NoSaint Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Looks like depth. Looks like he might be the cheap vet role player. Don't think were going after a big name 3rd LB but we will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Following the Bills recent approach Philip Rivers is currently jetting his way east. Could Mickey or Johnny be next? Stay tuned!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bufcomments Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Former Bengal and giant. Former first rounder out of USC. Injury concerns though Specials teams maybe and depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 we think nothing of overpaying by a million or two to JAGs, but get stingy when its one of our better players 1) he may not even see the second year. Huge difference in his money & Byrd's 2) folks gotta stop pretending they know how the Byrd contract talks went. We have no idea & it's pure speculation.

QCity Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Even Polian had 32 LB's ranked higher and gave him a C- Puzzling signing, I hope they are right about what they see in him. I also hope we were bidding against someone because it almost seems like he could have been a camp signing, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 two down runstopping MLB mostly but he can line up anywhere. He doens't make much plays though He fits a role. It seems a little pricey but if he can play vs. the run its another box checked. He was a high draft pick and then Hines Ward almost killed him. They still need to address RT with a starter.

todd Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Hey guys - I would guess his contract is incentive-laden, with playing time escalators. That's the way they are structured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUNCH OF MULARKEY Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) Wow this is hilarious, both the guys they are signing and the reaction to it...

KollegeStudnet Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 We have now spent 6 million on 2 players who probably won't contribute much. Why not just sign an impact player, like keeping Byrd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubs Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 18.30: SIGNING! The Bills have been busy today haven’t they? One time first round pick and most recently former Giant Keith Rivers has signed a two-year deal for $5m according to James Walker. Rivers has never quite grown into an every down role (or the player he was drafted to be) but his work in the run game is that of a person you can count on in a teams base package. He’s earned a +3.9 grade in this regard over the past two years with 8 special teams tackles over the period. https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2014/03/12/2014-free-agency-live-blog-day-2/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thurst44 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 we think nothing of overpaying by a million or two to JAGs, but get stingy when its one of our better players Word is we offered him 10mil...how is that stingy? Yes, it's not confirmed, but let's not just be negative for negativity's sake. This seems a good value pick...and considering their success with Hughes and Lawson, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt...kinda love what they're doing this FA season. Wish Byrd had signed with us, but that is in the past now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
