947 Posted May 22, 2018 Posted May 22, 2018 Shwing!!! He's an absolute perfect fit. I've been hoping Beane would trade a 6th rounder for him, getting him without losing a pick would be amazing. We're a sure top-10 Defense if we get him. 1
MJS Posted May 22, 2018 Posted May 22, 2018 (edited) Him, Edmunds, and Milano would be a strong group. Then just have Lorenzo rotate in as a situational pass rusher and in specific packages. Edited May 22, 2018 by MJS 1

Probably not, but we could probably get Zay Jones to teach him how to break up passes. For that matter, he could help all the LBs and DBs. Edited May 22, 2018 by Kelly the Dog 1

The LBs could go from abysmal before the draft, to exciting post draft and this signing, if it were to happen. 1

blacklabel Posted May 22, 2018 Posted May 22, 2018 I wonder if he'd go for a one-year deal, because I don't think Bills have the money to offer him a monster contract right now. I believe that's the reason he's tried to get out of Philly for so long, his contract demands are well above where Philly is willing to go.

NoSaint Posted May 22, 2018 Posted May 22, 2018 I don’t know his play well but a good vet and elite rookie would be a nice starting pair and a guy like milano is a nice off the bench player. If they like him as a long term piece this would really solidify the defense for 2-3 years

Not a bad idea. He certainly won't be sitting around for long. I'm sure we'll soon be hearing which teams have interest. With his skill set, we have to pretty much assume for sure that the FO is taking a look back at his film and making some calls to see what kind of deal he's looking for. Don't think they'll get into a bidding war, though. Doesn't seem to be Beane's style. 1

He definitely fills a need but there will be a lot of competition from other teams. We we will see - I think that is a bit much for a cut player at this time of year. The Bills actually have quite a bit of room compared to other teams and that would be close to the max they will spend. It will all depend upon what he is looking for - a 1 year deal to get a shot at FA - I think 5 million or so will get it done, but if he wants an extended deal with some signing bonus - you might get 2 year 14 million with a larger bonus that can be split over 2 years and less salary.

Milano looked good as a rookie. He'll take a big step forward with a full year in the offense and NFL experience. I'm excited about him. 1
