FluffHead Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 (edited) Per Rapoport : #Lions free agent pass-rusher Ziggy Ansah, one of the top pass-rushers on the market, has visits set with the #Bills and then the #Saints, sources say. Both quite interested. The physical is important, as he’s recovering from shoulder surgery. Edited March 12, 2019 by FluffHead 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacklabel Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Wouldn't mind this at all. Would create competition with Murphy and be a solid part of the rotation. Guy can still play when he's healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Jackson Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 This is a signing that I can 100% get behind at the right price. He is the defensive version of Tyler Eiffert this offseason IMO. He’s a guy that has had big pass rushing stats in the past but is never healthy. This should be an incentive-laden deal and hope that it ends up being an expensive one. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting to get concerned. these are players with something to prove and come a little cheaper.....They're looking players who are looking to compete looking to prove something, or have the vet savy to share with some gas left in the tank. There is too much money tied up running down every top FA at every position of need / concern. Edited March 12, 2019 by ddaryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IgotBILLStopay Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Always felt, if healthy, he was the best fit for McD's defense. At worst, he can spell Shaq Lawson on obvious passing downs. At his healthiest, he is a game changer. And he can be had for a decent price. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Joshin' Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 IMO you wait for the dust to settle on him you can save some $. I worry that his game is speed and when that starts to drop, so does his effectiveness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Per Wikipedia active in church JC of LDS, worked as janitor to pay way through college. Checks all the boxes.

BuffaloBillsGospel Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Pass rushers of any kind should be welcomed, he and Murphy can be in rotation, I'd still like the team to draft one since Hughes' contract will be up next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magox Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I've always liked Ansah, had a great combine and I remember really hoping that the Bills would draft him coming out of college. He has shown that he can really get after the QB, the last two completely healthy years he had he combined for 26 sacks. Very athletic, perfect size and has a good motor. Injuries have been his biggest roadblock and if the Bills can get him a 3 year $30 million contract with incentives relying on playing time and production that can push it up to around $36 million, with heavy up front money and guarantees of $15M 1st year and around $20M guaranteed then I'm all for it.
