Bills sign DT Tim Settle, formally of Washington Commanders.
Niagara Dude replied to MAJBobby's topic in The Stadium Wall
Get him in the workout facility , lets hope they include workout bonus because he has some skills Strengths: Tough run defender Very strong Surprising athleticism for a big, thick nose tackle Rare explosion at the point of attack for a nose tackle Can contribute in the pass rush Can fire by guards with speed Collapses the pocket Active hands Perfect fit as a 3-4 nose tackle Good fit as a 4-3 nose tackle Can eat up double teams Closes well for a heavy tackle Impressive ability to shed blocks Frees up edge rushers, linebackers Weaknesses: Won't play every snap in the NFL which has been true to this point Will be a rotational player Will have to monitor his conditioning Limited to nose tackle role Lacks length to be a five-technique Not a fit as a three-technique One-year wonder -

He seems to have pass rushing skills for a large man -
2022 Free Agency - Around the NFL Thread

No but they keep getting comp picks for being cheap You don't believe they just added two top defensive players this offseason? -
Surprised not hearing more Bills restructures/cuts
Niagara Dude replied to jahnyc's topic in The Stadium Wall
Based on what Beane stated before today, he wanted to protect Josh Allen and did not expect any major free agent signings. This guard signing was both not a major free agent signing and it falls into his words about protecting Allen. Still early but are we expecting too much and all these rumours/ sources saying Bills are interested in various top free agents are guys looking for clicks or agents looking to drive price up? I just don't see any major activity to clear cap space -

Terrible on two front, because the Chargers are building an elite defence and Pats receive another 3rd comp pick -

Chargers are winning the offseason and that defence has play makers on all levels, Bills have few if any players on defence AFC is going to real tough to make it to Super Bowl. Those 13 secs are starting to get me pissed off again -
So far we signed Sanders last season and Saffold this season. Both players are on the wrong side of 30 and we still don't have numbers on Saffold, I do agree, that having Allen helps, but football careers are short and players follow the money and want to get paid. Look at our defence, you have plenty of guys all making great money and I still don't see any lights out play makers. Not one offered any discount to play with the Bills and you can include Morse today. He had a little leverage after finishing strong last season and ended up getting 12 million guaranteed today. So he signed for market value & Bills only saved 2 million on his cap with now a 9 mll cap number. I don't think you can call this something amazing bargain deal because he wants to stay in Buffalo.

Either sign them or keep quiet

I think Beanre had to choose between Williams and Morse, I still think they will ask Morse to take another pay cut and if he cannot trade Beasley he will be asked to accept pay cut or released. Way too much noise on signing various players for nothing to happen and to sign any free agents that can help improve the team they need to make cuts and restructure or just no cap space to do it.

Just look at the play makers the Chargers now have on defensive side of the ball. That KC game was ours if we had a defence that could make some plays and get off the field just like Cincy's D did the following week. As much as I like Allen, it's asking too much of him to expect scoring on all possessions to win games. Our defensive stats were more because Frazier was playing soft zones with both safeties way back and not allowing the big play. How many long time consuming drives did our defence give up last season. That side of the ball just does not have any play makers and sorry but Milano is not some star play making LB when it comes to big games. Very disappointing if he does nothing, this would be like the trade deadline where you have some fans thinking were so good we don't need anything. I just don't see us getting anyone in the draft that is going to make a huge difference on defence in their first season -

I think this works if your team is loaded with elite talent on both sides of the ball, but beyond Allen/Diggs on offence and White who is returning from an ACL we don't have any elite players to wash/rinse and repeat. I think Davis/Knox could get there and maybe Rousseau own defence but it's hard to win a chip without having big time play makers and then hopeful you find one in the draft drafting so low. The good news is Allen is a stud, but he still needs talent around him to win -

You could make an argument that he overpaid Milano but no way are the Bills letting him go. That makes no cap sense, Milano is a good but not great player who I said last season was worth 6-8 million tops. Those who think he is worth more show me all the big plays he makes in big games against good QB'S. Right now I could see them cutting ties through a trade with Edmunds who will be making 12 mil and expect and extension paying him even more. That would be a huge cap mistake. -

Maybe Beane is going to do nothing and all these rumours of Bills looking sign various players turn out to be a nothing burger. If that is true it would be a huge mistake because Bills do not have enough talent/play makers on defensive side of the ball. -
They cannot just admit they screwed up not drafting Allen over Baker Mayfield who is a bust at this point for a #1 overall pick when you compare him to Allen. They went with the hype, so did national media and sponsors who awarded Baker with endless off the field endorsements. Allen is the real deal stud QB and now they trying everything possible to make Baker their bust #1 overall pick look good. How many star receivers have they traded for now?

Yes I saw later the part of no guarantee money

The county would own the stadium, the narrative of Billionaire owners accepting tax money is the reason why we heard the Bills will make big splash money move to offset any public criticism. In order to make a splash move the Bills need to restructure current contracts and offer signing bonuses that gets spread over the length of the extension and lowers cap number.

Yuck! could someone explain why we are bringing this guy back?
-
Last thing the Bills need to do is waste another pick in their top 3-4 on a RB, this guy would not push Singletary and most likely plays special teams. I told never to stay away from Cody Ford and not buy the hype on him and Bills went ahead passed a superstar Metcalf who has world class speed for Cody who may not even be on this team this season. There was to many very fast 4.3-4.4 guys in this draft and that is what this team needs to add this offseason to the RB position.
-
Unless 5th round and up this would be a terrible pick because of all the available top speed RB's in this draft. This would be another wasted pick, no thanks plenty of 4.4-4.3 guys in this draft. I don't care about his quickness and making guys miss, this NFL and you need to either run over or run by guys.
