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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also how much do you think Marlowe’s experience in the system came into the decision to keep him around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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, 2021 by purple haze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IgotBILLStopay Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 If Marlowe bolts, it will be a big loss - depth very shaky behind Dr. Poyer and Mr. Hyde. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NI Bills Fan Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junior Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I'm disappointed in this one - was really hoping we would re-sign him. Best of luck in Detroit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gonzo1105 Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 He prob was told by the Lions he could compete for a starting role, something obviously the Bills weren’t going to do 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloRebound Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountain Man Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
