auburnbillsbacker Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I didnt think this was the offseason to sign a bunch of average players. I was hoping for studs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IgotBILLStopay Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 (edited) WTG. was thinking about this possibility just this morning. some info about him: 5th round draft pick in 2013. 28 years old. was a backup in 2013, the starter in 2014 and backup again in 2015 when Shaq Thompson beat him out. But has started a bunch of games for the saints when he was not injured. A solid signing of a player McD is familiar with.

atlbillsfan1975 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Exactly the kind of signing I expected. Fair deal for a player McDermott and Beane know. Klein is another culture guy who can play also still play. Not a bad way to go to end the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEpsYtown Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Klein is your starting Sam. He also has a lot of experience in the nickel and can play mike or will as well. Honestly I think he is on the field a lot and maybe the Bills use Edmunds as a pass rusher a bit more in nickel and dime situations. So basically Klein and Tremaine replace Lorax. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't have studs at every position. He started all but 1 gm for N.O the last 3 years and 71% of snaps last year. He'll be around 40% on Buffalo. So he fills a need at a reasonable rate.

Prickly Pete Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 (edited) Why do people seem to think it's bad for them to sign former Panthers? These are guys are known quantities to the the coach and GM. It's a good thing, they have another team that they know the roster of players from, and can pick from the guys that have become good pro's and maybe backups that have starter talent. And it's not like they don't sign players from other teams as well.. ***** whiners. Edited March 17, 2020 by 32ABBA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gonzo1105 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I always liked Klein for some reason, esp in Carolina. Solid player.

Milano and Edmunds are the two linebackers that are on field in pass situations. Our SLB which was Lorenzo was the player we would take off for a Nickle CB. So coverage is irrelevant Lol no it isn’t. Just because he’s on the field doesn’t mean that the offense won’t pass and he won’t have to cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
