But he's an UFA and counts toward the comp formula, whereas Davis does not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Muellers Ghost Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I like it, but he will be 30 in May and coming off a major injury. Lets see how he looks in camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally...I hope we can keep him. I didn't read the whole thread, where was he disrespected? (Honest question) Is it because of the Davis excitement??

No doubt he performed well on field but zone helps the CB considerably. There are some corners who are not good in zone coverage.... THis is nothing against Vonte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flomoe Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 (edited) This is a good get. Does Beane know anything about hockey? Maybe he could be the GM of the Sabres too, he’s done more on the hockey trade deadline day then the hockey GM.

dollars 2 donuts Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 (edited) Sabres getting shown up on the trading deadline. nice move.

Punching Bag Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 (edited) He was #31 on top 101 free agent list but not sure how much research they actually did.

ndirish1978 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 (edited) I'm so starved for BB info. I want plane tail numbers, is he in BUF or was his instagram post from a picture he took when he was visiting? How is his health beyond just knowing team docs have cleared him. Is he disappointed he missed Jordan Poyer's wedding? Who are we going to play six degrees of VD with and presume they are signing here as well now?

whatdrought Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I do hope they add one more quality corner this offseason. Either re-signing Gaines (though I'm sure the price will preclude that) or signing someone like Aaron Colvin for the slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
