Doc Brown Posted March 28 Posted March 28 (edited) Per Ryan Talbot.... Beane loves his ex Panthers. Edited March 28 by Doc Brown 3 Quote
CheshireCT Posted March 28 Posted March 28 There are more factors to signing a player than just what you see on tape. Beane has friends inside the Panthers he trusts, which is why the Bills sign players from the Panthers. Just because the Panthers are a bad team, doesn't mean every player coming from them is worthless. 4 1 5 Quote
GunnerBill Posted March 28 Posted March 28 likely a vet minimum to give them a baseline 4th DT after Oliver, Jones and Johnson. I'd be surprised if he ends up making the 53. But if they don't land a DT anywhere in the draft maybe he has a shot. 6 9 1 Quote
Kirby Jackson Posted March 28 Posted March 28 Probably a vet minimum deal to compete for the 5th DT role. He’s a guy that’s played a bunch in the NFL. What’s not to like? Who would you prefer as the 5th (or 6th DT)? 6 11 1 Quote
colin Posted March 28 Posted March 28 so we now have basically full roster depth at all positions, so we won't NEED to draft a guy due to lack of bodies in a slot. kinda makes sense. the difference this year vs prior years imo is that we used to way over pay depth type positions and marginal starters, at S, OL (staffold!), and always at DL. looks like we are packing in more bottom of the pile contracts. 9 Quote

And that's also playing into why we have been signing quite a few former Washington Commanders over the years. Just this year we grab Toohill and Samuel. Signed Crowder and went after that RB that changed his mind and went back to Washington. Kyle Allen played for both Washington and Carolina. It's a fairly common practice around the league. Heck look at all the former Bills brought in by Daboll for the NYG. 2 1 Quote

To take it a step further, when you have a franchise QB, the cap needs to be allocated to certain positions. You pay your LT (Dawkins), top WR (Diggs), pass rush (Oliver, Von) and top CB (was Tre’s contract). You don’t spend on your 3rd & 4th DT (Settle & Ford) or ST guys (Neal and Matakevich). 7 3 Quote

JGMcD2 Posted March 28 Posted March 28 Jesus Christ. He played for the Panthers for 1 season… 2023. We’re 7 years removed from McBeane being there… are some of you that clueless? 5 1 2 4 8 1 9 2 Quote
racketmaster Posted March 28 Posted March 28 Not sure why anyone would complain about depth signing of a veteran who has been averaging double the amount of tackles that Tim Settle has been making for us. 7 Quote
