According to Aaron Wilson with Pro Football Network, the Bills along with the Indianapolis Colts, Green Bay Packers, and New York Jets will also be looking to sign the former second round pick.

 

The Bills did have Nwosu (from USC) in for a pre draft visit when he entered the draft in 2018.

Don’t hate it.  We need another solid EDGE and shouldn’t break the bank when we’ve already spent 3 high recent picks and will have to pay Ed Oliver soon.

 

Our reality, likely, is that our outside pass rush will be dependent upon any of the young guys making a jump.. Rousseau, Basham, Epenesa.

He had a breakout season last year but I think he's a way better fit in a 3-4 

His break out season in a contract year equaled 5 sacks. Of course not sure about pressures which I keep getting told are just as important as sacks. Also not sure what % his snap count was. 

 

I actually think I'd rather hang on to Addison at that rate. He got to the QB a bit and played pretty limited snaps.  Would likely be less expensive as well.

I don't see how he's an upgrade over Obata. Why not re-sign him instead? 

 

 

Obada is really,  really bad in run defense.............unplayable bad,  which we found out is why he was available so cheap despite being huge, powerful and fast moving forward.

 

He plays tall and his lateral change of direction is horrible.

 

I don't love tryna' turn Nwosu into pass rusher 1...........but he's a much better athlete than Obada.

Yeah, he had possibly the most embarrassing play of the year getting juked out of his cleats by 44 year old Tom Brady. It turns out Obada's skill set only works if his target is standing perfectly still.

Only 8 days til the frenzy starts.

Still early, we were rumored in pre-FA to be strongly interested in a DE from Indy last year and nothing ever became of that. There is truly only 1-2 ‘insiders’ and most of Buffalo’s FA signings last year were not leaked outside of Gronk and Watt. Ertz was never confirmed by team I don’t believe (trade interest is hard to prove anyways).

First of all.........the Buffalo FA signings last year were all 1 year deals.......that's not the kind of thing that agents leak ahead of time.

 

The Bills basically didn't even participate.

 

And yeah they were reportedly interested in Denico Autry and he went for more money than most initially expected.    Autry ended up playing really well for the Titans too........put up 9 sacks and was a beast.

It humorous that folk latch onto these rumors as if they are fact, it’s an opinion piece, supposition, a guess, spit balling, I need more coffee…, 

 

Go Bills!!!

I thought I was pretty in the know on NFL players until I read this thread.

 

I've never heard of this player. 😀

I remember him from UCLA. Remember the pre draft stuff, liked him, saw he got drafted by LAC. The next time I heard/saw his name was today in this thread.

I'd prefer we spend money on OG and Gronk. Let Wallace and Trubisky walk.  Bring back Hughes and hopefully Phillips. Get rid of Addison, Butler, Ford, Gilliam, Jones, and Haack. Get a couple high comp picks. And then get a CB, DT, pure edge, WR and new punter in the draft. We have enough 4 sack DEs. 

The guy you’re resigning (Hughes) had 2 sacks last year. The guy you’re getting rid of (Addison) let the team in sacks each of the last 2 years. Otherwise I agree 100%

I see lots of opinions on the possibility.  Don't see anyone who has latched onto this rumor as if it is fact....

To me it’s just grasping at straw for unlikely outcomes,  much like mock drafts…,

And Jerry was the more effective pass rusher in each season…..without question.  Addison played better this year than the previous but still was as effective as Jerry getting pressure and beating his man.  Jerry had 7 pressures (Ed had 6) vs KC in the playoff game.  Mahomes did a helluva job evading….similar to josh.
