You are dreaming if you think Gaines is two years 12 million. He will be asking for $12 mill a year and probably settle for 9-10 per year with 9-10 guaranteed.

 

I'm fairly certain that he was referring to Davis

I keep seeing this and I'm not sold he can get that much just because Sportrac has him at 9. We shall see..I doubt it though!

 

If it is the case that is too much for an oft injured guy.

Wasn't too long ago he was the best CB in football.  I always thought he was more of a press guy though.

 

He's played well in press man at times, but the rap on him coming out of Maryland was that he was at his best in off-coverage and zone schemes because he's such a solid tackler and plays so well moving forward.

Im down with signing Davis. Just not so sure what his value is. He will be 30 this year and is coming off an injury. I would still like to sign Gaines as well......

Pretty sure he went to a Illinois

I am on board with this, would likely be relatively cheap.  Also is capable playing in both man and zone, Slight dropoff in man due to his age.  Would be a perfect No2 outside CB at this point in his career.

I wonder if price will be driven up by not only the value of the CB position, but his scheme versatility and the lack of strength at that position in the draft. 

 

I don't think that's a problem.

 

It's not 2017 by any stretch, but I think you'll see at least 4-5 corners go in the 1st this year.

he did...I accidentally cross-referenced with Vernon Davis :lol:

Hey, anybody can get their V Davises mixed up. Here a V Davis, there a V Davis, everywhere a V Davis, V Davis.

and some have said that White's best suited for slot CB, so you sign Davis, re-sign Gaines, sign DT Star Lotulelei and draft another DT, add a speedy LB to replace Brown to play with Milano  and play a majority of nickel defense, like McDermott did in the Carolina, and the D might improve.

You know that I will bang the table for OSU guys. Lattimore is a star. Denzel Ward is different but will be a really good pro corner IMO. He reminds me of a shadow. He is so incredibly fluid but a little under-sized. If he was 2 inches taller and 10 lbs. heavier he’d go in the top 5 imo. I think that he ends up in the middle of the round and is a nice addition there.

It might be he is better suited to off coverage in our system as he ages.

I agree, he has always been good in off man coverage and zone.  Going back to his college scouting report.

 

"Best in off-man and zone coverage where he can watch the action, plant and drive to the ball."

I'd be good with this signing. Bills have no CB depth. 

 

Not looking to break the bank for Davis, but if they can get him signed to a reasonable deal, then why not? 

 

Any hole we we can fill in free agency (for reasonable money) im all for. Frees up draft picks to get best player avaliable.

One area that I have total faith in McDermott is the secondary.

 

If he feels that Davis is a fit, then I'm sure not going to question it.
