Josh Thomas, Garrett Taylor, Abraham Wallace. Also Jaquan Johnson who is a draft pick. No one beat Marlowe out. Marlowe was a UDFA himself. Turned himself into a pretty good player. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also how much do you think Marlowe’s experience in the system came into the decision to keep him around? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

His experience only matters if he plays well. No one beat him out who was brought to add competition to his roster level. 🤷🏾♂️ Edited April 8 by purple haze Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IgotBILLStopay 1,620 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 If Marlowe bolts, it will be a big loss - depth very shaky behind Dr. Poyer and Mr. Hyde. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I am hoping the “mystique” of the Lions gives us the advantage. Remember when that used to work against us? Me too. Life is good for Bills fans, no matter where Marlowe ends up. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NI Bills Fan 176 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Marlowe has now signed with the Lions. Quite surprising this one... thought for sure he'd be back. They must have a plan in place to replace him in FA or the draft as the safety depth is far from deep. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
junior12thman92 302 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 I'm disappointed in this one - was really hoping we would re-sign him. Best of luck in Detroit! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BuffaloRebound 1,509 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Good for him. This is probably his last shot to start and get a payday. I’m sure the Bills wanted him back, but couldn’t offer him either. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mountain Man 476 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 I'm pleased for him. He's earnt the right to compete for a starting job. Hamsah Nasiliredeen just seems such an obvious pick as a replacement in the draft . Versatile, strong tackling and high football IQ. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
