scenario - trade Elam to a man intensive D like the Browns for a 6th next year or 7th this year just to dump the salary and then consider a vet min offer to D Jackson as backup with incentives for the amount of playing time in the event of injury to a starter..perhaps...

 

Could probably only get an 8th for him

[Cheektowaga Chad]

Is he a guy you could transition to safety?

 

I don't recall his tackling abilities, but size wise,speed wise, and being more a zone guy all points to this in my opinion 

[Kelly to Allen]

Dane Jackson is the perfect vet backup cb

Scenario - all you get for Elam is a ham sandwich, minus the ham.

He would have been the 3rd outside guy on the roster last year, if he comes in on a low cost deal, I’d be happy to have him back as a depth guy.

Don't underestimate Beane. He was able to trade Marshall Newhouse for a draft pick.

Who do you like that’s better in FA and at what price.

I created a thread on who I’d prefer and why

 

 

[RyanC883]

get him, get a CB in the 3rd or something.  No need to reach.  

[Process]

No brainier. Such an easy fix for the CB3 spot and also a guy that can start if needed. 

[Dablitzkrieg]

No 👎🏽 

[Don Otreply]

As a back up only, he’s not good enough to be a starter, jmo.

Paulson Adebo is my # 1 want but he’s probably going to fetch a pretty penny. 
 

A guy like Kristian Fulton might not be a bad play for someone cheaper. 
 

I will say maybe they bring back Jackson if they are trying to fill holes at it appears the Bills are now fully into the comp pick game and taking a guy like Jackson doesn’t count versus an Adebo

If we trade Elam at this point it will probably be the old Boogie Basham pick swap. If we’re lucky we can get a 5 while giving up Elam and a 7th. I think that’s like best case scenario tho for the Bills 

[machine gun kelly]

As long as vet. Minimum, I’m good with it.  He knows the system and at most is the 4th CB, as you know Elam is gone.  You couldn’t get a ham sandwich for that guy.  Dane outplayed him regularly.

[GASabresIUFan]

We don't have to bring in every ex-Bill or ex-Panther (or in this case ex-bill and ex-panther)  Maybe we can try for some better players? 

 

Nothing wrong with wanting Elam gone and to upgrade the CBs on this roster.  It's a necessity, but bringing back Jackson doesn't move the needle.

I'm more interested in upgrading the position, not moving sideways.  Sign a tier 2 free agent at least and then draft a guy in the first two rounds of the draft.

[Miyagi-Do Karate]

If I had to guess based on the new DB coach, they are going to re-make their entire CB room with more man guys. So Jackson could be out.

[PauleeeWalnuts]

Guy would never get his head around, back was always to the ball. Drove me nuts 

[LABILLBACKER]

At the league minimum,  sure why not as depth.  It's not like we're keeping Elam anyway.  Draft 2 CB's in April. I'd still try to go after DJ Reed or Adebo?

[davefan66]

Absolutely sign him.

 

Keep looking in FA and draft for more CB help.  Keep the best players!
