He was drafted with the expectation of being on the elite level ala OBJ/Brown and I think that colors expectations a bit as well. If he was drafted 28th people wouldn't be as hard on him. So how about that Vontae Davis signing... Agreed dude. He isn't amazing but he's a damn good wr when healthy Anyway I'm stoked about Davis!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The max he can earn is $8M. Leavs Buffalo with ~$28.8M in cap space at the moment. Figure $8M of that will go to draft picks, so you've got ~$20M to spend on re-signings and UFAs http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/02/27/report-bills-guarantee-vontae-davis-3-5-million-can-make-up-to-8-million/ Report: Bills guarantee Vontae Davis $3.5 million, can make up to $8 million Posted by Michael David Smith on February 27, 2018, 2:40 PM EST Getty Images The Bills acted fast in signing free agent Vontae Davis before free agency, and they’ve guaranteed him $3.5 million. That’s the word from Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, who reports that Davis’s guarantee is $3.5 million, his base salary is $5 million, and the maximum he can make on his one-year deal is $8 million. That sounds like a reasonably good deal for the Bills, who wanted to identify another starting cornerback along with Tre'Davious White, last year’s first-round pick who had a good rookie year. Davis has had his ups and downs, but when he’s up he can be that good starting cornerback. Other teams were interested in Davis, but the Bills wanted to move now rather than wait on the start of free agency next month. Davis was cut by the Colts in November, which made him a free agent now and able to sign before the start of the new league year.

3rdand12 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I sure hope he returns to form. Cerebral back who fits the system. and at a price i am surprised and pleased at. Is it possible Bills learned how to write and sell a decent contract? I liked Gaines when he played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we trade away the farm to get into the blue chip QBs we not even have that 2nd round pick If we stand pat and take a guy like Lamar Jackson.....we also have definate needs at RT, LB, pass rush Personally.....I am wondering if it might be smart to trade down from 21 to later in the 1st round in hopes Lamar Jackson is still there....and aquire a additional 2nd rounder Who would be the bridge QB if they did your scenario? I actually think if they can let Jackson sit for 2-3 years he could be an excellent QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It worked for Aaron Rodgers. Anyways, i know each example is different, but if the Bills find themselves a good QB in FA that can actually STAY HEALTHY, they wouldn't need to rush Jackson. i love Jackson's all around talents. I just don't want to throw him to NFL D's right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when Leonard Johnson was healthy they usually played well; he played nickel CB a lot including Atlanta game when he covered Julio Jones out physically him when Jones usually dominates smaller corner directly resulting in him not playing 2nd half. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 The Bills are looking to capitalize with the signing of CB Vontae DavisVontae Davis has been in the league for nine years, having played for two teams, and was a star corner for both. For the last six years he has been the Colts’ version of a lockdown corner and arguably one of the top corners in the NFL.He has been known as a man cover corner, a guy that could shadow and mirror the opponent’s best wide receiver week in and week out. But he doesn’t just cover them, he also makes plays. Over the course of his career, he has registered 22 interceptions and 72 pass deflections. So, when Davis tore his groin in the third preseason game in his contract year, the writing appeared to be on the wall.After his 5th and final game of the season, which occurred in week 8, the Colts decided to demote him. Head coach Chuck Pagano stated that the demotion was not injury-based, but Davis had a different take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
