Tipster19 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 If so I would love to see the Bills land him. I believe he would flourish under McDermott’s defense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that a question as in "Is he actually good?" or did you mean it as the statement "He is actually good!"?

Call_Of_Ktulu Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 (edited) He definitely gives off the Jerry Hughes type vibe where a change of scenery might be all that he needs. I remember liking Floyd a lot in that draft, amazing burst, long arms and good instincts. He has the bend around the corner that all good DE’s seem to have. For the right price I would definitely be interested. Edited March 11, 2020 by Call_Of_Ktulu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Biscuit97 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 I never got why a team would give up a 1st pass rusher early. But yeah, I’d totally trade them Kroft for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thenorthremembers Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Absolutely loved the guy coming out of Georgia but I think he is strictly a 3-4 OLB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 56 minutes ago, TheBeaneBandit said: Was there a link or story here at one time? He is in 5th year of contract; if Bears do not cut they are obligated to pay full salary in March. He has not been good at sacks except against Green Bay in college or NFL. He is a versatile LB who can cover. Bears have a number of players FAs and are having cap issues. https://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/bears/ct-chicago-bears-leonard-floyd-20200310-ye7heolf5jeq7izmzrg6uh4fhy-story.html https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/bears-have-a-huge-decision-to-make-with-leonard-floyd-before-the-start-of-the-new-league-year/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaq at DE and Floyd at SLB in base 4-3 and Floyd rotating with Shaq at DE in the nickel. Oh well, neither are likely to be a Bill in 2020.

MAJBobby Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 If we are looking at the Lorax role (more LBer than DE) sure. If you are looking at a full time DE nope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me Floyd's former Dawg teammate Jordan Jenkins and a guy like Mario Addison or Emmanuel Ogbah. I haven’t watched him a ton but as others have said, each system is different. Hughes has 5 sacks in 3 years in Indy. Murphy, a big FA signing, had 15 in 3 years. as long as it’s not a character issue, I always like kicking the tires on guys with big time talent of the price is right. You can never have enough pass rushers and this defense is a great pass rusher from being elite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustWinPlease Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 He's a 3-4 OLB who has never played DE, I'd rather sign a true DE. As for LB's, I'd rather sign Kirksey or try to trade for Shaq Thompson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
