MrEpsYtown Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 I think Rapp helps and I am sure that money is much lower. I'll wait and see what they do at the other spot. On the surface, he seems like a box safety, but he played a bunch in the Hyde high safety role and he looked pretty good doing it. Rapp just needs to learn to wrap!

Blackbeard Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Nice, aggressive player, but McD ABSOLUTELY needs to reign in the stupid hits. On the fence with Rapp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't like this signing, we"re better off keeping Poyer then this guy who played out of control and that seems like way too much money.

Actually, the pretty good tackler for a safety just needs to rain in the knockout hits that’s taking out his own players 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was hoping it would be for 3-4M a year tho It very likely is 3-4 mil per year, remember, it is an “up to” 14 and change, with incentives, deal. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLFan Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 This is a solid move in my mind. Is there even another safety on the roster? Rapp is at least a known quantity and he knows their scheme. They are not done with this position so let’s see what they have in mind, but if people envisioned somehow capturing lightening in a bottle again with Hyde and Poyer replacements, I think they should adjust their short term expectations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freddie's Dead Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Bummer, sorry to see him go. The Bills should have re-signed him. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Process Posted March 7 Author Share Posted March 7 Don't love the signing to be honest, especially when you consider the FA pool.... There are gonna be some decent safeties going for little money because of how deep it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know the max is 3years / 15 mil but how much of that is incentives? I think the Bills can still get one of these guys for a 1 year value deal and draft a safety in a later round too.

DapperCam Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 9 hours ago, JerseyBills said: why? Thought he brought a great intensity back there that McD loved I don’t think he was great in pass coverage, and was a walking personal foul. If the contract is actually full of incentives and the guaranteed money is more like a backup then it’s fine. But I’m hoping he at least has serious competition from another FA or draft pick for the starting role. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEpsYtown Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 At the end of the day, I think he is pretty much replacing Siran Neal. At worst, he is on special teams and maybe plays some dime. It's a safe add because he could potentially be one of the starting safeties and if he isn't he will still be productive and provide value. With all the safeties on the market I think it is obvious they will add 1 if not two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transplantbillsfan Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Poyer replacement. Knows the system and played much better to end the year. Now get Hyde's replacement 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm less fine with him being pencilled in as a starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes perfect sense cause he'll be playing way more in the box and suits his style. Idk ,I'm a fan of the move. How many personal fouls? 2?

Prospector Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 I just hope he opens his eyes this year when he flies in for a hit. He absolutely nailed our own players, while whiffing the offensive dude, multiple times last year... and they were usually head shots. If he goes for a kill shot, please please please, I hope he makes sure it's not taking out his teammate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a few close ones uncalled, and I think I remember him smoking his own teammate twice. He reminds me of Sandejo where he launches himself like a rocket when he hits. For his snap count, it was noticeable. Maybe McDermott can rein him in. Edited March 7 by DapperCam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
