formerlyofCtown Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 Those fools, they should keep him and let Keuchly walk. So we can sign him.? 1 1

Florida Bills Fanatic Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 T. Davis is a class act and tough competitor. He will probably not be looking to go to a team as a backup. There are some teams like Cincinnati that are in desperate need of linebacker help that will pursue him. 2
GoBills808 Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 Still a player, albeit a/ PED concerns. Outside that known as a high character guy. Emotional leader of that defense. At 36 he’s a good LB although no longer dominant. He was the perfect foil for Kuechly in Carolina...I would definitely be interested.

You are right...we won't be the only suitor, far from it...welcome to the board.
MJS Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 Oh, absolutely. Depth at linebacker is a serious problem for this team. Sign him up and also bring in a young linebacker or two.

That 3rd LB is a part time position anyway so it doesn't make sense to invest much cash or draft capital into the position. Davis could almost certainly play all 3 positions in the event of an injury. I thought when the Panthers extended his deal thru 2018 in the summer of 2017 that it was a move to prevent McD and his LB starved Bills from scheming to poach him after the 2017 season..........if you didn't think he might leave it was a bit of a weird move........kinda' like when the Beane unnecessarily extended Eric Wood in the summer of 2017 (except Wood was even less likely to leave). Fwiw.....Davis' agent is also former Terry Pegula employee Todd France..........the same guy who negotiated Dareus' sweetheart deal and Pegs signed off on..........so not sure if he's still tight with the Pegs or not. 1
ndirish1978 Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 100% good with signing this guy. Tremaine and Matt could use the mentoring from a guy who has done it at the highest level for years. 1
Thurman#1 Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 I think he's got another year or two left, but can't see it being the Bills who bring him in. More likely a team that feels they're in their SB window right now.
purple haze Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 3 hours ago, YoloinOhio said: Could be depth too. Would be better than Julian Stanford/Corey Thompson Corey Thompson could still turn into something, but he needs reps that he won't get if they bring in older vets. That said, will be interesting to see if Bills have interest.
Dablitzkrieg Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 Knowing McBeane, he'll be a Bill in 2 weeks
IgotBILLStopay Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 Get ‘er done Beane! 1 year deal or two years with a reasonable out. Davis will be the perfect foil to our Keuchly and help him with the reads. Move Lorax to spell Shaq at DE and to ST when Davis gets many snaps. But do need to use Davis and Lorax judiciously and keep em fresh for late in the season.
QCity Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 Oh man, might as well fit him for a jersey tomorrow. Is there any possibility this doesn't happen? I have no issues with a cheap 1-year deal, but based on their brief history of overpaying for former players, I'm skeptical this ends well.

But why not look into this. You know him better than I do, but when Farther Time calls your number..... 1 year, team option for 2nd year. Have to believe McBeane loves this guy as he’d be schooled in the Process & scheme, great depth and locker room guy and injury insurance. Plus, it pushes one draft need down a bit to consider more offensive help or combine picks for a trade. ’notherwords, Giterdone! 2
H2o Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 A mentor role and some fill in snaps is about all he's good for at this point. You could see he had lost a step this year in Carolina. A good locker room guy, but wouldn't expect much in the way of on field production.
billsbackto81 Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 Kinda mixed on this. 36 years old for such a demanding position? Dude can still ball though and would provide solid depth in rotation and mentoring. His knowledge could prove invaluable for Tremaine and Milano.
BuffaloBillyG Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 He would really help on 1st and 2nd downs. Could also be an option to free Zo up to rush the passer more, which frees Lawson up to kick inside more. Hoping Milano is good to go, but would be nice insurance policy fir that as well. At 36, he may be looking for a familiar system and coach to play for. Where else would he rather be?
