Bills have shown interest in Lavonte David.

It's the instincts for me man.

It's great if he can anticipate the play but if doesn't have the wheels to get there we in trouble. Similar to Terrel Bernard who was good at pre snap diagnosis but sometimes slow getting to the play.

It is still very early to say that. It might be true. But remember Von last year didn't decide until the signing period. He held out during the official tampering period. If guys have multiple teams in play they often do that. 

 

It might be that Jordan's market isn't where he hoped. It might be he is still playing 2 or 3 suitors against each other. We will know in 48 hours or so.

Of course, but wife tweets 48 hours before UFA started We havent left yet.

 

After all season and offseason about tweeting about leaving.

 

Now Safeties signing all over to include to teams he was "linked" too.  and then the rumors on the twitter market is really soft compared to what he thought it would be.

For David? He’s a better player than Edmunds, just older.

 

He is a guy at the end of his career and has begun showing signs of fading. Enough of the geriatric players.

 

Much rather have Long who is only 26.

I mean this rumour mill is worse than the one that goes round in the 12 hours before day 1 of the draft. Until someone bona fide tweets that the market is soft I still expect him to be gone.

Unfortunately she also tweeted what amounts to a goodbye today too. 
 

Hopeful his market didn’t materialize and we get him back on a reasonable deal, but I think it’s doubtful. She seems to have made it clear she wants him playing (aka them living) somewhere warm.

He can't cover. No chance the Bills sign him.

I don't think this guy is particularly credible, but here are the remaining FA LB as of like 30 minutes ago.  Rumors have Okereke going to the Jets.

Edit: and now Singleton said to be re-upping in Denver

He also lives in the same town as David in the offseason (just saying)

Confirmation of the report

 

 

 

Isn't the DraftDiamonds guy Damond Talbot?  Yeah, googled - he's the "owner".  I think Ryan Talbot is related to him - not brothers but cousins or something.

 

So it's not necessarily independent confirmation, but like @boyst says, Damond is good at building relationships with the small school guys and maintaining them, and David (hard to believe it now) was a small-school guy.

That would be a good temporary upgrade over edmunds. Make it happen

He can still move. Our defense is a lot of reading. He would be a great fit.

Guess it doesn’t matter since I see the Dolphins just signed him. Fug.

Good. He might yet help the Bills win a game in 2023.

You underestimate Long. He is a very good player that is still young.

I don’t think he’s showing signs yet. At 33 it can happen anytime but he’s still going. 
 

I don’t think we’ll land David unless there’s some connection Im not aware of. Maybe we’ll give him a sweet deal.

He can't cover. The 1990s called. They want their linebacker back.

Has this dude ever broken any news? I feel like he churns out rumors every year with not a lot of fruit. 

He’s a small scout with connections, he’s legit

33 is too old? He could be London Fletcher and play all pro level into his late 30s.

 

He had 10 tackles for loss as an off the ball Lb. Edmunds had 6.
