The Jokeman Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Could be a Darryl Williams type signing. Yet going to be hard to break into our starting 5 if ask me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBear Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Seems like a camp body/future PS kind of signing. Appears completely washed up, but if he could get back into shape, could be a nice reserve lineman given his flexibility at the OG/OT positions. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Lightning Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Well, he tore up his knee pretty badly and was still coming back from it last year. Could be a solid depth piece. 6 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushypeaches Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 It's all part of Beane's yearly cycle of having more reserve experienced OL than we can reasonably keep. Then trade the guys on the fringe for future draft picks 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beck Water Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 (edited) 9 minutes ago, SoonerBillsFan said: Well...that's interesting. Eh. It was one of our remaining holes or positions that lack depth: backup OT. He'll get to show if his back is healthy and if he's returned from the ACL/MCL he suffered late in the 2022 season. He hasn't played a regular season snap since. Spent last season on the PS. I wouldn't have thought he was a "process guy", but maybe they think he's learned something since 2021 Edited April 4 by Beck Water 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logic Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Camp competition for the swing tackle role, methinks. I really liked the way Ryan VanDemark looked, but what the hell do I know? 6 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPL Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 I'd say trading Dawkins to move up in the draft is all but done now 🙃 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logic Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 This was the dude that was expected to go in the first round, but then had the legal issue pop up RIGHT before the draft, right? And after the first round came and went without him being drafted, his agent told/asked every NFL team NOT to draft him, as he wanted Collins to be able to pick his own team? Then every team obliged, and he signed a UDFA deal with Dallas? I remember being so mad at the Bills that year for not calling his agent's bluff and just drafting him in the 7th round. What could he have really done about it? Oh well. That's milk that was spilled a looooong time ago. And now, 9 years too late, he's a Bill. He'll be an interesting bit of trivia, along with former Bills Vince Young, Matt Leinart, and Reggie Bush. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aristocrat Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 We need a safety. But he’s probably a camp body at this point. Guy has spent half his career on it. He has played both guard and tackle so could be good depth if he’s actually healthy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Process Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Contract details will be key here.....up to $6.25M sounds insane. I wonder if trading Brown is in play....I highly doubt it, but he is going into the final year of his deal. That contract just seems absurd for a depth tackle. But again hopefully the base salary is a lot less than what is being reported. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
