Notable cuts around the league

Is Kirksey versatile enough to be a starting LB on this defense? Seems like an alright player but is he going to be a liability in nickel? Does he even play nickel?

17 solo tackles on 3rd down, 2 sacks and 1 interception.

If they sign Kirksey, should be instant release of Dodson and Klein.

 

You have a proven vet and young guy (Bernard) for this year, Dorian potentially next year.  

 

Keep 5 LBs (Kirksey, Milano, Bernard, Williams, Big Red) and bring back a combo of  AJ/Spector/Dodson to Practice squad

Wrong. Klein is a coach. Players call him a coach. And old man. The guy knows this defense. Can coach it on the field, knows the situations, and very capable of playing.

 

We know his floor, we know his ceiling. We need a proven player in this system on this roster at the position.

 

Dobson can go to the PS, Klein would be taken off of the PS. For some reason the MLB position this year is end over end different. Look around the league and you'll see why Edmunds made a boatload of money.

Yeah. He’s tight with Poyer and Hyde. He’s probably on his Buffalo now. He’ll start week 1.

 

He’s not what he once was though. 

Last season he he put up very good numbers:

Games- 17

Tackles- 124

Sacks - 3

Int's- 2

TFL-  7

AV- 9

Now whether he's a fit next to Milano is unknown.  He's coming off a hamstring injury.

I have seen Tommy Doyle play on 1 leg. I have seen Leatherwood play on 2.

 

I would take a 1 legged Doyle.

I'd very much enjoy Kirksey 

 

He is attractive but can we restrict the discussion to football please?

He still seems to be able to start. LB stats are weird. It’s not hard to put up decent numbers. He definitely makes more splash plays than our previous starting MLB.

Watch him sign with the Eagles PS and they develop him into a starting RT when Lane Johnson starts to decline.  I think a good coaching staff could turn him into a NFL player.  I say it's worth a shot on kicking the tires.  Use the winning culture get guys like this into the program and hopefully develop into something. 

Your thought above makes total sense, unless of course Leatherwood is injured, or having other problems. In the short video I posted, he was a freshman stepping in for an injured Jonah Williams. He was also a teammate of Eagle guard Landon Dickerson in the 2021 title game.  Leatherwood has plenty of experience at guard as well.

 

Again, I have no way of knowing what type of problem he may or may not have but I agree with you in that he really might be worth a look. The NFL isn't for everybody but he was an excellent college player.

Landon Dickerson is the man. Dudes a black belt.

He is one of my favorite players. I REALLY wanted the Bills to take him but of course McDermott puts defense first. That said, we did well taking Rousseau but I really do think that Dickerson would have made a HUGE difference on our Bills.

 

Did you see him carrying Coach Saban on the field after title game?

Also credited with zero missed tackles. Did surrender 75% completions for 9 yards per, and a QB Rating of 90 last year.

I could see us adding him to the PS potentially.

I think there’s an experience limit for being put on practice squad.   Crowder has been around a while.

 

Whoops, I was wrong. They changed the rules allowing for up to 6 players with no experience limits

They changed those rules. You can have a couple veterans on the PS now

Trubisky just signed a 2 year extension in May

 

Case Keenum just signed a 2 year $6.25M contract with Houston, $4M guaranteed, in March.

Phillips is a guard.

 

Galvin is a rookie UDFA, so there it will just come down to whether we like him more than we like Gouraige and whether he'd rather live on Detroit's PS or ours; he's not likely to be The Answer at reserve OT.

Of the 16 players, 6 can have "no limit on the number of accrued seasons"

Just adding information to your information.  Interesting on Phillips.

Just make him work for minimum wage at The Bills Store...or even better, put him on 100% commission. 🤔
