msw2112 Posted March 18 Posted March 18 (edited) Before seeing this thread today, I was not familiar with this player. I like what I see. He's young and talented and he's played (at least) a full season post-achilles with no ill effects from it. The shoulder injury seems to be unrelated and minor. It also appears that the Colts have a younger, cheaper option, so it makes sense for them to move on from him, even if he's a good player. Seems like he'd be a good add for the Bills open safety spot, while still drafting one. Edited March 18 by msw2112 4 Quote

Eastport bills Posted March 18 Posted March 18 Let’s go, can we sign a veteran starter to replace all the foundational pieces( Poyer,White, Hyde, Settle, Davis, Bates, Morse, etc) we lost. We need this type of a player. Sign Blackmon. We blew the Armstead signing. We need more veterans. Quote
HappyDays Posted March 18 Author Posted March 18 2 hours ago, BillsVet said: People in here getting excited about safeties. I mean we at least need a starting caliber safety, ideally two. Right now we have zero on the roster. The hope is that Blackmon's injury history means we get a young safety with high upside signed to a lowball deal, just like we did with Poyer and Hyde. 9 Quote

Turbo44 Posted March 18 Posted March 18 Yep - this appears to be a no brainer signing if not cost prohibitive. His analytics for coverage skills and tackling are elite. If he’s $5m year you could structure it so it’s 2024 cap friendly: 5 years $20m, $10m singing bonus with salaries of $1.5m for each of the first 3 years and $5.5m in year 4. This way the cap hit would be $4m for first 3 years and $8m in year 4 (dead cap of $2.5m if you cut him before year 4). No brainer 1 1 Quote
RG Murdock Posted March 18 Posted March 18 3 years $25M. $18M guaranteed should get it done. Next. Quote

Yantha Posted March 18 Posted March 18 This is good. I like the idea for stability while we draft Safety. Hope the medicals are okay. 1 Quote
TBBills Fan Posted March 18 Posted March 18 4 hours ago, TheyCallMeAndy said: Might be different now, Poyer and Hyde were interchangeable. I’m not sure that we want Rapp being a single high safety. Rapp feels like Jamal Adams light to me. In the box "big hitter" can't cover like whiffner Quote
