YoloinOhio Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2019/03/14/linebacker-mark-nzeocha-visited-bills/ Quote Nzeocha has spent the last two seasons with the 49ers as mostly a key special teams player. He played in all 16 games last season and made three starts. He recorded 22 tackles with a sack and a forced fumble, all career-highs. Nzeocha played more special teams snaps than any player on the 49ers in 2018. He was on the field for 354 of 463 special teams snaps, which is 76.5 percent of all snaps. He would pair with Deon Lacey, Lafayette Pitts and Siran Neal as the most utilized special teams pieces for the Bills should he sign with the team. Neocha came to the 49ers in 2017 after spending his first two seasons with the Dallas Cowboys. He’s appeared in 31 career games. Edited March 16, 2019 by YoloinOhio

Definitely one of the big priorities along with the OL and WR core which they’ve worked to address as well. Interestingly , all 3 units will have new, young coaches. 2
apuszczalowski Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 Cornering the market on hard to pronounce last names starting with 'N'? Better hope Murphy is getting to work early this offseason trying to learn how to say them correctly....... 2 2
PetermansRedemption Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 I like it. Those are pretty good stats for a special teams player. Everyone knows the Bills special teams needs all the help it can get from last season.
TigerJ Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 He would be an excellent fit. High character, outstanding athleticism, great special teamer. He came to football late. He's older for his experience level, but also has low miles for his age. I think he was a teammate of Josh Allen's at Wyoming. He converted from safety to LB while at Wyoming, so he might have some cover skills in pass defense. 1 5

blacklabel Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 Wat?! I dunno who this guy is therefore they should not sign him! Frickin' Beane, man, just going out there and looking at the nobodies while there are Hall of Fame free agents just sittin' on the couch waiting for his call. This front office... I tell ya... 2

The 49ers are likely to look for a starting-caliber outside linebacker in either the draft or free agency, but Nzeocha would provide much-needed depth at the position. The veteran was also a core special-teamer for San Francisco last season, and nearly made the Pro Bowl thanks to the ballot-stuffing efforts of his fellow Germans. As an unrestricted free agent (UFA), Nzeocha will be able to negotiate freely with other teams if he hits free agency next month.
