Yikes, looking at the replies on Twitter the Philly fans are literally laughing at this signing. All I know is that the LB and secondary were trash for them last year 


 

Bills: “Our highly paid quarterback doesn’t suck.”   *mic drop*

I like Williams. He has speed and hits like a truck. I love Milano but if he does not return to form from the injury then 2024 might be his last in Buffalo with his contract. Hopefully Williams learns to play under control.

This signing, as others have said, hopefully is better and cheaper than Matakevich. Matakevich was one of the worst wastes of money in the McDermott/Beane era.

Yeah and I was hoping the likes of Rapp and Lewis and Morrow would be filled in by those cheap draft picks, not veteran contracts. Obviously the entire depth of the roster isn't going to be just rookies but can't these sorts of signings wait until we know what our draft class looks like?

The flip side of this, is having depth options already on the roster gives you more flexibility on draft day(s). Then it is best man wins.

Good, now they can let Mata walk , saves $$$$, plus he replaces T Dod and Klein.  All good.   We know who our top 3 LBs are.   Another solid Beane move. 

Honestly, we know who the top 4 are. The offseason battle between Williams and Morrow for the 3rd LB will be a good one. 


Also just saw the “late hit” he had on Allen, I’m surprised our boy didn’t win an Oscar the other night.

He's GREAT depth. Started all 17 games for the Bears and 12 games last season for the Eagles. Plays smart and fast. If Milano isn't ready to go for the first few weeks this season then this is a great pickup.

When I heard about the signing, I thought "Special Teams guy" but he's really been more of a starter the last several years. 100% of the snaps in Chicago in 2022.

 

With that, he does play ST though and it sounds as though he can play all the LB positions, so yeah Klein like in that regard.

McDermott has been loud and clear on wanting vet leadership in all the rooms and Beane has been loud and clear on not liking to go into draft day needing to fill holes.

If he’s better than Matekevich and Klein, I’m good.  We might’ve actually won the Chiefs game if we weren’t down to Klein.  

 

With all regard, that might be a separate issue.  When you're down to your 2nd or 3rd string at 2 different linebacker positions and have a guy playing in a brace, it's always going to be rough.

Honestly it makes me wonder if the Bills are moving more to 4-3. We had shockingly good depth in Spector and Dorian Williams so how do we justify Morrow when safety is such a desert

 

He's probably pretty cheap.  They only count top 53 so even a 2M deal is really just about 1M in cap space basically since it nudges someone in the 800K range off the balance sheet.  

 

Considering he was on the eagles practice squad at the end of camp in August... I don't think this is a big money deal or changes anything buffalo is doing directionally with their defense.  They usually kept 5 last season, and this puts buffalo back at 5 off ball linebackers.
