Getting the band back together. Is EJ Gaines available? What about Kevin Johnson? 

Vontae said that’s what it would take for him to come back after halftime of the Jets game. 🫣

Welcome back Dean. I'm guessing Poyer's not coming back this season.

 

I doubt he is out for the year but might be 3-6 weeks. It kinda pisses me off that he is dealing with this again because he took the elbow brace off...like I know it isn't super comfortable to play in, but that's not something you want to re-injure.

I'm hoping he finds a home right back on our practice squad.   He's gotta clear waivers first though.

Hopefully, but you'd think at least Green Bay would take a shot with the graveyard their WR group is.

I think they would’ve used IR if that was the case. They cut 2 players they liked

So is Hodgins done as a Bill?

I wish Hodgins had gotten more of a shot here - but we have so many good receivers. Hopefully he finds a home w/ another team.

 

 

Packers?

I don’t think Marlowe is coming in here to be a starting safety. Like Hines, Marlowe is very good on STs. You know who plays a lot of STs for the Bills….Jaquan Johnson. This will allow Johnson the opportunity to focus on safety while Marlowe provides depth and take his STs  spot

Yay! 
 

Anyone know if he can play MLB, RB or WR?!!?

Funny, just a few hours ago you were pointing out that we needed safety depth...

 

Did you post "Yay! Can he play safety?!!?" in the thread on Hines, the RB that can probably also play WR?

I hate paying for guys that we let go, but I'll live with the 7th.  Welcome back Christopher.  

 

Hodgins and Bryant, GAN!!!!  Did not see that comin'....

 

The baseball team in Atlanta have done this so many times in the past few years. Different sport, but same idea/principles.

sweet deal Dean knows the system and played well when called upon

 

imo this has more to do with Jaquan Johnson then Poyer

 

Agree, J Johnson is an UFA next year and I don't see him getting re-signed.

Marlowe is capable and knowing the system this late in the year is a big plus.  I now feel better at the S position.

He played well for us...had 2 INTs, 1.5 sacks and 1 FR in 2020 while starting 4 games.

I'm saying it now. Dean Marlowe is going to make a huge play at least once this season. He is what he is, but he fits what they do like a glove and is a smart dude.

So we've given up a 6 and a 7 and added quality depth. 

 

I hope to enjoy the Super Bowl more than the last two rounds of the draft!

This is an interesting take.  Vontae's "retirement" was just a negotiating ploy that backfired?

Marlowe is a UFA too tho, he is on a 1 year deal.

I would much prefer to see Johnson stay on teams and Marlowe fill his starting role...unlike Johnson, Marlowe was very productive for us when he started.

I know.  My point was that Johnson will be gone.  Dean has an opening for a depth role if he shows he's worthy.

[SoCal Deek]

I always liked Marlowe. He knows the locker room and knows the scheme. Well done! 

[GunnerBill]

Makes sense. Knows the system. Low upside but at least an experienced vet to hold it down if Poyer is out 4-6 weeks. If Poyer is done for the year I don't think this is sufficient.

[Big Blitz]

Shut Poyer down till the Miami game. 
 

We’ll have to score 35 in Detroit is my guess tho.  
 

Not worried about Cousins and Minnesota in fresh air.

Dean lays the wood to people!
