iccrewman112 Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 So the D has not lived up to many people’s expectations, I think there have been injuries that have had a large impact. With the Jets coming up I’m hoping folks can get healthy but also think there are some very solid options available as current free agents that could potentially make an impact, and would have a week to get through COVID protocol and get up to speed. Targets Snacks Harrison - Seattle Practice Squad. DT who can stop the run and occupy blockers and free things up for Oliver who I believe has suffered without Star. David Irving - Free Agent DE Fresh off reinstatement he creates QB pressures and is more than a smaller speed rusher. At 280 he can set the edge as well and can win 1:1 matchups. Other Names to investigate Vontez Burfict - Free Agent LB Tackling machine that’s can fit in certain packages and on run downs. Mychel Kendricks - Free Agent LB not sure what he has left but worth a visit in my opinion.
What a Tuel Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 If we are serious about a deep playoff run, trade for someone. There is a number of bad teams with good defensive stars right now.

Clyde Smith Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 We seriously need some help and depth on defense. I think Zimmer needs more rotation time. Make a trade for Fletcher Cox, Philly is trash.

billsfan89 Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 I would love to see the Bills offer up a 2nd round pick for Yannick. Yannick is on a one year deal on a bad Vikings team. Overall I would rather try and get him to help out the pass rush and bring in Snacks to help with the run defense.
ProcessTruster Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 With the Covid risk of losing players, I think rosters are going to be pretty much what they are at this point; moreso than any other season. If I was a GM, I would be hanging onto to the players I know who are testing negative consistently. Getting through the season is very important and will be more important as the weather changes and risk of positive tests go up. Bills are having the injury issues they did not have last year. And they are playing a schedule with a lot more good/great QBs, so this will be as rough as many predicted. No 12-4 this year. going 6-4 and winning 10 this year will be a major accomplishment. Frankly, I think 9-7 wins the Division, given the tough schedule for the AFC East. Hell, we haven't even played Seattle (loss), SanFran (?) , Arizona (no way this D contains Murray) ... the path to the Division leads straight through the Pats. Need to win both of those.
mjt328 Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 The Bills don't have the cap space to make significant moves for veteran players. What they really need are the young guys we drafted (Tremaine Edmunds, Harrison Phillips, Ed Oliver) to start being difference makers, instead of massive liabilities. The same goes for Cody Ford on the offensive side. Consistently good teams like the Patriots and Steelers are able to lose players due to injury and Free Agency, and keep on rolling, because they draft well and the guys on the bench always step up when called upon. I'm becoming increasingly concerned about the long-term outlook for many of our top draft picks, which is not a good look for the future.

Nester Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 Earl Thomas and Clay Mathews should get a workouts
Thurman#1 Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 (edited) Again, we have $3.3 mill under the cap. And $1.2 mill next year. This isn't a good spot for a trade unless we happen to find one that's really cheap. And those aren't generally the guys people want to trade away, unless they suck. I wouldn't expect any big moves. Small one, maybe. Edited October 20, 2020 by Thurman#1
