Trade Edwards for Tre, stash Tre on PS.  Bring Tre home!

 

Oh, and then re-sign Micah out of retirement too.

You literally beat me by 13 seconds! Wait... did I say that... too soon? LOL

I wonder how much of a negative McDermott feels this is.  Do you really want a player around who clearly doesn’t want to be there?  I don’t know what the cap implications are after cutting him, but “don’t let the door hit ya on the way out”.

 

Would be nice if they could swing a trade for a S that they could plan to keep for a couple years.

He visited the Colts before us in the offseason, they have a few guys in the secondary banged up, maybe we can flip him there for a late round pick and bring back Poyer?

FYI, Poyer dropped an easy INT last week.

Who is Mike Edwards?

[Jerboski]

Mike for honey badger 

let’s get it done 

[billieve420]

Trade him to the NFC or don't send him to any contenders in the AFC is all I would ask if they move him.

I’ll bet Taylor Rapp is happy he kept his head down and mouth shut here for a year as primarily a depth piece before getting rewarded as a starter with a 3 year deal.

 

On second thought, given his violent play style, maybe “kept his head down” could be worded better…

Yeah, the Bills are making Rapp wear the Guardian cap to protect the other defensive players.

Sure, you want him for a four pack of mighties.  McD is a genius with D Backs, and if he doesn’t want Edwards on the field, I trust his judgment.  Maybe a backup safety can make it work somewhere else, but he doesn’t seem to be a fit here.

For all my issues with McDermott, his evaluation with DB's is NOT one of them.   I say package him, maybe Elam for a DT or something.

All I know is since he put that on, his play has gotten much better. Maybe it slows him down a little?

I've been enjoying the occasional drop-in on Fin Heaven this year. It's an absolute delight, if you haven't been over there recently. But, boy oh boy, Dolphins fans are perpetually angry at Jordan Poyer. I don't think Poyer is an upgrade over Rapp at this stage of his career, and maybe only marginally better than Hamlin.

Perhaps the concussion knocked some sense into him.

He's cooked. No speed left. He's been slowing down for a couple years and instincts and experience can only take you so far.

Yup. It's been noticeable, so it has been very entertaining to watch Dolphins fans realize it in real time.

I want to find my next ex wife. 

 

Neither Edwards or I will get what we want this week it seems

[somnus00]

We've been so spoiled by elite safety play for years, that we hate on Damar who has actual played fine this year. By no means is he a star, but he doesn't seem to make many mistakes.

[Logic]

No one is trading for Mike Edwards.

Maybe -- MAYBE -- you could get someone to swap their 6th for our 7th, but I doubt even that.

It's more likely that the Bills will just release him because they don't want a malcontent in the locker room. 

[RunTheBall]

Poyer was washed last year. Why do you think he was playing in the box all the time?

 

Tre, as much as I love him, is done as well. If they cut him I’d have no problem putting him on the PS just for the good vibes but his playing days are over. Hilarious that people think he can be converted to safety when he was never a great tackler.

 

I don’t have a problem moving Edwards if McBeane thinks it’s the right thing to do but unless we are getting Honey Badger or a solid safety backup I don’t see it happening.

He’ll hopefully improve recognition speed and play faster. He’s just very safe. Maybe McDermott likes that. The future is Bishop, he’s not ready.

Thank you! No more Hyde, no more Poyer. Dear God they are old, slow as hell, never defended the run well and broken down. Its past time to move on.

I think Bishop will become the Real deal.
