Bills sign DT Tim Settle, formally of Washington Commanders.

Never heard of him. Does he actually fill the need at DT or is he just a backup depth guy?

 

I do like that we are adding to the lines in FA. Use our early draft picks on the big money positions (WR, CB).

Hard to say honestly. Hard to even sniff the field in Washington with their top 3 DT’s. I think he’s more of an untapped guy still

“The Washington Commanders have arguably one of the best defensive lines in the NFL. Jonathan Allen, Daron Payne, Montez Sweat and Chase Young are all former first-round picks.

 

So, it is sometimes easy to forget about Washington’s other defensive linemen. Matt Ioannidis and Tim Settle are Washington’s reserve defensive tackles, and both could start for other teams. Ioannidis remains a part-time starter and key rotation piece for the Commanders.

 

What about Settle?

After four years in the NFL, Settle is a free agent and will for an opportunity to start somewhere. He should have multiple options after showing flashes during his time with the Commanders.

Remember liking him in the 2018 draft. From his draft profile:

 

“Settle has rare gifts for a big man with good mass, play strength, quickness, and agility. His substantial jump in production in 2017 was due to weight loss and additional conditioning that allowed him to play more snaps and play faster. He's a disruptive, versatile defensive lineman who offers enough pass rush potential to warrant reps on passing downs. Settle is a natural 4-3 fit but can play in a 3-4 as well. He has the potential to become a very good starter with a Pro Bowl ceiling if he controls his weight and maintains his conditioning.”

 

Edit: BTW his pro comparison was some guy named Vince Wilfork.

Does this mean to Harry? 😭

It's very likely that people here value Harry wayyy more than the Bills do. 

 

At the end of the day, he's had a handful of decent games in 4 years. 

 

Great dude though.

  • MAJBobby changed the title to Bills sign DT Tim Settle, formally of Washington Commanders.

Washington has a lot of talent at that position and it was difficult for him to get a lot of snaps.    They say he played well when called upon and looks good enough to get the opportunity to play a lot more snaps.   Good pass rushing DT

Working alongside Jonathan Allen, Daron Payne and Matt Ioannidis, Settle has never played more than 364 defensive snaps in a season. However, he has shown enough in that limited role to be an intriguing offseason acquisition who could take on more snaps, earning PFF pass rushing grades above 70.0 in each of the past two years.

Buffalo could be in need of some additions to its interior defensive line, depending on what happens with Harrison Phillips in free agency. At worst, Settle would be a relatively cheap depth piece with some upside.

Yes!!!  Love me some Tim Settle.  Harrison’s replacement?

Looks that way to me.  Fills a need.  Competes with a rookie and others for a spot in the rotation.  I bet modest money.  Only 24 and barried behind Allen and Payne.  I like it.

I see him as more of a big 3T...........he's an effective interior pass rusher.

Yeah he’s a pass rush demon for a big dude.  I think he’s a going to take the double teams and leave Ed single blocker.  If teams double Ed, Settle will wreck 1 on 1.
I’m thinking 1T will be Settle and a 4th or 5th Ed pick.
