Awwufelloff Posted March 18, 2022 Posted March 18, 2022 Is there any reason we got a pro bowl guard for so cheap? Quote

Pro bowl isn't a great indicator of how good someone is. He was a vet with name recognition. Similar to the Sanders deal, 34 year old vet looking to win on the downside of his career. Don't really save much money between D. Williams dead cap and the cost to sign Saffold, but the hope is that he fits Kromer's scheme better. Could also be that they plan on running the ball more which is Saffold's strength. Williams was better in pass pro last season. 3 Quote

FilthyBeast Posted March 18, 2022 Posted March 18, 2022 1 hour ago, Awwufelloff said: Is there any reason we got a pro bowl guard for so cheap? Declining player metric wise, wanted to be reunited with his oline coach and compete for a ring. Add to the fact he probably was smart enough to understand his market this deal isn't that much of a surprise. Worst case for the Bills is he's just a drop in replacement for Wiliams and/or placeholder for a rookie we draft next month. 2 Quote

Rockinon Posted March 24, 2022 Posted March 24, 2022 Nice article about the acquisition of Saffold, who has a history with Kromer and some insight into what type of blocking scheme the Bills are likely to employ. https://thedraftnetwork.com/articles/buffalo-bills-ol-breakdown-rodger-saffold-signing 1 Quote
