BuffAlone Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 this guy Is gonna play everywhere on McD's line. Perfect example of a day 2 FA that Beane shines at signing. Excited! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This d-line gonna be bigger and nastier Beane is crushing this so far. I mean quality add after quality add to go with an elite talent at WR, plus doing Poyer right. We are going to enter draft without any glaring holes and truly be able to focus on BPA throughout. I can see us grabbing in rounds 2, 3, and 4 something thing like a RB, big WR, and OT in no particular order. Young edge like Anae or someone still easily could be taken somewhere in there too or a cornerback. Edited March 18, 2020 by Alphadawg7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smitty75 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 (edited) I looked at the Seahawks social medias to learn some things about Jefferson and all i read was positive, the things that stood up the most was "He can play DT and DE, he has an high ceilling, good to put some pressure on the QB and he's still young and most the fans was disapointed to see him leave. Looks like we maybe upgraded the dline after the lost of Lawson and Phillips! Edited March 18, 2020 by Smitty75 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BruceVilanch Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I live in the PNW and a lot of my friends are hawks fans, haven't heard a negative thing about him from my friends and they seem bummed about him leaving. I honestly don't know much about him but it seems like we got a good rotational piece. In Beane I trust. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Barbarian Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Nice to get a DE with some size , maybe we can draft DE James Lynch 65 295 for bookend big boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I think my bottom line from all the changes on our DL, is that McDermott felt we struggled on run D at times last year and it cost us games. We also didn't have enough pass rush. Since you can't improve something by keeping it the same, it did not make sense to pay $10/yr each to Phillips and to Lawson. Though it is a bummer to hear that we offered 3 years/$27.5M to Lawson and he went to Miami for 3 yrs/$30M. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I quite like this addition. Versatile piece. Someone said yesterday when we signed the linebacker from the Steelers to replace Zo on teams "if you need two players to replace Zo get him to unretire!" Well I submit you really need 3. And Jefferson is one of them. The Bills liked using Zo inside as a DT in their big pass rush package and Jefferson is a replacement in that role. In our base he is a rotational "big end." 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvlevydraftdaygenius Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I think McDermott found his version of Greg Hardy. A guy that you can line up all over the defensive line. This guy had two sacks against the Eagles in the wild card game and should of had more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still not sure why we paid Butler so much... I am surprised we got Jefferson for that too. He is a guy I wanted in FA. He can play DE and drop down to DT on passing downs to get pressure from the inside. Notably he led Seattle in interior pressure rate the last two seasons. He is an upgrade from Phillips in that regard IMO, though his overall job will be a bit different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBuff423 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Beane signed him and Cover 1 loves him, so I trust he'll be a good strategic piece in this Defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aristocrat Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 if the seahawks liked him and beane likes him i'm good. it seems we are really building this d line so nobody runs the ball on us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulldog Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 This was our best free agent signing so far - I believe that fans will be very pleased with Jefferson's performance for us. A versatile guy on the DL who can play both the run & rush the passer. We also did not have to break the bank to sign him. Love this signing! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still not sure why we paid Butler so much... I'm hypothesizing that Butler was scouted by Beane, and ultimately drafted for McDermott's defense. McDermott left and the fit wasn't quite the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing on the money- is that NY takes another 2 + million of that 27.5 where Florida takes 0 of the 30 therefore the difference is really almost $5 million at end of three years.

dave mcbride Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 On paper this looks great, but why didn’t Seattle keep him and why did we get him for relative peanuts? Was it salary cap issues in Seattle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are/were definitely in a better position than them to spend some money. My guess is, they are focussed on Clowney. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got a lot of guaranteed money from Miami. I suspect the Bills did not offer the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
