Punching Bag Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 2 hours ago, GunnerBill said: Congrats to Dane. More than I expected him to get if those numbers are true. He is a lower end serviceable CB2 in the NFL and a guy you are very pleased to have as your "first guy in off the bench" type depth. If those numbers are right that is in 6th/7th round comp pick territory as well for those still counting along at home re comp picks. Numbers are likely agent released figures and likely some incentives and other gotchas but likely still more then Bills were expecting to be paid. He did make some very good plays and depends on whether the scheme makes him a weakness or a strength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would he be starting when Dane Jackson wasn't a starter for us to begin with and both of our starters last season are returning, in Rasul Douglas and Christian Benford? Elam potentially moves from Outside CB4 off the bench (under Douglas, Benford, and Jackson) to Outside CB3 off the bench.

Marv Levy Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 He was just OK. I remember him missing an awful lot of tackles last year! See ya Dane. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malazan Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Unfortunate, but way too rich for what would be our 3rd or 4th CB 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harmonkillebrew Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 We can find depth/starting CBs for our zone D in the later rounds. No need to pay big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of the issue with our defense was use of later picks which were coached up and free agents which were discounted and under evaluated by posters. The player who Bills used high pick on and then awarded a high contract to was injured twice and is being let go. Bills no longer have two senior safeties to help disguise defenses and cover holes in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hollins contract is up to 3 Million so his base salary likely isnt above 2.5 and Morrow may but I doubt they signed him as a # 3 or 4 LB for much more than the 2.5 million.

Beane will make sure that these guys numbers will be below the minimum required to affect the comp pick situation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does what he can do OK........but you are also pretty boxed in wrt what you can do with Dane out there. We can laugh but Beane used to hand out $6M+ contracts to backup LB's and DB's left and right when he was a greenhorn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 The bottom line is that I don’t think anyone on this board is going to type the words, “damn, Dane Jackson would have made that play” during a Bills game next season. Best of luck to him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
