Shareece Wright as the backup absolutely killed us last year. Wright is no where near good. But he offer experience. Good CBs are hard to come by. Many teams have starters that are worse than Wright. It wouldn't be the end of the world. And over the course of their career Davis is much healthier than Gaines so hopefully who ever our backup is doesn't see the field as much as Wright did last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good work McBeane and McD You DO know that McBeane is the nickname given to two separate people right? Our GM's name is Beane and our coach's name is McDermott. I feel like I've seen this from several people around here. There was another poster referring to McBeane as "he" and I realized some people might think that's our GM's actual name.

They have, at most, 4 potential compensatory free agents that they'll lose: Gaines, Matthews, P. Brown, and then maybe one of Deonte or Henderson. It's unlikely that they'll sign fewer than 4 CFAs with all of this team's needs, but finding a guy like Davis is a good start. I'd like another non-compensator guy like Joe Hawley to fill a key need and put them in the running for comp picks, but I'm far more interested in assembling talent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEra Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Now let’s hope that Davis can stay healthy. I REALLY liked Gaines. If resigned, he’s my next jersey. Love his temperament on the field.

As I said last season..........this team was old and was going to have to stay old in 2018 to remain competitive IMO. Losing Woods, Z.Brown, Goodwin, Gilmore, Gillislee, Watkins and Dareus was a whole lotta' young/prime age key contributors for an already older team to barf up in one offseason. Hyde, Poyer, White, Dawkins and Milano was just A START towards replenishing the actual talent level with some youth..........it's going to take at least two more offseasons before this team can really afford to be young IMO.

BillsGuru4 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 We have too many holes to fill to worry about comp picks, they would have cut Holmes, Ducasse, Demarco etc after week 10 if comp picks were a top priority. I really hope we can re-sign Gaines but if we can’t, I think this signing means we will go CB relatively early since Davis is 30 (in May) and coming off a season ending injury. CB in rd 2 or 3 or a good FA I bet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume he won't be here on a 1-2 million dollar deal. CB is a big money position, that means you draft guys so you have them on rookie deals. LB and safety are positions you can get in FA because they go cheaper. People see the name and will think they are getting the 25 year old Davis. it is possible he will suck .. but he did have the groin injury which restricted him last couple of years.

Could see 2-3 on the DL........obviously a DT which will probably be a 3-4 year deal type player cuz the rentals look bad......and I'd like to see Kony Ealy(prove it) and Julius Peppers(pass rush specialist) on one year deals(I know Peppers has no McD connection).........and then there is WR, MLB, RB and I believe a legit reserve vet S who could all be CFA.

26CornerBlitz Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Bills sign cornerback Vontae Davis, meaning he likely replaces E.J. Gaines ‘His signing apparently means the Bills will not try to re-sign free agent cornerback E.J. Gaines, a player who is expected to draw some sizable offers when free agency begins March 14. However, it also means the Bills can probably scratch cornerback off their first-round draft needs list as Davis would be a solid complement to Tre’ Davious White.’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
