HappyDays Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Hopefully a late round rookie or UDFA pushes him off the roster. Players 49-53 on the roster need to be on late round/UDFA rookie contracts, not veteran contracts. If we brought him in to compete nothing wrong with that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Joe Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 6 minutes ago, CNYfan said: This is kind of funny. They must see the value here somewhere. We have 11 draft choices, there are likely guys like this (without the experience) available on day 3. I don't know what this is about. I believe DL is a must in FA at this point. Let’s see what guaranteed money they have given this guy… and what his deal is .. he still mightn’t make the 53… They can also draft guys on the DL as well with those picks … and I would probably prefer getting some young guys with some potential of upside, rather than shopping in the Poona Ford, Tim Settle bargain basement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can spot start and is a good special teams player. Are we really taking the opinions of Eagles' fans now? Good one 👍 They're the Fins and Jets of the NFCE .

NewEra Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 (edited) Dodson 2.0. Hopefully he won’t have to play, but considering we have 2 small and somewhat injury prone LBs, I’ll much happier with him out there than AJ Klein Edit: or maybe we’re going to trade Milano? 🤷🏻♂️ kidding kidding, but you never know Edited March 12 by NewEra 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEpsYtown Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 (edited) 44 minutes ago, TheyCallMeAndy said: Because he sucked vs us? I get this isn’t prime Bobby Wagner, but come on. Y’all are mad because we signed a cheap, athletic, proven solid LB lol This MB is wild. If they signed him for league minimum, under that 1.7 million comp number, then great. Good depth. Anything more than that is ridiculous. To me these are the types of signings you make in June after the draft.

GASabresIUFan Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Really interesting signing. I guess that means the Spector is going to be the primary LB on Special Teams. I suppose he is Milano health insurance?

skibum Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Not a big splash, and maybe he doesn't even make the team, but you gotta have depth at LB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I know is that the LB and secondary were trash for them last year Yeah, and clearly with Edmunds, Milano, Bernard, Dotson, etc., Beane and McDermott don’t have a clue when it comes to LB talent. Big “yikes”. Philly fans on a message board should be running the Bills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone high on their board falls into Day 3, I don't think this signing will affect them drafting another LB. That's what these insurance type UFA signing are about.

WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Really? Because the one position I thought the Bills might have an overabundance of depth at was LB.

TPS Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Here's a nice piece on him when the Jets picked him up in 2021. https://jetsxfactor.com/2021/02/19/new-york-jets-free-agent-profile-las-vegas-raiders-lb-nicholas-morrow/ Quote Outstanding coverage in 2020 Morrow was a backup-quality player over his first three seasons (more on that later), but in 2020, he ascended to an elite level in coverage. Dropping back into coverage on 411 snaps over 14 games, Morrow was targeted 53 times and allowed 36 catches for 265 yards, four touchdowns and 10 first downs. That’s a conversion on just 26.4% of pass attempts, well below the 2020 league-wide average of 36.3%. Morrow allowed only 5.0 yards per target, third-best among linebackers to face at least 30 targets in their direction, trailing only Roquan Smith and Lavonte David. His average of 0.64 yards allowed per cover snap placed at the 86th percentile among qualified linebackers, while his Pro Football Focus coverage grade of 70.4 landed at the 83rd percentile. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SydneyBillsFan Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 People are getting unnecessarily wound up over this type of signing. Beane made one thing very clear - we will not be making many splash signings as we have very limited cap space. We all need to keep this in mind.

Paup 1995MVP Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 1 hour ago, LABILLBACKER said: This is the only thing that's a little suspect. He is about Ronnie Lott's size. And I remember Lott to be amazing. Matakevich can't play NFL LB. He might hot be able to play High School LB. And Klein moves like George Blanda in his later years. Guy was starting and calling D signals for a team that had just played in the Super Bowl. I doubt he sucks. And is probably pretty decent given the numbers he had last year. Our LB's are always getting injured. Welcome Nick Morrow. Lets get you that Super Bowl ring you've been longing for!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our depth guys always end up playing. Because the NFL is the injury league. And last year our special teams sucked. (Good to see Neal was finally cut. Did he make more then half a dozen good plays in his career w the Bills?) And if this guy can make some plays when called upon at LB. And maybe be good on ST, then its a strong signing. Beane ain't signing scrubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
