Warriorspikes51 Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 This isn’t my idea so credit to the posters who have mentioned DJ Reader as a UFA target. Here is a look back at our interest in him last time he was a UFA. He was a problem at Houston in the WC Then he dominanted for Cindy in Divisional He is 29. He did tear his quad late in the season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADOLBILZ Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Beane wanted him bad enough to pursue him in an 8 figure AAV market even though he was stuck in the middle of his terrible Star Lotulelei deal. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsPride12 Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 I wanted DJ Reader so bad back then but I don't remember the Bills showing that much interest at the time? Thought it was more of a fans wishful thinking kinda thing 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not one of those you gotta go out and sign all these big name free agent kinda guys but that's definitely one move I wish Beane would've pulled the trigger on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBeaneBandit Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Perfect compliment to Oliver imo. Dude is 4 years younger than Jones as well. It'll cost, but it would be worth it man. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously he got hurt late in the yesr but before that he was still an elite 1T and one of the best run defenders up front in the entire league 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Sounds like the cut rate guy who shows up at your wedding reception, and plays lame records. 'Don't Be Cruel' polka, and similar. * Even worse, our in plant credit union had an annual social and dinner at a nice restaurant. One year they hired one of the design engineers to indulge everyone in his hobby - the accordion.

They can create 30+ million in cap space pretty reasonably. But they have a lot of players they need to sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DQ comes much cheaper for more production. His injury was more impactful than White’s. He made Oliver better as well as our run defense .

I don’t think we’ll ever see that type of UFA deal from Beane again. That was a go for it type of situation. The worst possible scenario happened, torn acl.

Same with J.P. If either ever plays a full season, I'd be shocked. We need Sweat, Taylor, Smith and Javon Solomon. Beane will build a Dline just like the Oline.
