Bills still looking to add to DL in FA per Beane

I would be ok with him, maybe even a 2 yr deal. Would you do it before the draft or wait to see what we do in the draft?

I don’t think I would do it before the draft. Not a big Suh fan, I don’t think he’s a consistent player.

I believe he said he was in a holding pattern right now and they were likely done looking at FA DL at this point, but maybe after the draft (seems like he was open to picking up someone who might be available via trade or getting cut as a result of a team drafting a younger player). 

 

Hughes is often in a holding pattern by other teams OL.   Get him some help, and that should likely decrease (hopefully).

Buffalo has 3 quality DTs on the roster now, and they need four for the rotation they want to run.  They have three quality defensive ends.  Shaq Lawson is going into the fourth year of his rookie deal, and it's not guaranteed the Bills will pick up his fifth year option.  Trent Murphy is in the middle of a three year deal, but given his health issues last season it's uncertain he'll survive to play out the last year of his deal.  Jerry Hughes will be 31 in the upcoming season and his contract expires.  While Eddie Yarbrough is a likeable player, that doesn't change the fact that he's a fringe guy.  The bottom line is it's a no brainer to assume that Beane is not done addressing the defensive line this off season.

It’s true... scouting report on him must be lacks ooomph or hand technique to fight through holds. 

 

Love the guy though. Still disruptive.  He can get held every play, all day long yet still works his tail off until the final whistle, every single snap...

When they asked Beane about extending him the first thing he said is how much they respect him and he’s the vet leader now with Kyle gone. Knowing how much they value having a vet leader in each position group I could see them try to extend him at least 1 year if not 2.
