Looks like a nice player to me.  Appears to have played SS, General DB and FS

Has a knack for taking it to the house when he gets the ball.

 

4 Defensive TDs in the last 4 years  + Championships with TB and KC

His 48% completion percentage (15-31) is outstanding. 
 

I think this signals the Bills will draft a safety. 

They were going to draft a safety either way, but a 1 year deal.seems pretty temporary- like they plan to take one who could compete to start in a year (or sooner).  Not a premium position, but still a hole to fill.

This is the definition of a backup/ST player.

 

As of now, we have 2 backups (Lewis, Edwards), a fringe starter/better used in subpackages (Rapp), and a likely to be cut player (Hamlin).

 

I was hoping we'd sign a solid starter in FA, possible we still do, but looks like we might be spending an early pick.

8 ints and 5 Fumble recoveries in 28 starts is actually very impressive. 

 

Remember Poyer before coming here was considered depth n turned into an all pro. McD is a DB whisperer and he clearly has some potential to work with

It's possible we will sign another safety yet IMO


Yes but the length of Edwards deal will be irrelevant to that…

 

Watch the money .. also Beane back to comp bingo now if over $3m

 why shouldn't there be frustration here? The guy has been playing like a backup for the last couple years. He has not been a credible S since 2021...

 

 

Q in the Flamer in 3... 2... 1...

Really???  Why does he take the ball away at such a high rate, including 3 playoff INT's  on 2 SB Teams and 4 Defensive TDs

I was hoping they'd sign Blackmon.  Based on what (little) I know, Blackmon is the better player.  Signing Edwards does not preclude them from also signing Blackmon (or Simmons), but I assume it makes it less likely.

I mean all we had was Rapp, Cam Lewis and Hamlin.....so I'd say still a decent chance we sign another

Certainly doesn’t make it more likely

Just putting this here again to help the haters of this signing.

Simmons or Blackmon would be awesome 


Wasting valuable cap space on high end safeties doesn’t seem like a prudent idea . 
 

I get that you are all excited but McDermott gets the most out of the secondary and we need help elsewhere

I don't necessarily disagree - but if there is one area that this staff is great at coaching, and turning average players into starters, it's the secondary.
