dreadlox Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 (edited) Didn’t see this posted. Former jests draft pick. 6’5” 325. It’s a one year deal. Decent depth or a fallback at RT?

GunnerBill Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 (edited) It's another solid vet depth move. Imagine he, Quess and Doyle are fighting for 2 jobs. And he was a day 3 guy not a round 3 guy. Edited May 29, 2023 by GunnerBill 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Awesome. Love this move. Not great, but a potential upgrade over Quess which puts more pressure on Brown. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Stampede Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 IMO this is the best Bills roster since McDermott was hired. Im hoping for one more signing, either at WR or Edge. 16 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im hoping for one more signing, either at WR or Edge. Beane deserves some criticism, but no one can really argue that he doesn’t continually upgrade the roster year after year. This year he faced a lack of cap and draft picks. Still made it happen. This is where having Allen and “the culture” comes into play. The ability to affordably sign guys like Ford, Harris, Rapp, now Shell. We always wondered how good teams stayed good … this is how. Cap will be tight again next year, and should we sign Hop… VERY tight, but Beane is loaded with picks for the ‘24 draft and could potentially gain more comp picks for ‘25 in Davis and Oliver… when we will likely still be cap strapped. 2 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
78thealltimegreat Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Have to believe that Tommy Doyle is kinda on the hot seat then as training camp starts in about 6 weeks or so and Shell didn’t do too bad as Miamis starter last year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not worried about MLB because the worst case scenario is AJ Klein starts and they have to match personnel against 3wr+ sets with Taylor Rapp as a 3rd safety. We have the personnel to play 1 LB and 3 safeties. In a perfect world a young LB steps up.

akcash Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 (edited) Watching last year Miami at Buffalo night game. Liking what I'm seeing so far. Got the weight to anchor. Little twitch for big man. 15 minutes ago, 78thealltimegreat said: Have to believe that Tommy Doyle is kinda on the hot seat then as training camp starts in about 6 weeks or so and Shell didn’t do too bad as Miamis starter last year. Yeah I bet Quess and Shell take it and Doyle IR stash or PS. Maybe gets picked up by diff team. I doubt it tho. 18 minutes ago, BuffaloBillyG said: Solid signing especially for this late in the off season. Lots of experience.

I do believe they want Brown to win the Job and Brown can with the job with how he played down the stretch last season. His biggest hole is learning how to counter pass rushers swiping his right arm up or down and getting around him. If he can fix that hes good imo. He played alot better his last 5 games than the games before that. But I like having Shell if his performance regresses again.

Warriorspikes51 Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Wait….I thought some posters said since the roster was at 90 there was no way Beane would sign anyone else🤪 this is a quality signing. He should really push Brown for starting RT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

folz Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 6'5" 324, 31 years old Drafted by the Jets in the 5th round (158th overall) in 2016 draft 83 career games, 72 games started 4 years with the Jets, 2 with Seattle, 1 with Miami Started one playoff game with Seattle When healthy, he has generally garnered 90+% of the RT snaps for his teams (over the last 6 years, he's been a starting RT) But it also looks like he has missed a lot of games due to injury over his career (16 games over the last 3 seasons) Perfect depth signing. You aren't asking him to play a full season, but when he comes in, he knows how to get the job done. I keep saying it, but Beane is trying to build an injury-proof roster (after how last season went). I love the depth the team has now...and it keeps coming. 8 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNYfan Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 I thought I saw Greg Little playing RT for the Dolphins last year. I always notice Little because he was the player that Carolina took when they moved ahead of Buffalo in that 2019 (?) draft and the Bills then drafted Cody Ford.

Quote Jeremy Fowler @JFowlerESPN Free agent OT Brandon Shell plans to sign with the #Bills, per source. Not done but trending that way. Shell played valuable starter’s snaps for Miami last season, now set to stay in AFC East. Last edited 12:06 PM · May 29, 2023 · Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
