IgotBILLStopay Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 (edited) Good ST + depth signing. The re-signing of the ST players shows that McD believes last year's abysmal ST performance was more about Crossman's system than the players. I agree.

He was out of his league when he had to play LB. If a ST star that can be worked around. He seems like good, not great ST player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But dont play him ever at SLB. So I agree with you that he sucks in certain situations:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Billieve Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 We are about to double our roster size, definitely seems like a good signing under that light. And also something that you can't really read into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he had to start for any significant amount of time we would probably be in trouble......BUT he did get playing time on our defense last year in spots and is a veteran special teamer. Nothing wrong with this signing as it doesnt affect our cap number (I think?) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFan4 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 It’s a depth signing. A 1 year low money deal, with no guarantee that he even makes the roster. Definitely not worth getting worked up over in any way... 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmart128 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Everyone saying he is a good special teams player and we need all the help we can get there. But from what I've seen he seems very underwhelming on Special Teams as well. Makes some stupid plays and penalties. With that being said I don't mind bringing him in to camp for a body that's knows our system. But let's not act like he is some Special Teams ace.

Roch Jim Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 IIRC, he deserves credit for holding his spot on punt return team in 2017, snuffing out a fake punt, the key play in a victory when we needed every win to make the playoffs. So, whether he makes the roster or not, Bills fans should have a small place in their heart for this one key play...see Preston Ridelhuber, David White, etc.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I like it. If guys like Lacy are on the "fringe" of the roster, that means we are brining in the competition. He was a below-average LB, but prob average ST player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said,if Beane does his job properly over the spring/summer,players like lacey won't be on this football team.6-10 is in the past.When a franchise has over 80 million in savings...you don't re-sign players like him..the same can be said about Pitts.

It's pretty clear that you have no idea what you are talking about. Tons of players will get signed throughout the league to bring rosters up to 90 men. Having some depth guys who know the system already and who contribute on special teams, and who you are comfortable with, is valuable. And by the way, many Bills free agents that we don't sign will get signed up by other teams. Guys like Lacey and Pitts, who have real playing experience, would get signed by other teams.

They won’t be losing any FAs who will sign big contracts in 2019 and likely will be signing enough themselves that there won’t be a net loss. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
