dave mcbride Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I would love me some Geno Atkins. Huge upgrade even if he’s not quite who he once was. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2020/10/20/report-geno-atkins-frustrated-by-role-with-bengals/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GimmeSomeProcess Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 He’s not the space eater I want but I’m all over this. He commands a double every time he’s out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJBobby Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 He will be just another 3Tech to throw in the mix. The team needs a 1Tech, 2Gap space eater. Fixes so much. 1. Oliver can then play where he belongs the penetrating 3Tech 2. LBers can stay clean in the Run game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thenorthremembers Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Unless they start cutting players they dont have the cap space. Atkins is due 8 million more this year, and the Bills have under 4 left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either Snacks or trade but we can't wait anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Cubed Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Based on what I saw, the Bills don't need another 3T. The Chiefs absolutely steam rolled that DL with combo blocks on the smaller DTs. This allowed an OL to easily get to the second level and block off our LBs. Now, the Bills invited this with showing very lite boxes. Interestingly, when they brought Poyer down to stop the run late in the game, they were somewhat successful. Saying all that, I think they need a space eating DT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Wagon Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Should have called Snacks Harrison the moment Star opted out. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huge upgrade even if he’s not quite who he once was. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2020/10/20/report-geno-atkins-frustrated-by-role-with-bengals/ It would only put us over the cap right now by around $5 - $6 million. Then it would make us less likely to have money to roll over to next year and unless we cut Atkins before next year, we'd be already $9 or so mill over the cap for next year. The guy's great. The fit's questionable, since the McDermott D needs a space-eating 1-tech. The situation of bringing extra money contracts on board the year before a massive cap cut makes big moves very very very unlikely.

Not saying you’re wrong, but the production has always been there and he is a LOT more accomplished than Ed Oliver. 1 minute ago, Thurman#1 said: It would only put us over the cap right now by around $5 - $6 million.

How much does Bell count against KC’s cap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could really use that for a position of need now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangarang Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Atkins is 32 and is owed $30 mil over the next 2 years. It’s a no from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
