TonyBeets Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Do you think we should consider Cushing? After the draft I'm a bit more confident, but we're definitely still lacking experience. I am aware of the PED issues, but at this point I think he could be had at a bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victory Formation Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Good player, but I think Siran Neal is going to blow up as a S/LB/DB. I could see him playing LB in the nickel and some safety in obvious rushing situations, the guy plays with brutality. Edmunds and Milano will get the brunt of playing time, Neal and Lorax will split time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddo Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 TBH, with all the PED uses he's been caught with, imho, he shouldn't even be available in the league any more. It's one thing to be making a mistake, it's another entirely to be a serial offender, who appears to take PEDs as part of his daily diet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEpsYtown Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 I think Bowman is the best of what is on the market but I think he will be expensive. Whoever we bring in is likely to be a 2 down player only and needs to be an upgrade over Lorax at the Sam. Cushing makes sense and has a relationship with John Butler our DB coach. Karlos Dansby used to be a long athletic player like Edmunds and could be an interesting mentor type. I also think Lawrence Timmons could fit as well. All of them are more middle backer than Sam backer, but they could all work. If Lorax is going to start there, there is no need really, but I think we could use an upgrade there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDawkinstein Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 His ligaments and tendons are all shot from PEDs. I'd like to have his fire around the youngsters, but he' be a waste of money. I'll take Bowman over Cushing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEra Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 I’d take him for the minimum but it would likely end with an injury or suspension. Bowman would really be the best guy for us to add at this point but I don’t think he’d sign in Buffalo unless it was for over his market value. I think he stays on the west coast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan89 Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 I think the Bills should sign a veteran LB, there are a few out on the market that would make sense. Even with Edumonds the team still needs another LB plus some depth. I wouldn't hate kicking the tires on 2 vet LB's in camp just to see what they have and to mentor the younger players.

Maybe if we get a new contract negotiator who insists that players signed need to pay back bonus if they have violations of drugs rules. Jim Overdorf negotiated those contracts not Whiley and he is still here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. He’s the number 1 FA on my list. Getting him to sign in Buffalo is a different matter.
