Jordan Phillips is back

[Allen2Moulds]

Flame away, but he was the guy that served as our closer vs. KC. Gave the offense a chance to win the game. Because if his size, people are frustrated that he can't be the answer to our pourus run defense, but he's been a good situational pass rusher that has made plays for us. Give me him over bust, Dewayne Carter.

This tells me Carter is gone.  I saw on NFL.com they said he could be a trade candidate for someone like SF.

He's better than Carter.

I think he was already gone.

Josh Allen was drafted in 2018.

When we talk about the bills D falling flat in a big playoff game like the AFCCG, I point to this stuff. This is insane. The amount of assets poured into D and barely any sticking is negligent. They have been band-aiding for 3+ years and it’s why I would encourage a trade for some of these bigger talents.

Glad we used all our draft picks on Defense

I don't think it means anything right now.

 

I would be shocked if he was on the 53. The "later this week" and just common sense says this is just a matter of an agent leaving out the Practice Squad part of the signing.

It was already reported that he's signing to the 53 man roster.

Practice squad, love it, active roster ???

 

Guess Carter is gone and they see Phillips as somebody that can fill in while Larry O is out that they can send back to the PS when he’s back

Then that truly changes the math and is all the more puzzling.

doesn’t matter who we sign or draft. By the end of the year, the starting DL will be Jordan Phillips and Eli Ankou!

3 years, try 8

[SCBills]

If we’re trading Carter, this doesn’t bother me at all. 
 

Ed Oliver is a guy who can mentor TJ Sanders in play style and Jordan Phillips can be DT5, mentoring Deone Walker and serve as depth, if needed, especially until Ogunjobi comes back Week 7. 
 

That’s the only rationale I have though if he’s signing to the active roster.   Theres no way they keep 6 DT’s, is there?

He looked washed the last time he was here. What a bizarre decision.

Beane loves a washed D line

I said this earlier in the week, but his tendency to reach for what he knows is problematic. There will be NOBODY better available in the next 3 days? Nobody??

It’s just mind bending to me some of the decisions this GM makes that he thinks fixes holes. He brings back Tre White who looked pretty bad with Baltimore (he got torched BY THE BILLS in a playoff game) and looked even worse in LA. You don’t go sign that player with all the question marks to be a CB3 behind a rookie like Maxwell. Because if you do, you basically pencil in Hairston as CB2 and if that goes bad, you’re suddenly onto white - which we’re already at. It’s sorta a head scratcher for me and here we are bringing back a 33 yr old Phillips cuz our DL (mind you we poured draft and FA assets into) isn’t good enough.

Like I can't wrap my head around that. They must have a trade for Carter done then. Or a shock Daquan Jones cut bc they're so impressed with Walker's Camp and Pre-Season.

 

Ogunjobi being a cut or not really affects nothing bc he's exempt and if this is true, would be carrying 6 DT's on the initial 53 if they didn't make a move. And I don't see that.

[BigAl2526]

Which young and promising player will need to be cut to make room for him?

Then he doubles down on that and brings Dane Jackson back too.
