Did Bills make mistake not resigning Leonard Johnson?

Isn’t Rafael Bush an option at nickel as well? I know his primary position is safety but I thought I heard he was rotating in there.

I think Sean ran a lot of three Safety sets in Carolina so that might be why Bush is in the mix. Either way I'd love to have Gaines back, who knows maybe the Browns do something dumb and cut him and we can bring him back.

I believe I read that Leonard Johnson was one of the worst graded nickel corners in the entire league last season. Given how cheap he would have been to re-sign and the fact that he already knows the scheme and the coaches, you have to think there's a REASON they didn't bring him back. I believe they view Gaines/Taron as upgrades. Time will tell if they were correct.

For what it's worth, I wish they had re-signed EJ Gaines. He was a BIG part of our defensive success last year, injury woes or not.

Chris Brown filled in for Tasker this week on OBL...he said Bush gives the Bills a rock solid trio at safety.Don't forget,Brown hasn't missed one snap at camp.

VDavis has been injury plagued throughout his career and, according to reports I’ve read on TSW, has been walking gingerly all TC.  I’m not worried about the nickel spot, I’m worried about who replaces Davis when he gets hurt. Not sure Gaines is the guy

Davis had a pretty poor first couple of series in the first game, too.

That he did.  I love that Davis acquisition though.  I think, if healthy, given a few more weeks, he’ll be a good fit in this D.  I just dunno if he’ll ever be healthy again.
