Ethan in Cleveland Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Good move. Still relatively cheap for a guy that can be a low end starter. I wonder if in camp they give him and Elam some reps at nickel. I dont think Johnson is going anywhere but if he went down for an extended length of time I would want to know if either of those guys can play inside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Pitt, Dane never played nickel but has quickness/aggression to play there. Originally thought that's where he'd focus in the NFL, given he lacks ideal speed for outside. But he's very good depth/low-end starter material. Solid re-signing at $2.7m. I still think we should draft a pure nickle corner in the late rounds, as you said, we need depth at inside corner and could look to deploy more dime looks...depending how MLB is addressed and/or plans to use Benford as a 3rd safety/dime Edited March 14, 2023 by MasterStrategist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Not bad for a team's #4-#5 corner. Just needs to turn around even when he gets beat on a pass. Now, find that safety to partner withh Hyde in FA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheyCallMeAndy Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Fantastic, Dane Jackson is pretty good. Bills did a great job developing him. This also might bring the official Benford to Safety transition. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason I thought it would be under 2 Dane Jackson is a RFA. If the Bills do not "tender" him a contract, he becomes an UFA. Original round tender is $2.7M. The price cannot be lower. If a team offers him more, the Bills can match OR let him go and get a 7th round pick (his original draft round). Now, Dane could sign for lower with the Bills and give up his tender option (like Cam Lewis did) but Jackson thinks he is worth more. It's his right to do this. Personally, I think a team will offer a contract higher and he signs it. 1 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In essence he will be an UFA and can sign with the team for any terms after March 15th, but the original team could lose him to anyone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColoradoBills Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 I think the original round tender is a good move by Beane. He can let Dane see what he is worth and then Beane can match if he likes it. If some team throws some money at Dane (which is a possibility) Bills will get a 7th round pick. A 2nd round tender is $4.9M which is too much for Dane IMO. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's our most physical corner, and great depth behind White, Elam & Johnson. Yeah, I've always liked Jackson and from what I saw from him this past season he had a kinda up and down year. With Hyde going down so early, it can be a little of an adjustment when not having that kind of help and trust over the top you're used to having. Anyway, I don't know if that scary injury may have been a factor...but I feel like he played better before than after the injury. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCBills Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 If we get Dane Jackson back for 2.7M, I’ll take it. He’s good depth and a spot starter that can hold it down pretty well, comparatively to CB depth in the league. Given the strength of this FO in drafting Day 3 secondary players, I’d almost rather they just let Dane walk and draft a guy to be CB4 .. unless the plan truly is to transition Benford to Safety .. in which case having Dane back as primary depth makes a lot of sense.
