turbo044 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 With the Dre Holmes signing, if we could sign Zach and maybe a good RT and a CB, we'd be solid heading into the draft. 1-10. Davis 2nd. Best CB or safety 3rd. Best CB or safety or maybe a Few 5th. Kelly 5th. Lb 6th. Whatever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baskingridgebillsfan Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 He is talented but he is not a gamer. That has to rub coaches and team mates the wrong way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SectionC3 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 There has to be something about him and his locker room behavior/attitude, etc that is rubbing teams wrong...Bills don't want him back after he played very well, Oakland doesn't want him and seemingly nobody else does either....something has to be up that hasn't got anything to do with his football ability. He was one of the guys yukking it up after the second Miami loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Reggie is the Sam Preston the Mike & Lorax the Will, do we really need to use big money to re-sign Zack or go draft a TRUE weak side 43 LB? I'd like to use that $$ on a SS or WR. I bet we use Lorax more at DE than LB but he's listed as OLB on the official depth chart. That leaves Preston Brown in the as a nickel backer. No thanks. We need a Lb with some speed. Currently too slow imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estro Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Zach Brown's biggest payday was his rookie season when he made $1.6M in cash his second highest was last season with the Bills where he made $1.25M. Zach's okay, but inconsistent. He had some really good games and some pretty bad ones, esp. late in the season. Toward the end of the season he was taking some really bad angles vs. the run and was a liability. I'd be okay having him back at a bargain deal....something in the neighborhood of a $2.5-$3M per year on a 1 or 2 year deal, but anything more than that I'd let him walk. He's great depth, and an okay starter so he does provide value, but I just don't think he's worth more than that and I suspect he and his agent are probably looking for $4-$5M per. At this stage in FA, he'll be lucky if anyone is offering much more than a 1 yr. $3M deal, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can humble himself and get ready to work. i would like to get him back in Buffalo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juice_32 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Every day that he's out there his price tag drops and this Oakland trip isn't going to help. As long as there isn't some major issue with him that we aren't privy to, get him back on a 1 year. We could do much worse this late in the game.

I'm torn between wanting his exceptional talent back and not wanting him back because I couldn't really envision him on a Seattle-type D......100mph.....defend "every blade of grass" all the time.

On the cheap it's worth a shot though. It seems like McD is running a totally different ship than Rex did. If you're slacking on this team this year, you are going to get called out. Stick that Marine D line coach on his ass and let's go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree that McD appears to be running a different ship but if Zach has some character concerns, those are hard, if not impossible to change.

I'm with you. I just think at the right number it makes sense. He's embarrassed and will be held accountable moving forward. If there was ever a chance for him to turn it around, it's that combo.

K-9 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 94 solo tackles 49 assists , I'm surprised no takers. Tape don't lie. Like badol said above, he shows a lack of commitment and it's glaring on tape; jumps right out at you in fact. And as estro pointed out, his inconsistency, even when he wasn't slacking, was also evident. That's a bad combination. Why do I get the impression that lack of commitment is the LAST thing McDermott would tolerate in a player and why do I think inconsistency isn't too far behind?

aristocrat Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Interesting. Curious what he ends up signing for. Lb and safety is my biggest concern right now so would still love to have him. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Direhard Fan Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 I think McD doesn't want a slacker and wants guys who don't take plays off. You can't change the stripes on the player. Time to say goodbuy. Notice how all the FA's so far are clean cut, dress nice and speek well. Just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
