IgotBILLStopay Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 My first Who Dat? moment when this signing was announced. Had no idea such a player was around. But I am liking him more with every passing second. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreggTX Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 (edited) He's a bit below average. 32 years old. Better than Mills by a fair amount. Good awareness. Average run and pass blocking skills. Some injury concern, but he should be ready to go now. My guess is that D Williams' knee is a concern or he's holding out for crazy money and Beane is not going to chase. Otherwise he would have been signed by now, right? I have no other information on him right now. Maybe somone else is expected to sign him? I excpect Nsekhe to start at RT as we develop his eventual replacement and go DT in round 1 (Oliver!). OT , TE or G in round 2? Not a great signing, but a decent one since this was a weak OT FA market. Edited March 12, 2019 by GreggTX 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Success Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Can’t wait to watch Allen step back in the pocket and calmly survey the field before actually being able to step into his throws. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndirish1978 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Like the Spencer Long signing, because of his age (despite his relatively low mileage), this is a bet-hedging signing that gives us options and flexibility. Nsekhe can play 4 spots along the line and could start for us at LT, LG, RT - so basically anywhere we feel he gives us an advantage. If we draft a RT like Jonah Williams, Nsekhe can play LG. If we draft an inside player to compete with Teller, Nsekhe can play RT. You need swing guards and tackles in this league and he appears to be a very smart addition. He'll most likely start at RT, but can push Dawkins at LT should that be necessary. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magox Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Seems like he is universally loved by all the NFL analyst/draftnik sort of guys. Plus his PFF and actual stats are pretty impressive. Looks like a very solid signing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iamkrgr Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I don't know enough about him other than the scouting reports I'm reading. Seems like a solid depth lineman. He shouldn't preclude us from drafting a lineman in the first 2 rounds. I'm really liking our depth. A starting guard would be welcome. Saffold? Spain?

RobbRiddick Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Today's moves I guess confirm they will do as expected and pick defense in round 1. I'm good with that. Hopefully they grab another receiver and TE in the next two, with a RB thrown in during one of the later rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeding Bills Blue Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Considering Long and Nsekhe are likely replacing Ducasse/Miller, and Mills. It's hard not to be considered somewhat of an upgrade. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurker Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 11 minutes ago, Bray Wyatt said: I get how they can manipulate the figure, it seems odd to call a 2 yr deal front loaded or backloaded. 7.7 mill in guarantees still would seem to indicate some sort of cap hit if they cut him yr 2. It sounds like they gave him back up money with potential to be starter money with incentives to me He'll likely get most of the $7.7 million in guaranteed money this year, meaning no dead cap if they cut him in 2020. If he works out, he'll then be on essentially a 1-year $7 million contract in 2020, with no dead cap in 2021. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleeding Bills Blue Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 So far they have added players that they see staying for 2-4 years. I'm waiting for a 1yr contract for someone trying to reestablish value. Ansah or daryl williams fit this profile. If they flame out - not on the hook. If they don't - then we're in the comp pick game in 2020 free agenyc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably half the cost of a Daryl Williams signing so if we’re moving in another direction, should be interesting to see what we do with that money. Zingy Ansah is visiting the Bills tomorrow. Signing him would take pretty big bucks I think. Edited March 12, 2019 by FLFan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
