But, I am trying to whittle down players before cut day and giving me more choices makes me mad. ? I am not sure he is an upgrade over Tyler Matakevich who is a ST tackling monster. Additionally Matakevich can step in play LB for us (I saw him play when he was at Temple and he was very good). I am not sure Andre Smith has the versatility to play LB at a high level if needed. Edit: Oh and a small bit of useless trivia about Andre Smith - Carolina actually selected him in the 7th round of the 2018 draft using the pick Buffalo sent them in the Kelvin Benjamin Trade.

Yeah, that's how I see it. We would've been a good landing spot if we didn't go out and get Matakevich already.
Bangarang Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 Former Panther and plays special teams? Sounds like a done deal.
eball Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 Yup. Just traded for him (conditional 7th rounder in 2023).
YoloinOhio Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 We are getting way too good at this. Should have put an over/under on how long it would take to get him to make it more difficult Lol Beane
Special K Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 Too funny....you were joking and right at the same time!! Seriously, he sounds like a good pickup to bolster the special teams unit.
aristocrat Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 i got the notification from the bills and thought it was the tackle at first. don't know much about this guy

apuszczalowski Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 (edited) Was he the guy they drafted with the pick Buffalo sent to Carolina for Benjamin? I saw someone say that earlier in another place... Never mind, I just saw it in a tweet posted in the other thread Edited August 31, 2020 by apuszczalowski
PromoTheRobot Posted September 1, 2020 Posted September 1, 2020 Not on topic but since we are discussing draft picks and what they turn into... 1 1
Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 1, 2020 Posted September 1, 2020 Apparently reports of his release were premature Panthers traded and got a draft pick for him
