YoloinOhio Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 @draft_talk_nfl LB Zach Brown visit has ended. He did not sign, but both sides will continue to talk. #Dolphins
dulles Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 I've heard of him! Get him done! For a cheap price I'm all about this. Depth only Boyst is cheap! I agree that he'd be good depth and rotational starter in case of injury. Definitely see him on the field in passing situations.
r00tabaga Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 Hopefully his new representation tells him to tackle this year. If he does re-sign with the Blls I fully expect either corner or best player available at 10. He led Buffalo in tackles, soooooooooooo...
YoloinOhio Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 For those who are familiar with Omar Kelly, he's going at it with Bill fans on twitter. Trashing Buffalo as usual and still can't let go of Clay leaving. Such a tool.

Riverboat Richie Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 @BF_Insiders Bills and ZB have communicated whole time. #Bills told ZB, money would be tight but would want back. Was told months ago he was a priority. I'm having a hard time with the fact that if you think he's that important to the team as to make him a priority, why then can't they find the money?
CNY315 Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) I'm having a hard time with the fact that if you think he's that important to the team as to make him a priority, why then can't they find the money? Maybe they were still trying to figure out what to do with Taylor and Gilmore Edited March 21, 2017 by CNY315
The Wiz Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 I'm having a hard time with the fact that if you think he's that important to the team as to make him a priority, why then can't they find the money? I'm sure they could find the money but wanted to have to find less money. Had they signed him at the start it probably would have cost them 2-3 mil more per year than he will cost now that he's bounced around FA and realize his value isn't as high as his previous agent made it seem.

So they told him they will have to see how things shake out with the other positions before they could commit to a certain amount, as it was seemingly outside of the value they had on him.

John from Riverside Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 In my opinion The bills have a price point on players...... Zach cost too much at the start of free agency Gilmore cost too much at the start of free agency Riley Reif cost too much at the start of free agency They seem to have a fixed dollar amount on what they are willing to spend on a player......and if they outprice it they walk. I think the bills to a calculated risk that Zach was not gonna get huge dollars in free agency.....so far that hope is still alive until it isnt. Miami could end it by overpaying him.
JoeF Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) i didn't take it that way ... but as they said his agent had him priced way too high. So they told him they will have to see how things shake out with the other positions before they could commit to a certain amount, as it was seemingly outside of the value they had on him. The Bills had a lot of roster spots to fill. In a way, Tyrod's restructure probably put enough money back in the cap to consider Brown at a price that is a good compromise for both sides. The Bills have definitely shopped at the discount store for most of the signings and combined with some other work -- Zach Brown may be affordable now. The front office is doing a nice job filling spots for reasonable investments. I also like that the team is getting some up and coming talent..Hyde, Poyer, DeMarco, Holmes, etc...all 26 or 27, all reaching peak... Don't look now -- but this may be an actual plan.....holy ****... Edited March 21, 2017 by JoeF
billsfan89 Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 New representation and a visit looks encouraging. It is clear his old agent over leveraged his position in the market. Teams weren't willing to pay him for last years production alone. Brown could be a one hit wonder and he tailed off a little bit in the last 4 games of last season. So it kind of seems that teams just weren't willing to shell out big bucks and a lot of guarantees for one year of good production after 4 years of a less than stellar track record. I hope the Bills get him back at a good price. I suspect Brown was looking for something in the 7-8 million range and the Bills were looking at 4-5, I suspect they come to something around 5 million maybe a tad bit more. Bills really could round out their front 7 very well if they bring back Brown. Not to mention that they have a very big need for a line backer that can be good in coverage something they currently lack and something that Brown brings.
YoloinOhio Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) Anytime a FA is visiting buffalo and miami that guy comes out of the woodwork.according to Omar, don't be so sure he would sign in Buffalo, because it's Buffalo, and Miami is Miami. And clay doesn't live in buffalo in offseason, so there you have it! but he also doesn't think Zach would start in Miami. Ok.👌 Edited March 21, 2017 by YoloinOhio
Watkins_deep Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 with ragland coming off the knee inj, it makes sense to resign him. hes our coverage lb im more so interested in more development from taylor or jones or who they draft at qb... overall its a very sound roster....

So they told him they will have to see how things shake out with the other positions before they could commit to a certain amount, as it was seemingly outside of the value they had on him. Then in my opinion, they were planning on losing him and had to prepare for the worse case scenario. Really couldn't have been that much of a priority after that.
Buffalo_Stampede Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 We'll see if he even gets to Buffalo. He is a decent starting LB. Improves our depth at the position.

Trashing Buffalo as usual and still can't let go of Clay leaving. Such a tool. He talks a lot of ish' about Buffalo and the Bills. Such a tough guy, that he has his account on private on instagram; but likes to play keyboard warrior. Edited March 21, 2017 by Captain Murica
YoloinOhio Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 He talks a lot of ish' about Buffalo and the Bills. Tough guy has his account private. i would love for Miami to take a nosedive this year like the Jets did after that one good year in 2015.
Eric Moulds on my A** Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 Former #Bills LB Zach Brown is signing a deal with the #MiamiDolphins. Deal is 5 YR 30 mil (18) GTD. First reported by @AdamSchefter Would we have been willing to pay this?
