YoloinOhio Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 (edited) Hmm there an interesting CB2 option. Falcons scheme is similar to a Bills. Other teams are more CB needy though. Edited March 16, 2020 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atlbillsfan1975 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 (edited) He is a boom or bust type CB. I think he would do great in the Bills scheme with McDermott and Frazier coaching him. Having said that I do believe Trufant will most likely get a multi year offer at or above what the Bills just gave Josh Norman. With Tre needing a new deal closing in on $20 mil a year, I think the plan for the Bills is to draft another CB this year that plays on a rookie deal to keep the position spending somewhat in check.

Which would be the best course of action. We should draft to try and keep the cost control from getting out of hand. Like you said Tre is about to get his money, need to have good affordable options across from him. There are also a lot of very good options in this draft, if it does happen that is lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We return all starters and added Norman. If anything they'll re-sign Johnson. Edited March 16, 2020 by Buffalo_Stampede Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Levi Wallace was not good last year, Kevin Johnson may or may not be coming back, Norman is not good. The Bills would absolutely be wise to look to add. Most likely via the draft. Again, far from being set outside of Tre at CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Falcons are just in a terrible position with the cap. They are an example of why ‘going all in’ and over spending in FA or over spending on signing your own guys is a bad idea. Dimitrof and Quinn have believed they are a player away for multiple years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No trade market for Trufant? He hasn’t been officially released yet so maybe someone will throw them a pick for him. Have to think some CB needy team would offer at least a day 3 pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted March 16, 2020 Author Share Posted March 16, 2020 (edited) BUFFALO BILLS The Bills ended the 2019 regular season with the fourth-best pass defense in the league, led by budding star cornerback Tre' White. But just because something was working one year doesn't mean it can't be even better the next. Potentially adding Trufant would not be a burden on the Bills' books. They're currently sitting in the top-5 with the third-most cap space to spend this offseason. There's also the chance they can sell Trufant on a fair price due to him coming to an already established defense with a chance to get back into the playoffs right away. Trufant on one side and White on the other. That's a cornerback duo that no offensive coordinator would look forward to any week of the year. interesting they were one of 3 teams selected Edited March 16, 2020 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha ha, even a broken clock is right twice a day. I’ll tell you why it’s crazy though. My buddy was here scouting twice this year. Once in early November and once in early December. He told me this in the November trip. This decision was already made with weeks to go in the regular season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way I’d like that for the Bills. Now a team that plays a similar D to the Bills and doesn’t have a ton of cap tied up in defensive backfield, sure.

H2o Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I just don't see us investing heavily in another CB at this point. I think we may sign another guy or two, but it will be scenarios like the one with Kevin Johnson last season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
