Signed with Eagles then Falcons as UDFA, spent a year primarily as a PS member with the Seahawks Started 10 games for the Seahawks last season Other than the fact that this guy's contracts have been for the Birds, would he be worth a look as a player we could develop?

Alphadawg7 Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 We don't need another safety right now. We need to spend that money elsewhere. 2 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFanForever19 Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 We re-signed Jordan Poyer, have Micah Hyde returning from injury, and just signed one of the top FA Safeties who could start elsewhere as a Backup. Safety is covered. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Says Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 (edited) How many safeties do you need? Bills have Poyer, Hyde Rapp, Hamlin ,Anderson, Mayden. Talk of Benford , Neal and Lewis maybe playing some safety. Edited April 4, 2023 by Herb Nightly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreggTX Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Not sure. He's not what I want in a starter, but too good to be content as a backup S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk of Lewis and Lewis maybe playing some safety. Poyer and Hyde are 32 years old. Poyer was gimping around with multiple injuries at the end of last season; Hyde feels great now, but he's recovering from neck surgery and until he's on the field giving and taking hits there will be a question in my mind, "can he still play?" Rapp is a legit NFL starting-capable backup, no question there. Good add. Hamlin played better, I thought, as his playing time increased. If he comes back at the same level, we're likely set save for a late round pick. But I felt he was a marginal starter before the whole cardiac episode. If he does come back will it be at the same level? Don't know. So do we need another guy? If Hamlin comes back and is playing at the same level probably not. If he comes back and is not playing at the same level, or doesn't come back, probably so. Mayden is a PS guy from the Eagles going into his 4th season without ever having started a game Zane Anderson is a special teamer who might be able to lay safety, we don't know. Neither of them are guys I want to see starting at safety. Lewis played some safety last season. I don't wanna see that again. YMMV.

BigAl2526 Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 If there are too many safeties on the roster, the Bills can cut a guy to add someone who is better. The price is the bigger issue. I'll let the Bills figure that out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOUSE Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 There are some concerns about Hyde and Hamlin, the money appears doable. Could happen.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCofNC Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 If there were not a lot of other concerns on the roster and you didn’t have 3 guys who could all start, then sure. I’d love to have somebody better as a back-up at #4, but let’s be real, that’s not the priority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
