BuffaloRebound Posted March 8, 2020 Posted March 8, 2020 If he’s a difference maker, sign him up. It takes 2 to tango. Beane can’t just wave a magic wand and get the best free agents at positions of need. A lot less difficult to do that in the draft where you can maneuver up or down to fill needs. Or get really lucky and have Oliver drop into your hands.
njbuff Posted March 8, 2020 Posted March 8, 2020 This is why it is so hard to predict FA. Who the heck ever thought that Reader would be on the Bills radar? I sure as hell didn't. 1
SCBills Posted March 8, 2020 Posted March 8, 2020 First read this and my initial reaction was huh... Now I’ll be disappointed if we don’t get him. Reader/Oliver is such a filthy DT combo. 4
Call_Of_Ktulu Posted March 8, 2020 Posted March 8, 2020 I thought we got pushed around at the LOS last year. It seemed like when a team started running up the middle for huge chunk plays that our whole defense had to go into run stop mode. Reader is a monster and moves pretty well for such a huge player, I think signing Reader would be a huge signing. I've only watched a few games but this guy does not move, even when he is doubled he holds his ground. 1
njbuff Posted March 8, 2020 Posted March 8, 2020 Plus, if you are super-strong at DT, it makes the Edge position a little less of a need as the Edge players will be facing constant one on one's and Hughes and Murphy can win those. Darryl Johnson is still developing, so we shall see with him. Reader and, maybe, someone like Addison would make a nice FA splash and set yourselves up with a very good and deep DL. 4
DJB Posted March 8, 2020 Posted March 8, 2020 I dont see how we are interested in Reader. Star just took a cut and got guaranteed $$$ and we drafted Oliver last year. We also have H Phillips who is progressing as well.

As for 3 tech, I think he would be good enough to spell Oliver there. I'm all for going after Reader. all of this. Harry is an attacker after the likes of Kyle. disruptive player is what Bills are thinking he brings.

BeastMaster Posted March 8, 2020 Posted March 8, 2020 I doubt Tennessee will be in on him due to the Tannehill, Brady, Henry, Conklin dealings. Bills should swoop in on him quickly and make a strong offer before the market gets going. 1

I sure as hell didn't. I’m not sure why people are so surprised. Did they forget the run defense for that stretch of games this season? The Bills ran out and got CL who wasn’t very good either. 1

FeelingOnYouboty Posted March 9, 2020 Posted March 9, 2020 Get him in! I’m all about adding more good players to our team!

ExWNYer Posted March 9, 2020 Posted March 9, 2020 John Murphy just called him "a decent player". He's very versatile and more than "decent", Murph. ? 1
