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.
