Hebert19 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Not sure how anybody could complain about this. Low-risk in a position of need and we saw how ugly it got when Milana was out of the lineup 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they will likely pull a Kroft and renegotiate his deal to just above his dead cap hit for one year. But that still means he will be on the roster with 4.5 million yuck 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My personal opinion is yes based on what I know of his playing history, but I’d be lying if I had much to point to recently. Age is certainly catching up to him.

947 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Lee ran a 4.47 40, that's ridiculous for a LB. If he can tackle at all, he's an upgrade from Klein. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we have ANY hope at all this year at making a run, Beane needs to do something. He's better than Klein. He's young as hell and he had enough talent to be drafted 20th. Had 94 tackles in 17 and 3 ints in 18. There's gotta be a spot for him. Edited October 29, 2020 by LABILLBACKER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msw2112 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I have no problem with this signing. I assume it's for short-term and low money. If he pans out, we have some much-needed depth. If he doesn't, we move on the to next guy. We don't know if he will pan out, but we do know that he was a high draft pick, has good speed, has NFL experience and plays linebacker.

CNYfan Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I thought Bowles drafted him because he kind of looked like Bowles. He was a "Defend against the Patriots" pick where it was thought he could keep up with the backs out of the backfield and TE's, I think.

BarleyNY Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Lee is a great athlete, but FWIH he did not put football first and was much more interested in doing some very serious partying. I hope he’s got himself together. I’d love to see what a focused and clean Lee could do in the NFL. There’s probably little risk on the Bills side so I’m sure they can part ways if things aren’t good with him. Fingers crossed that they are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgrochester55 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 I do not know much about Lee and don't expect him to be a star, but a linebacker with starting experience and ability to cover a pass is by default an upgrade over Klein. I like that Buffalo is realizing the need and adding people. Hopefully he can help in a similar way that Corey Liuget did when signed in the mid season last year.
