Bills interested in CB Steven Nelson


Recommended Posts

Would be such a good signing. 

 

But he's claiming that damn near half the league is interested in him. He could just be making up teams on no one would know. 

 

Hopefully the Bills are actually pursuing him, great fit for the team and player it would seem.

EDIT

 

Hang on can we trust this man 🤔

 

 

Well, they do say that having the ability to forget the recent past is a great quality for a CB to have. If Tim Tebow makes the Pro Bowl I’ll have Jeremy White eat a flip flop. 🤪

Buffalo needs a guy that can play some man to man.  Can’t just sit in a zone every snap 

I agree.  And TBH I imagine the change from Man to Zone, is a lot easier than a Zone corner trying to play Man.

 

He is an upgrade you can sign for a few years.

I know Nelson is considered a good man cover corner but aren't we more of a Tampa 2 zone defense?

Yeah we are.....and that’s one of our problems imo.  We need corners that can man up and play zone as opposed to corners that can play zone but can’t hold up in man

We play a fair amount of man under concepts in our zone coverage schemes, so having a guy that’s good at both is plus.

Doubt he’s gonna take less than $6-7m per year.  And a more desperate team will probably give him a multi year deal with $10m+ in guarantees.  Can’t see Beane going there.  He would’ve tried harder to get a CB in draft.  

The value at CB wasn’t there in the draft.  It’s not hard to free up 6-8M for next season.  Of the teams listed, we give him the best chance at winning a super bowl....and getting revenge on both of his former teams.  Makes perfect sense

Yes he is, Yes Bills play mostly zone, but  the Bills need a good CB who can also play man. Some matchups like the chiefs you need that element
