boyst Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 In an AJE thread it occured to me that very few if anyplayers have left Buffalo in the McDermott era to succeed. I don't pay as much attention as I used to and old age is making me foggy so help me out: Who has left Buffalo in the last 6 years and succeeded? [Could be had a good year, could still be in the league, definition is objective] Two that come to mind are Hughes and Teller who definitely showed they had value after leaving. McKenzie, Singletary, Hodgins, Feleciano are active on rosters and have contributed but not gangbusters. Edmunds, Lawson, Trubisky... Who else? I really can't think of any defenders than Hughes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALLinALLEN Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 With our luck Elam will probably become a first team all pro on KC within 2 years of being cut. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan130 Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Teller. Moss. Harrison Phillips is doing pretty well Levi Wallace on par, Van roten has a starting guard job. Bills haven’t really lost a ton of key guys, so it’s hard to say. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Zay Jones in Jacksonville. Quinton Spain had a decent year in Cincinnati after he left. Honestly, the Bills have not really had to move on from any significant players yet. Tremaine Edmunds is pretty much the first one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I'd count Hughes as he was more a numbers thing and is at the tail end of his career. Was surprised to see he had 9 sacks last season. I think this is true of most FA. If the player was really good, the team would have re-signed him. Wasn't Teller traded too? That's a little different as the Bills didn't just let him go, they got something back and didn't that pick get used to draft Bass? As Marv Levy once said, Most free agents hurt the team they leave, more than they help the team they go to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's 3rd in the league in Rushing Yards, tied for 10th in Rushing TDs, 3rd in Rushing 1st-Downs, 9th among RBs for YPC, and perhaps most importantly 3rd in Carries. Goes to show you what happens if you give a RB 20 carries a game instead of three RBs 4, 5, or 6 apiece in our idiotic keep players fresh garbage MO. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our OC only knows how to dial up shotgun draw for no gain on 1st and 2nd so RB or number of carries makes little difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillyG Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Well, a few that are from the early McD days carved out long NFL careers to differing success. Bobby Trees Ronald Darby Sammy Watkins Feliciano started last year for the Giants and has seen action for SF this year. Heck you could throw a lot of guys on the Giants Daboll brought with him if "still in the league" is a qualifier. Matt Breida. Hodgins ect. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
