The Jokeman

Mike White likely gets the job, I wonder if when we cut Mitch for cap space.

He's a good player but at 31 yeah idk seems a tad risky.

We need a NT aka a guy that can take on two offensive lineman at once and let guys like Oliver and Bernard to be clean to tackle ball carriers or rush the QB. Think Ted Washington, Pat Williams, Fred Smerlas, Booger McFarland, Tim Bowens, Tony Siragusa....

Thankfully he didn't start sooner or we would have never bottomed out to be in a position to get Bruce Smith and some of the other talent we acquired. In retrospect Kelly playing in the USFL helped us getter the talent he took advantage of when he got here. Toss in trading Greg Bell for Bennet forced us to take a chance on a RB named Thurman Thomas the draft the following year etc.

Levitre was a pretty solid guard when he was here, in fact he an all rookie but think that season Wood played Guard. Toss in Wood also played with Ritchie Incognito who was a pretty good player (note I said player not person). I'd put Wood in same class as Morse but maybe give more to the latter as seemed to have a bit more leadership to him.

Trey McBride disagrees with this argument.

With what picks? Two low end 2nds likely get us marginal rookie production and adding Metcalf takes away a significant amount of cap room to preventing us signing other guys. I understand the appeal but until we fix the defense this team is likely not going to go any further in the playoffs.

As a cut he wouldn't count in the free agent lost/add formula. He is a health risk for sure but he's be on a list of maybe guys.

Fair assessment.

Maybe him being the 6th best CB in coverage or being 5th best CB overall? https://www.pff.com/nfl/players/christian-benford/79181#gradesWidget

Another hole for them to fill. The Bills fan in me likes it.

The question I have is if we prevented the miracle would those feeling we should have started Flutie feel the same way? Or who would we start the next game?

Well it was a nice thought.

Kirk lined up in the slot 76.8% of the time in slot last year. By contrast thought Lockett was more a slot guy cuz of his past but only 27.1% of the time last year.

It depends on the position tbh. I can see doing it on RBs or LBs as traditionally these positions not vital to sign to second contracts. Or if looking to fill short term depth and okay going for an older guy. Yet if looking for impact and/long term solution ideally want someone 22 or younger.
