Bills give him a contract commensurate with the facts of his serious injury and his less-than-sterling, off-the-field performance. I've read that the Redskins are very tight to the cap so it might not cost much to sign Davis. And then it's possible that because of the severity of the injury, Davis becomes another in a long line of players who never fully recovers from his achilles injury. In this scenario he would be low risk/low reward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillsMagic1 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Looks ti me that it Fred';s twin brother "Red" who threw the bottle and that Fred is being wrongfully acused because he is a RedSkin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Tuesday Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 (edited) He is a mismatch player on offense - a real difference-maker. While his injuries are a concern, he has steadily improved his skills every year since entering the league. Prior to his injury he was on the verge of a breakout year and at times looked uncoverable. Is still very young. Would also take a glaring need off of the draft program. Edited March 24, 2013 by Coach Tuesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JESSEFEFFER Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Actually he'd be a high risk, high reward player. Unless he was a low paid addition. Or maybe just a "high" player. Failing 4 drug tests, two after the lockout, sounds like a man with a drug problem to me. I'd really need to know the details before I could like such a move.

Lurker Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Rag arm. "Davis insisted that he complied with the terms of the court’s order but admitted he had been at nightclubs while Chaka was present. “It’s just, the city’s so small, you’re going to run into somebody,” Davis testified." Willis 2.0??! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
