Bills signing OT Brandon Shell from miami


dreadlox

Recommended Posts

6'5" 324, 31 years old

Drafted by the Jets in the 5th round (158th overall) in 2016 draft

 

83 career games, 72 games started

4 years with the Jets, 2 with Seattle, 1 with Miami 

Started one playoff game with Seattle

When healthy, he has generally garnered 90+% of the RT snaps for his teams (over the last 6 years, he's been a starting RT)

But it also looks like he has missed a lot of games due to injury over his career (16 games over the last 3 seasons)

Perfect depth signing. You aren't asking him to play a full season, but when he comes in, he knows how to get the job done.

 

I keep saying it, but Beane is trying to build an injury-proof roster (after how last season went). I love the depth the team has now...and it keeps coming.

Have to believe that Tommy Doyle is kinda on the hot seat then as training camp starts in about 6 weeks or so and Shell didn’t do too bad as Miamis starter last year. 

 

Doyle will be about 10 months past reconstructive knee surgery when camp opens...........I could see him being on IR to start the season like Boettger was last year.

they’ll announce that when they announce this signing.

 

guessing an OL will be released

 

then hopefully a WR for a certain other UFA

 

I'd guess Mancz.  Unless he's injured.

Not worried about MLB because the worst case scenario is AJ Klein starts and they have to match personnel against 3wr+ sets with Taylor Rapp as a 3rd safety.

 

We have the personnel to play 1 LB and 3 safeties. 
 

In a perfect world a young LB steps up.

 

Also think you'll see more 3 safety looks too

I thought I saw Greg Little playing RT for the Dolphins last year.  I always notice Little because he was the player that Carolina took when they moved ahead of Buffalo in that 2019 (?) draft and the Bills then drafted Cody Ford.

Have the Bills released a player? I thought they were at the 90 roster limit?

 

per tweet he has not signed yet.  they could run in contract issues or some other team may contact his agent.

Free agent OT Brandon Shell plans to sign with the #Bills, per source. Not done but trending that way. Shell played valuable starter’s snaps for Miami last season, now set to stay in AFC East.
