Devin White Released by Eagles. Should we take a flyer?

[JohnNord]

There’s a reason he signed a $5M contract and has yet to take a snap on defense.

The Bills defense hasn't been as bad as people seem to think so not sure why there's a rush to sign bad players from other teams especially with Bernard and Johnson due to come back soon.

 

Bernard is already back. He had a tackle, 3 assisted tackles, and an INT last game.

None of this really matters. Injuries aside, I expected much more creativeness out of Babich. Can we go back to Sean calling the D?...hopefully before it's too late?

 

Here's an idea....FFFFING BLITZ!!!!   What do ya have to lose? DO NOT GIVE ME ANOTHER FRAZIER GUY!

Maybe to replace Morrow in the scheme of things. 

It's hard to be worse than Morrow

We have a gaping hole the size of the Grand Canyon, getting Bernard back, and we have no money, but a guy cut on a bad Eagles defense sounds like a good idea?  I don’t understand.

 

If we have to find $ for a trade, please, please, please, an outside WR.

Agree given milano is coming back, bernard back and decent and dorian stepping up. 
 

he has however not played a single snap for philly so the “bad defense” is a moot point. 
 

money spent elsewhere is a better option but he did get 3.5m so I’ll go out on a limb and say if he is signed it’s for cheap.

Cover LB released from Eagles, were not exactly deep.

 

Any interest?

 

Can he separate? What's his 40 time?

He ran a 4.42 at the combine making him the fastest LB.  That's substantially faster than Coleman & Hollins.  I think we've found our X?

He couldn't get on the field on a terrible defense. I think he is cooked. No idea what happened. He was excellent his first couple of years.

I would like us to take a look, but I am curious as to why he did not play at all for the Eagles.  (that I can remember)

He got on Dom DiSandro's bad side.  He ought to be thankful he was just released, and wasn't thrown in the Delaware River. 🤨

This is absolutely a player I would call his agent on.  Id be asking questions surrounding what many up thread have mentioned, what is going on with your client?  If I got some reasonably satisfactory or intriguing answers back, he gets brought in for a tryout.

[colin]

im really curious what the story on this guy is.  he is one of the most talented MLB/Off ball LBs ever.  to get traded out of a team where he dominated in a super bowl win (in his 2nd year no less) to a one year contract and then cut is crazy.  he got in trouble when he was younger, i'm certain he's a problem, but what happened?

 

anyhow, i'd take a flyer on him just because he has insane talent.

 

id much rather a safety, and obv wr is number one, but sure, i'd do it.

 

im guessing the guy is like out of control or something.

We need to win a game so we can stop linking every single player on another team or released by another team to the Bills.

 

Bulls"*t, I want 16 wide receivers at One Bills Drive by Thursday!

[colin]

ok, i did a tiny it of looking on this.  he has a horrible attitude, seems dumb as a post, and has zero fundamental football skills.

 

he's like taylor mays, the usc safety who got drafted in the 2nd round by SF, except with a bad attitude, and had like two magic seasons to start his career.  literally top chart talent tho

[Captain_Quint]

The word out of Philly is that once he didn't start, he became a malcontent and kind of shut down on the team. So coming here probably isn't something that he wants, and I doubt the Bills want that drama. Milano and Bernard are a great duo, when healthy.

Now this is somewhat of a silly statement as we have had struggles on defense and our LBs keep getting injured.

[Ethan in Cleveland]

Williams is looking better and better but still up and down. Bernard is back. 

White is terrible against the run so even playing him in a 4-3 doesn't make sense. 

My guess is he would be considerably better than Morrow and Andreessen. Neither of those guys should be on the roster.  I'd have no issue signing him to PS and get him up to speed. If Williams gets hurt they are really in trouble as they have no one on the roster that can play his position except an injured Milano.
