brianthomas Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 From his bio it states he gets overpowered a lot on the line & isn't really the type to adjust to a poorly thrown ball. I just wonder how that factors into our team & with Allen, given how his accuracy isnt currently the best & needs better pass protection. Doesn't seem like a great fit if thats true imo. But suppose time will tell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be worth $21M. In comparison this makes the Clay signing look reasonable. Jeebus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you guys not learned yet that beane is very very good and finding underrated guys? That's not to say EVERY guy he signs is great, but we have many examples of guys who we thought would do nothing and have proven the opposite Who are all the guys Beane has brought in as trades or FA's "who we thought would do nothing and have proven the opposite"? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solid signing, I mean we are 6 hours into FA and some absurd contracts have been handed out and people are mad because Bills didn’t sign a bunch over paid players to bad contracts? Relax. Not upset at all, just underwhelmed at this point, BUT as you say it’s very, very early. I am not pissed yet at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 8 minutes ago, stony said: I just looked at his stats, Yolo. It might be a reach to call him a pass catcher. Either way, this kind of signing doesn't bother me. Big target, hopefully can block. Money seems high, but god knows there's a boatload to be spent. Look at his stats from when he actually played. He had more TDs in the one season he started than Clay had in the last 3. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsSB2020 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I understand the rationale behind acquiring a multitude of players on value deals, but this ain't that. Not impressed. They need to get a premiere lineman ASAP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bengals used him more as a blocking TE (900ish snaps) vs a passing TE (650ish snaps).

JM57 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Very underwhelmed by this signing but not worried at the price. Boyle got $6 million to re-sign in Baltimore and he's basically just Lee Smith, at least this guy can catch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punching Bag Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I like this quote: http://www.espn.com/blog/kansas-city-chiefs/post/_/id/26220/its-a-stressful-time-for-many-first-time-nfl-free-agents "Free agency in football is a process that allows B-plus players to get A-plus contracts," said longtime player agent Leigh Steinberg. "The best players, the real superstars in the league, either have their contracts extended before they become free agents or they get franchised. The players that are out on the market are the ones the teams have decided they can live without. It doesn't mean they're not good. But the auction mentality, having multiple offers, always drives the price up." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
