Wants and would are two different words. I would welcome him, and I want him. But I would rather not overpay.

[strive_for_five_guy]

Maybe Myles Garrett can lure him to Cleveland?  Heard they have something special brewing there.

[Warriorspikes51]

Seems like Bills are his top choice he brought them up first unprompted 

 

get it done!  Great veteran option for a year or 2

The Mahomes killer. Wanted him last year. Would still love him now. 

[julian]

Yes please

[aristocrat]

One year deal for 7.5 mil last year so not that insane of a deal. Throw a void year and we don’t have to draft a safety this year

I think the Bills are "set" at safety after they add a mid-round pick there. I think Hamlin adds depth while Forrest is their competition for Rapp/Cole. I think they will add a mid-rounder for depth/development given that Hamlin and Forrest are on one year deals.

Could not disagree more. Safety might be their weakest position group. This is the guy they should have paid for instead of Bosa. Maybe they can make it work somehow. Would love this for the secondary.

I don’t expect us to…but would love to sign him before the draft  2 years 12 mil  toss a void year on

Everyone who's floating out there right now are in limbo. The league is on to the Draft. That's why you're hearing so much "i'd love to play for" so and so lately. They're getting stir crazy.

 

Simmons will get a starting role somewhere post-Draft from someone who's board didn't fall right at Safety. Doubtful that will be us.

 

We're bringing back everyone from last season and a Diamond in the Rough type in Forrest. We'll probably Draft someone somewhere and they'll be set in their eyes. They could have had him last year if they wanted and passed. I'd be surprised if they wanted him now at 32 years old.

^ awesome. As usual.🙄😂  

 

Sign him this week.

[TheWeatherMan]

Makes too much sense…so it won’t happen.  We need more former Panthers 

[JJGauna]

Me too!

I have been wondering why he hasn't been picked up by any team yet. 

And while we are talking of DBs, Asante Samuel Jr and Gilmore are still available too. 

[Doc Brown]

For those that give any credence to PFF he had an overall grade of 59.9 which was 113th out of 171 qualified safeties.  I'd be shocked if he's on the Bills radar.

It's not that unusual for veteran free agents will hold out until after the draft as teams look to patch up holes on their roster they failed to address in the draft.

Yeah but in reverse, if the Bills thought any of them can play competently for a year, then their hand is less forced during the draft. I am not looking for long term solutions, just a 1 year rental. Also allows us to groom any DB drafted this year. 

[somnus00]

Let me guess... he wants to play for a winner.

I hear what you're saying but Simmons was sitting their for the taking last year as a free agent all the way until mid August before signing with the Falcons.  There were no reports the Bills were interested so I don't see why they would be now.

That's a fair point.
