MrEpsYtown Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 There is some value in a guy who can play all five offensive line positions. Typically it allows you to dress an extra guy at another position in game day. I'm fine with it. Hopefully he has an uphill battle to make the 53 becuase we add a bunch of good players.

Like a utility infielder. It's not an exciting signing, but that's clearly how they view Sirles. The important decisions are forthcoming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True.. Id pay more for a good one... Might be of more benefit then paying $5M for a bad one.. Edited January 17, 2019 by Aussie Joe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If if wasn’t him, it would be someone else at the same level in that spot. At least he knows the offense. No guarantee of making the team. Yeah, i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s the second best lineman on the team and would be an ideal “swing” tackle backup long term, IMO. Sirles certainly didn’t show enough to pencil in as the new starter or even the primary backup without proving it in camp first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sirles certainly didn’t show enough to pencil in as the new starter or even the primary backup without proving it in camp first. If I'm the Bills I go after Daryl Williams as a starter at right tackle and add a guy like Josh Wells as the swing guy. Wells has played a good amount of left tackle over the years in Jacksonville. Mills as a backup is fine, but I'd worry about him as a swing guy if he actually had to go in a game as a left tackle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go get an upgrade with that $90 million you have to spend. Like I've said, I doubt they'll be able to upgrade all 3 positions they need to on the oline in free agency. Other teams will be competing for oline help too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 On 1/16/2019 at 2:11 PM, Logic said: At times in 2018, the Bills carried as many as 10 offensive linemen on their 53 man roster. That's too many. Sirles provides depth at T, G, C, and can contribute as a 6th lineman in jumbo formations. I'm sure it was a cheap deal, is only for 1 year, and won't preclude them from upgrading the offensive line in free agency and the draft. Can he practice at LS too?
