Love to have him aboard. 

 

We need insurance for Von

Yeah!

 

Too bad his insurance carrier is AARP.

For the vet minimum why would you not bring him in
 

That’s the real question

I’m sure he’s better than Bummie Basham. 

[MrEpsYtown]

I’m down with it. It it helps Rousseau its worth it. I guess he’d replace Shaq?

The real question is why do you think he will take the minimum? He got paid $6M last year

Yeah, 37 doesn't bother me. Reggie White played at a high level at 39. Sign him to a 1 yr/ 1M deal. Let him rotate in. Besides it's doubtful Von jumps in week1.  Hopefully next year there will be better DT's available in the draft.  Ed us likely gone.

There's no way he'll be that cheap. Probably at least 4 or 5 million.

[Buffalo_Stampede]

Big fan of his. We need some true vets upfront that won’t get pushed around.

My guess is $3M … if he has interest from 4 teams … one of them will offer that… probably not the Bills..

Ya I can’t see him getting the Vet minimum especially if he has meetings with like 4 teams.

 

Probably 2-4 mil range

[BillsFanForever19]

He's old, but he's still playing at a high level and it'd just be a 1 year deal so I'm not really worried about age. Just a 1 year stop gap to be an upgrade from Jordan Phillips.

[Orlando Buffalo]

Campbell would be fine as a low cost rotation guy for our Dline but he is not a major impact player anymore.

We are back in action!

[stuvian]

he's been around since before Bill Belichick hired his first film crew

[Buffalo03]

Although this is a short term option obviously, could this be a signal that Oliver could be getting traded? They both play the same position. Just a thought

LOL that I did. There are a few positions that really standout more than others. Perhaps I should have simply said that when Diggs was taken away, our offense struggled mightily and our DL fell apart without Von. Our LB would fall apart without both of the 2 LBs . I still discount the overall defense a bit and would say our DL would have been fine as it was after Von getting hurt if we had that WR1B as we could still score and not stall out. Why do I say this - see the superbowl.  It's my own foolish want for a more impactful DT guy

 

To varying degrees, we all want more than we're gonna get.

 

And some people deal with that fact better than others.

If they're "Men without Hats" why was the dwarf wearing a hat? Or are dwarves not considered men?

 

Back on topic, as mentioned upthread the Ravens play a base 3-4 where Campbell played 3 technique and 5 technique.

 

In the Bills 4-3 scheme he could play both end and tackle and there's some thought that he could replace Jordan Phillips whereas some see him as a replacement for Shaq Lawson.

 

I loved the passion that Lawson played with last year but when healthy Jordan Phillips is one of the best pass rushing DTs in football. When Phillips is healthy he does a reasonable imitation of Chris Jones. If I were to lose one of Lawson or Phillips for Campbell (assuming all players are healthy in 2023) I would rather lose Lawson.

 

JMO.
