Tipster19 Posted February 4, 2021 Posted February 4, 2021 Impending FA Richard Sherman would be a great addition to the Bills’ secondary and Geno Atkins should be available for next to nothing. Although Atkins is a bit long in the tooth he’s a former All Pro that I believe that still has a little left in the tank. I think he’s more of a victim of circumstance more than anything else. Being under a rather new regime and signing a massive contract extension back in 2018 I believe he’s caught in a numbers’ game more than anything else. McDermott likes aged veterans in his defense and a re-energized Atkins could be a nice little defensive find in a salary cap strapped year. 3 1 1
Motorin' Posted February 4, 2021 Posted February 4, 2021 I wonder what Refrigerator Perry and Daryl Green are up to these days? Maybe kick the ole tires? 16
GunnerBill Posted February 4, 2021 Posted February 4, 2021 Both been great players but both looked done to me last year. Pass on both. 4

I hear Conrad Dobler has some free time. 😀. Tipster, you knew you were going to get a little ribbing for that one, but hey it’s all in fun. I think those guys are past their prime, which you acknowledged, and not crazy about Sherman’s comments over the years. He’s an articulate bright guy, but he wouldn’t fit into this culture. 1
CSBill Posted February 4, 2021 Posted February 4, 2021 No! On Sherman ..... non-process guy, best days way behind him. He would be Josh Norman 2.0 Atkins, forgot he was still in the league .... for a low-end no risk contract, sure. If he makes it, great! If not, "you've had a nice career, enjoy your next life."
H2o Posted February 4, 2021 Posted February 4, 2021 Pass and pass. Neither is really an upgrade from what we have at either position. Would rather use the money towards re-signing D. Williams.

Frat-Train Posted February 4, 2021 Posted February 4, 2021 All this talk of greatness and NOBODY mentions THE Chris Watson????? I’m sure his elite talent is just starting to blossom. Get er done, Beane!!!!
YoloinOhio Posted February 4, 2021 Posted February 4, 2021 I’m ok with adding post 30 players at this point of this team’s super bowl window if they are still close to their prime. I don’t think either of these two fall into that category. 1

On paper it sounds great but it makes me wonder how much they have left and whether we could fit them under the cap. I don’t get the impression they’ll take the veteran minimum contract 1

Sherman’s price might be a little much and after watching what Josh did to him and the Niners secondary he might be done but I didn’t watch Atkins much a one year deal trying to get a ring might light a fire under the guy must be tough playing in Cincy where you get the mindset that your team is going to be terrible must be tough on a player 1
JMF2006 Posted February 4, 2021 Posted February 4, 2021 Might as well keep Norman around rather than waste money on Sherman at least he has a year in the system(I think JN is history) 1
Coach Tuesday Posted February 4, 2021 Posted February 4, 2021 Tipster one of these years you’re going to get one of these right. 1 2
oldmanfan Posted February 4, 2021 Posted February 4, 2021 I'd be OK with Atkins for a year, although if we're going to go after a vet with a year or two left I'd take Watt first. Sherman is a no for me. We don't need an aged CB; we need more speed there and I want to see Jackson get his chance. 2

Bleeding Bills Blue Posted February 4, 2021 Posted February 4, 2021 (edited) Atkins was injured all year - but 2 years ago he had 10 sacks. He's also traditionally had good tackle numbers. And he played in 16 games in 6 consecutive years before this one (not injury prone). I don't know the extent of the shoulder injury or anything, but i doubt his explosiveness was sapped in 1 season. This would have to be dependent on his price. Suh got 1yr 8 million with escalators, after 1yr 9.25 and only 2 sacks. In this lowered cap season - Jefferson and butler wouldn't get the 7-8mil per year that they got... so i guess it depends the direction they want to go with the position. I think Atkins will get scooped up rather early by a team who wants a vet on the line but thats just me. Part of me thinks he would be a great player to split snaps with oliver, but it would come down to price. Edited February 4, 2021 by dneveu 1

He's a perfect fit for this zone defense. I know we are living on the loss to KC and this whole need for speed - but we do have to actually get back to the championship game again. I do think he'd help there.

Or just give gus bradley a player voice? The defense there was a bit devoid of identity so i could see it.
