MrEpsYtown Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Good stuff here: https://www.cover1.net/safety-julian-blackmon-visiting-bills/ Also interesting note, Blackmon was drafted for Matt Eberflus’ defense in Indy. His concepts are very similar to ours, that’s why Chicago went after Tremaine Edmunds. When you watxh the video on Cover 1, Blackmon looks like a cross between Hyde and Poyer. I think he’s a great fit and my optimistic gut says it happens. 5 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man I try to will things to happen, but I must have done some bad things in my previous life. Got no luck! My positive spin is that there is a bunch of medical verbiage that needs to be in the thing.

As I pointed out, no one visiting has signed so far. Samuel etc. Just signed, no in person visits. The DT we had in signed with someone soon after visiting with us.

26TrapDraw Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Anyone have anything solid on this? Are we waiting for him to clear medical before they sign him? Are we at that point or is this a fantasy?

nosejob Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 (edited) They need to crap or get off the pot. Print some money and pay in signing bonuses but for Pete's sake do something. Glad they signed Rapp. Lewis is just a special teamer and break glass Safety. Hamlin, who knows. We need to sign 2 like today.

Not exactly immovable if they wanted to deal him Sure but a $22M dead cap for 2025 that’s the bigger issue. A 67 page thread has been dedicated to Diggs and his trade $$ cost. I’m all in for a Diggs trade while he still commands value. Just not sure it’s feasible based on what I read of the 67 pages. Just thought this thread was about Blackmon 😂 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly immovable if they wanted to deal him Again, Dude, Please Stop. You've been beating this drum over and over and over again in the Diggs thread, where it's at least topical. Now you're gonna run around the board taking this into other threads? It's an extra $22 million (minus whatever part of the $18.5M fully guaranteed salary the trade partner is willing to accept) at this point PLUS Creating a significant hole on the team by trading the best WR on the team, and the only 1000+ yd, 100 reception+ receiver we've had for the last 4 seasons. This isn't like trading Tyreek Hill where Kelce is Pat Mahomes "guy" anyway. Most people last season felt what the Bills needed was a second receiving target who is on the same or better talent level than Diggs, so "draft a WR who we hope will be good and develop to be a #1" not "replace Diggs with an unproven draft pick and cross your little fingers" Edited March 20 by Beck Water 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
