Frez Posted March 9, 2020 Posted March 9, 2020 Trust the process....... Play this signing out and see what happens in camp!

The comp picks only matter for players with expiring contracts
hemma Posted March 9, 2020 Posted March 9, 2020 Either Beane & McDermott: 1) Watched film of last year and decided he could still perform well in our system or 2) Read about his availability (probably here), pressed Caps Lock and said, "I'VE HEARD OF HIM! LET'S GET THIS GUY! SUPERBOWL!" I may be wrong, but I'm inclined to believe they watched film. 2 7 1
Big Turk Posted March 9, 2020 Posted March 9, 2020 Most likely not much risk associated with this and probably not much guaranteed either...which is why there are incentives built in. If he doesn't do well, Bills can cut him out of training camp with no real risk involved. If he does do well, Bills will have a good player.
YoloinOhio Posted March 9, 2020 Posted March 9, 2020 (edited) Low risk move and they have the space. McD probably thinks he could return to form in his D, 1 year deal, see what happens. Type of move that doesn’t preclude other moves and could help. Edited March 9, 2020 by YoloinOhio 3

Ayjent Posted March 9, 2020 Posted March 9, 2020 It's a prove it deal and if he isn't looking good - I think the Bills will leave him on the bench or have him come in on certain situations. The Bills have a lot of options on how to use him - and Washington is a clown show franchise right now - many guys on that team are preserving themselves for their next contract opportunity elsewhere.
Phil The Thrill Posted March 9, 2020 Posted March 9, 2020 I’m not as completely satisfied with Kevin Johnson as most Bills are. I thought he did ok in stretches but like Levi Wallace, struggled a bit at times. He also didn’t have a great game in the playoffs. So anyone lamenting at a possible Johnson loss is a bit overblown IMO. As far as Norman - there’s no doubt he has been bad the last few years. But you have to think that the the Bills scouting department and McDermott know know what they are doing. Also you have to take into account that he’ll be joining a veteran secondary and playing in scheme he knows well and has excelled in. Worst case scenario - he gets outplayed by Wallace and another CB and doesn’t make it through training camp. The Bills lose a few million that won’t come close to making or breaking their cap situation. Let’s see how this plays out 5

BillsVet Posted March 9, 2020 Posted March 9, 2020 McDermott's heard of him. So has Beane. LOL I'm sure there'll be competition for that job anyway.

Mr. WEO Posted March 9, 2020 Posted March 9, 2020 45 minutes ago, Rochesterfan said: He will have to compete to be CB2. He very will could be behind Levi Wallace and who knows who else we sign and draft. I have no issues with the signing as it is really just a depth signing. The money is totally irrelevant as it is a one year deal and begins to provide depth before FA begins. They didn't just give him 6 million to be behind Wallace. They signed him because of Wallace...

Nice low risk signing for a guy who will finally return to the scheme he was elite in. Even though he is older now, he should be able to fill in as needed on the outside. I am a fan of this one. 3
