OFFICIAL: LB Darron Lee signed to Bills PS


Recommended Posts

Tweener - plays soft, and isn't good enough in coverage to play big nickel.  He doesn't have the chops to mix it up with a slot receiver, and he doesn't have the processing to play like a box safety.  So if he's milano depth, i'd be concerned about his run defense since he isn't a heady player.  Anything else and Im worried about his pass defense.

My NY JetsFan buddy says Lee has no instinct, no guts and won't hit.  "Lee sucks" were his words. He said he overruns plays, takes bad angles and avoids contact. Sounds like an Edmunds clone.  Here's to hoping he can help with the D. I really wish we could acquire some size on the DL. We are so small and with Butler hurt all the time, the alternative is getting bullrushed all the time.

Good athlete, but not a good football player.

True so far, but he is only 26 and most of his career has been spent on the dysfunctional Jets. I think taking a chance on him turning his career around is well worth it. A former 1st rndr with elite LB speed who plays STs, definitely worth a shot imo.

He has only visited, if I'm not mistaken, and there's no evidence that he is actually signing here.

There's been some tweets suggesting he is expected to sign.

this could end up being one of those underrated signings that saves us if Milano gets hurt again. This defence has been brutal when Milano is not on the field.

I think it’s pretty much a done deal. Just waiting on COVID protocols.

Its week 8 and he's a healthy unsigned UFA. He's not been a good player.  That said sometimes scheme fit can change a players career.

 

A trade I would watch for is maybe a swap of DT's, Harrison Phillips  for Giants NT Dalvin Tomlinson.
