Ok enough of these Carolina players.. 

[DrDawkinstein]

This is pretty much an automatic signing.

"We're all grown here, so you know what it is," Short said after the season. "It's a 'What-can-you-do-for-me-now,' type of business."

"Anyways, I gotta go. My flight to Buffalo leaves in 2 hours."

If you can get him on the ultra-cheap, sure, go for it.

[Over 29 years of fanhood]

5 games in past 2 seasons.

Not without a huge cut in pay.  Has missed a lot of playing time due to injuries and surgery.

Dont tell me, tell Magic Beanes.

 

I'd be fine with never signing another Panther cast-off ever again. But we know BB cant help himself. Especially on that DL.

Perfect! A cure for what ails us--our D front plus salary cap considerations--how about a 1 yr. prove it deal after they kick the tires on this one?

Time to get the socially distanced chicken wing welcoming committee over to the airport stat! 

[TheFunPolice]

All that missed time could mean he would be cheaper to sign.

 

My concern is that he's only 315 pounds... If he commits to putting in the time in the dining room this off-season I say go for it! 

 

[KOKBILLS]

He's barely played in 2 years...

Eventually ‘his guys’ should churn out of the system right? 

[Brennan Huff]

We won’t be able to afford him after we sign Watt. 

[Ethan in Cleveland]

Bills don't need DTs. They need edge rushers.  Hard pass.  He is 32.  They need to get younger, bigger, and faster on the edge.  

[billieve420]

Rather draft DT someone who will replace Star after this year instead.

[Haze_21]

He was durable before the past 2 years and was an all pro talent. Definitely worth a tire kicking moreso than vernon butler or addison.

[Rc2catch]

He was pretty good when healthy but even despite our Carolina connection I can’t see him coming here on a cheap deal. But I’ve been wrong before. Gonna be quite a few one year prove it deals this offseason. 

[HOUSE]

If its okay with JJ Watt

[thenorthremembers]

Absolutely not.  The guy is 32 years old, and has missed all but 5 games in the last two years.   Hasnt had a sack since 2018.

 

Whoever signs this guy, is paying someone who should be retired.

I think we could.  He's played 5 games in 2 years.  He could be gotten I think at a one year $3-$4 million prove it deal type contract.

Exactly like we did with Darryl Williams last year, coming off the same type of injury history.
