Bills resigning Rapp

[drummernut74]

News flash … this was the plan since last year when they brought him in 

[Big Blitz]

Doesn’t turn 27 till December

 

 

Fingers crossed we got our next Poyer.  

[BuffaloBillyG]

He played a lot better later in the year. Versatile. I don't mind it pending the actual numbers.

 

Today is freaking bananas.

[Blank Stare]

I like this. Rapp has one year in the system, young enough, plays physical, and came on at the end of the season. Was probably going to be the Poyer replacement last year if it wasn’t for him coming back. Trust this regime at defensive back. 

[Aussie Joe]

I said about 2 months ago that it wouldn’t surprise me if he was back … thought his play improved over the course of the season…

 

Money is more than more than I  thought they would have to pay …I was thinking 2 years  at $6m 

 

Edit - oh yes .. “ up to”… better wait for the official numbers

Exactly. Probably incentives that can get him there. But more likely an inexpensive option, especially in Year 1. 

 

He wasn't as bad as posters on here are making him out to be. Single handedly sealed the deal for us in Miami. Honestly preferred when he was in the lineup over Hyde.

Beane is on something stronger than coffee at this point 

[babulator]

"Up to" and for 3 years is good. I'm less critical of him than others, flags are dumb yes, but he brings a toughness I appreciate. I like it for less than 5m per.

Somebody needs to get the bag of coke away from Beane today

[EmotionallyUnstable]

Wished they went with rooks but hard to know the specifics of the $$$. Hoping the vet presence is worth the cost and if it isn’t, we can get out from under it easily. 

[GASabresIUFan]

Not a fan of this move, but with Poyer cut and Hyde gone, he was the only S around that knows the system and can arguably called a starter.  

[Warriorspikes51]

Next I’d like to see   “Bills expected to pursue Chris Jones in Free Agency”

 

Seriously. Bidding war. Drive the price up for KC

What a terrible deal. He was a liability last year.

He was?

But I do know that Rapp is not a good player

Exactly,  I wasn't impressed early when he wasn't on the field often,  but when he started to get more action,  he made an impact.  Like most of our DB's , I would expect continued improvement.

By the way it's "re-signing" not resigning.  Resigning is something Sabres GM Kevyn Adams should do.

[Brandon]

Depending on the contract structure...and I expect it's team friendly...I do like this signing and it's one I expected.  He's young,  he's been in the system for a year,  plays aggressively (maybe a bit too much) and I thought he played pretty well later in the season before the injury.
