Delete This Account Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 (edited) meh. jw and i certainly don't think starting 4-5 new threads helps make the case. Edited March 7, 2013 by john wawrow
Mark Vader Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 If he signs, someone go paint "Welcome back, Leodis!" on his lawn.
sodbuster Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 i hope he steps into wilsons unofficial spot as team spokesman.
CardinalScotts Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 I would like Leodis back for his ST play but I am afraid they are going to overpay him and be forced to let him play on defense. He is not good in coverage. i will give last years staff a little credit - they did find out in the slot he's not bad
3rdand12 Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 MIght get to Levitre yet.Seems they are working their way up the food chain. May even sign Nelson as a free agent for less than the Tag....will see. yes. i can see this as a possible. Andy but even Nelson.Also glad we are working with Leo's agent already. I strongly feel he still has upside in the right hands. "oops" that was gross But you guys know what i mean. I expect Leodis can improve his ball awareness. dammit happened again i would be quite glad to keep him on the team for a reasonable offer his attitude has been excellent and he does have alot of skill. Just that last bit of getting his hand in front of the football before the receiver, detail...
John from Riverside Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 I thought Leodis was better as a corner this past year.......they need to tell him to knock it down instead of trying to intercept it ala Thomas Smith
26TrapDraw Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 So you want to reward him for his game losing screw-up? Look I have come around from my hate for the guy's lack of football instincts. I would like to have jim back for his special team skills and being a nickel corner. But not a lot of money. IMHO, anything more than 4 mil per year will be too much.

Bill from NYC Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 He wasn't that bad last year. He's been really bad in the past at times, but more often than not is right with his man. The bolded is quite true. The problem is that most of the time, the receiver he is "right with" catches the football. Picking him at #11 was yet another disaster by Jauron. McKevin is an average to below average corner. That said, I hope that we keep him, if only to lessen the real possibility of the Bills wasting yet another early pick on a corner.
WellDressed Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 It's probably just me, but I think Leodis is more valuable to this team than Andy Levitre.

QCity Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 You know I always thought he had very good coverage skills, but for some reason he has no play recognition and would never turn his head when the ball got there.

Agree. I like him on the return game but scary on the D. He did play a little better this year tho. becoming a FA have anything to do with it? Edited March 8, 2013 by buffalo1983
MRW Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 This is good news just about any way you slice it, barring some ridiculous contract. With McKelvin in the fold, you have options - I wouldn't be wild about him as a starter, but he's definitely a better choice than Williams, and probably good enough that you can hold out for value in a FA signing or draft of another corner. But if the opportunity to upgrade that #2 corner is there, you can take it and feel very good with McKelvin at #3.
Estro Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 What are we thinking as far as the money is concerned with Leodis? I'm saying a 3-4 year deal coming in somewhere in the vicinity of $3.25-$3.75 million per year. Let's say 3 years - $11 million. Sound fair?

I'm saying a 3-4 year deal coming in somewhere in the vicinity of $3.25-$3.75 million per year. Let's say 3 years - $11 million. Sound fair? Fair for what? Being a high draft pick? 3 years 9 mil is generous for his return game. I hope our fresh out of college staff can help refine his raw talent and develop it
Dragonborn10 Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 So hope he stays...I just have a feeling that in the right defense he can be a star. He has elite level speed, quickness, and change of direction.
NDBUFFCUSEFAN Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 i hope he steps into wilsons unofficial spot as team spokesman. Your comment brought me great joy as I reminisced about my mother telling me about an illiterate Bills player when I was home last time, I snap called that it was Leodis. I was right.

And if they did that and retain him to be primary Kick returner, I hope they cut Brad Smith soon. There is really no room for Smith and his 15M contract on this roster.

There are only so many specialists a team can have and at least Leodis has proven to be an elite return man.

There is really no room for Smith and his 15M contract on this roster. Not to mention, maybe we can get rid of that gimmicky-ass Wildcat horse$&!#.. How many playoff caliber teams bring in a one-trick pony to run a wildcat play or two a game? Don't seem to remember the Falcons, Ravens, Patriots*, Steelers, Packers, Bears, Saints, Broncos or Colts doing that crap.. I know the 49ers, Redskins and Seahawks run similar plays to the Wildcat.. but, they don't use a specialist for it.
