MrEpsYtown Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 Klein was a McDermott guy in Carolina who filled in admirably for Keuchly he he was out. I thought he would be our first signing last year, but he signed with the Saints. He has proven to be a very poor fit for the Saints defense and got moved around all over the place and eventually to the bench. I think he has fallen out of favor in NO. After signing Demario Davis, I would think Klein would be available in a trade. The Saints would have to eat a lot of money if they cut him this year, but if they trade him, they only eat something like 2 million. It shouldn't cost much, something like a swap of picks or something. His stock is way down, but I think he has the potential to be much better for McDermott at the MIKE position. I don't love the linebackers on the open market and the Klein contract would be relatively cheap compared to some of the signings that are happening. If it doesn't work out, he can be easily cut after the 2018 season. Thoughts?
Coach Tuesday Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 It's not a bad idea. He was horrible for the Saints.
Buffalo_Stampede Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 Klein was their leader before injury. No way they trade him. 1
JohnBonhamRocks Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 I thought he would be a first day of FA signing for the Bills last offseason given the ties and match-up of need. If available and not too pricey, then why not?
Seanbillsfan2206 Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 Too many white guys. Don’t forget we also have matt Milano still 1

I know he was their heart and soul and such, but his play was not good for them. My thinking was that we could offer them a chance to get out of the contract. I think he holds more value with us than other teams because of the history. Just a thought
YoloinOhio Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 Were the Bills interested in him last year FA? I can’t remember.

Nothing ever came out. We all kind of assumed. I thought his contract was way too rich, but compared to what guys are getting now, I would not mind it. Edited March 15, 2018 by MrEpsYtown

The Now Moment Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 I like the thought. I think we should definitely be aggressive in the trade market soon.
TigerJ Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 Similar to Preston Brown, but somewhat faster in the 40. You don't want him to start, but if you can get him to backup for less than Brown, do it.

Just a thought Would love to get him but I just don't see them trading a 26 year old leader of the defense. Maybe, who knows.
frogger Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 For a later pick, sure, I’ve stated this in other post, this draft is loaded with 43 linebackers. I’d still love to get Kendrick for a 5th, he could play Mike or Will

Maybe, who knows. You are probably right. I saw somewhere they might try to grab the Honey Badger and they need some edge help, so I was thinking cap space for them. Appreciate the feedback.

They need cap space to go after Honey Badger. They can draft a LB to replace Klein. And we can draft a LB to compliment/start ahead of him if needed. Would be a good trade, IMO>
