In Buffalo - he was competing with Norman for the KJ role as Outside CB 3/4 with partial playing time. That role got KJ a puny 1 year 3.5M deal with Cleveland - so I truly understand the thought process. I just think if they ask him to be CB1 and play a bunch of man - he is going to be exposed. Expand Would have been better-served being the #2 CB in Buffalo, having a great year and then cashing in in FA next year.

Expand In Buffalo he'd have to compete for a starting job, in NJ he's guaranteed a spot. Wouldn't make sense for a CB to sign a 1 year prove it deal here. Our depth actually works against us there. 2

And likewise if he can't handily win the #2 CB spot and needs it to be handed to him.

Expand Yes, but that did not work out great for KJ as playing part time got him a 1 year 3.5 M deal in Cleveland. If he could surely beat out Norman and Wallace and would be the full time #2 - it would make sense, but splitting time is hard. I also think the CB1 gig in NYJ will cause some issues for him, but we will see.

Again if he's looking to just be named a starter and not have to compete, he's not who the Bills want.

I wanted him the other day, but he signed elsewhere so now he’s terrible. ??? Expand On 3/22/2020 at 7:13 PM, Doc said: Well, if he'd rather play for the Jets... Expand That's alright. He will have his one good year, then want to get away from Gase, and the Bills can scoop him up next year.
GreggTX Posted March 23, 2020 Posted March 23, 2020 Looks like Beane was snoozing. I hope he has a better plan than Noman and Johnson as starters.
