JGMcD2 Posted August 3, 2020 Posted August 3, 2020 Cool! nice insurance policy if Feliciano has any setbacks, someone gets ill, etc. Worst case we flip him for a pick because teams are going to be hurting for depth. This is the advantage of having probably the deepest roster in the league. No superstars, but depth everywhere. 3

Winters was a left tackle at Kent State, I’m guessing he could play center, but I don’t think he has ever done it. But he is a lunchpail guy. Also, he might know where Dri Archer is. 4

Think Star Lotulelei... not a bad player, just not worth (at least to us fans) what we’re paying him. Winters was getting paid a good bit on that contract from the Jets.

When the rest of your O line is garbage, it may make decent players look bad. Wouldn't surprise me at all if Winters looks great as a Bill. It's the same, with our D line. Players that do nothing on other teams, excelled when they played for Buffalo. It's the sum of the parts, not the individuals that count when it comes to team. 4 1

The attention to detail on this roster is the best I have ever seen as a fan. Winters is a starting caliber guard and in a season where depth is insanely needed. I love this move. Good to replace Feliciano short term. 6

Winters was getting paid a good bit on that contract from the Jets. They mentioned a lot of injuries and how he used to be a good player but isn't anymore because injuries have taken their toll. But we'll see. I don't follow offensive linemen from other teams so I don't have an opinion myself.

Long is a great backup. I think people trash players who are on that fringe of being not quite good enough to start. Because those players end up starting and have mixed results. But when they are backups they are great to have. 1

Hard to know sometimes how players from bad teams will turn out. But we've had some good signing like that. Jordan Poyer is the poster boy. John Brown flashed when he was on a good Cardinals team, so he's not a true example, but he did have his best season as a Bill. 1
