Well for starters, he still had 4 sacks and 2 Forced Fumbles in 12 games as a backup and rotational guy who also missed time and dealt with injuries. So he made some impact plays in limited appearances. So I think he is a guy who can be a good contributor next year if he can stay healthy.

We signed a ton of FA's but nothing on the D-Line. Getting Ziggy, as long as his health is clean, (or someone comparable) would help to even further open up options for tomorrow evening.

The report was that the Bills and Saints were waiting for Ziggy to have a check up sometime in April to see if his shoulder is cleared. Have not heard about the appointment yet. Ziggy's agent wanted to wait also to maximize his contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 (edited) Report: Saints free agent target Ziggy Ansah visits Ravens By: John Sigler | 50 minutes ago Ansah visited the New Orleans Saints early in free agency but left without a contract; it was later reported that they were waiting, along with other teams, to see how he is progressing after December shoulder surgery. The Buffalo Bills also spent time meeting with Ansah. The Ravens would make for a sensible landing spot for Ansah. They lost pass rushers Za’Darius Smith and Terrell Suggs in free agency and don’t have many other names at the position to chase quarterbacks in 2019. Landing him would be something of insult to injury after Baltimore signed longtime Saints running back Mark Ingram early in free agency.

I'd rather trade draft assets and sign Clowney for 20 million per than sign Ansah for 14 million. The guy is very overrated, older (no one knows his actual age), and always hurt. Clowney is very young, has huge upside, has been productive, and will excel in this defense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IgotBILLStopay Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Also Ravens cap situation is not stellar for 2019. I doubt if they can pay Ansah 10 mill per year - so Ansah's Ravens visit might mean his value is even less than 9 mill per year. Or Ravens might be willing to structure the contract so the big cap hit is next year. Even so, cannot imagine a 14 mill per deal with a less than 10 mill cap hit this year - since he will have not have a contract longer than 3 years.

TigerJ Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I suspect Buffalo's strategy will be to try and find their edge rusher in the draft. If it doesn't fall in such a way that they can get a quality guy, then they will consider Ansah as a fall back option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEpsYtown Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 If he isn't going to be cleared by August, it's not worth it to sign him imo. There are no guarantees he will actually be ready to play. Especially if he wants a ton of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphadawg7 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I was initially skeptical of the add as I thought he was little older and wasn't sold on his injury status. But, now I would be pretty into signing him if we don't land an impact EDGE prospect in the draft. If he can be cleared fully mid August, Shaq and Murphy can hold the fort down early in the season as Ansah builds his strength and conditioning back up and we can bring him along slowly where he rounds into form by mid season and is at full strength for a second half playoff push and hopefully a playoff run. If we of course land someone like Sweat, Burns, etc in the draft, then I just don't see the need to sign him of course. Another guy I do like in the draft in the round 2 to 3 range is Oshane Ximines. I think this kid could be a steal in that range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
