Marlowe officially acquired in exchange for Mr. Irrelevant!  I'll take it.

 

I see what you did there.  Nice.

Dirty Dean Marlow actually was solid during his time here. Good pickup!

[gonzo1105]

Apparently his wife has a picture of her crying excited to be going back to Buffalo. My the times have changed 

[Floydboy12]

I like the move. Makes perfect sense.

I never heard his name much after he left Buffalo.  But he sure made some plays while he was here.  Hopefully this is the place that brings out the best in Marlowe.

What exact starting safety was available and what price were you willing to pay?

I am sure The Beanemaster weighed all the options. They all have their price. I will just have to trust that it was too high and hope that Poyer can get healthy

Welcome back!!

 

I didn't want him to go when he did, but such is the way.

 

Go Bills!

I don’t understand why anybody could complain about this unless it’s just simply a fact of the matter of getting a toy back that you wants already had

I have no real recollection of him when we was here. Anyone want to fill me in?

Filled in for our starting tandem there was no drop off

He was good enough to play the position, didn't get beat much.  Good player for sure.

Good Special Teams guy. Believe he was leading Falcons in ST tackles.

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 

This could be a good point.  I wondered how this would impact Johnson, but this angle I had not considered.

When you put it that way, it sounds strange - but that's a strange way to put it.

Marlowe was waived 2x in 2018.  In 2019-2020 he was on the roster. 

He signed with the Lions, then the Falcons, in FA.

 

So we let him walk in FA 2 years ago, then traded a 7th to get him back.

 

Marlowe was waived to allow Bills to keep player on roster so he could be signed for IR.

This has happened a couple of time the last few years.

Will they cut him when Poyer comes back?

 

Feels like they're throwing away draft picks.

Bills go from having the best safety tandem in the league to one of the worst in half a season. 😩

 

Fortunately the Bills do not worry about your touchy-feely impressions.

Maybe you need to act it up and cry as well?

[ghostwriter]

Nice depth. Great move.

[Saxum]

Dean Marlowe played very well he needed to start for Poyer or Hyde one year but neither will be playing with him this time.

I expect Dean Marlowe will be starting as safety until Poyer is able to play.  

Poyer was not put on IR, even short term, and Bills likely want Poyer for playoffs.

 

Shame for Poyer since he was having a very good season.

Helluva trade.  My buddy who’s a huge falcons fan is livid.  They’re in 1st place and already their starting S for a 7th.  I’d be pissed too

The part that gets cut out on here puts a bit more context to it though.
