The Raiders probably already knew about it but I haven’t seen any updates on where that trade stands hes missing the 1st part of the season for the 4th (!) season in a row so they didn’t sign Preston just for that. Oddly enough they just have Burfict an extension (duh) Edited March 16, 2018 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaines might be out pricing himself, as saw Houston was interested but they ended up going with James Joseph again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoBills808 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Way too soft for the AFCN. He's in for a rude awakening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davspo Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 (edited) I don't understand all the hate for Brown. He was a competent started, although not a superstar. He was rarely injured and a good locker room guy. I don't think he fits the McD mold of linebackers but he is better than anyone we currently have. I am guessing a linebacker will be the Bills second pick in the draft - whatever round that may be. I am still very concerned about the oline- especially with an inexperienced quarterback.

Don't get the hate. He played in the middle. He wasn't going to get 10 sacks. He did exactly like London Fletcher did for years. What do you expect from a MLB?

GrizzReaper Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Think Brown is a competent MLB he just isn't the type McD wants in his D. We are all aware of the type of LB McDermott wants and I'm sure Brown was aware of that too. Best of luck to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll just say Fletcher and Brown couldn’t be more disparate MLBs. And the number of tackles an LB makes is perhaps the most dubious stat in the game. I will also predict that no matter who they replace him with, whether it’s a rookie or free agent, there won’t be any drop off in performance.

Bills got great value out of that pick. Brown was priced right on his rookie deal. Now not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fletcher didn't fly sideline-to-sideline, picking off passes, and making a ton of sacks. I think he averaged ~2 sacks a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
