James Bradberry visits Bills

[Snappysnackcakes]

Practice squad at cutdown day. 

[First Round Bust]

can he move to and play safety posts coming in 3...2....1

[Prospector]

Can we try him out at Safety?🤗

[Logic]

He fits the "veteran, past-his-prime cornerback" archetype that Beane likes to sign sometimes. Josh Norman, Vontae Davis, etc.

Sometimes those guys make game-changing Peanut punches and help you win a game. Sometimes they retire at halftime. Gotta roll the dice to find out which one Bradberry would be.

He flirted with moving to safety last off-season in Philly to prolong his career as he had a brutal 2023 campaign at outside CB.  It's possible that's what the Bills have that possibility in mind with him.

If that were the case I'd bring Tre back for a look as far as a Safety conversion or CB3/4 option. He's younger, a fan favorite, knows the scheme and is farther removed from his injury I believe.

Waiting for the crowd of people who don't want a CB Drafted in the first 3 picks to come in and argue he's still good...

[RyanC883]

Like that they are looking at him.  If rumors about playing safety are true and he can handle that it may add to both CB and safety depth. 
 

 

Question:  can they put him through drills to see how the recovery process is going?

Eh I think if he’s super cheap it’s worth doing. You get a veteran voice in the room to mentor Amos/Hairston or whoever they draft in the first round. Dude has been to Super Bowls. It’s a very young DB room. Plus you get a contingency plan as a very experienced backup and you create smoke a smokescreen that your biggest hole on the roster is filled. 

I don’t buy it, there is little chance he can be competitive as a cb on the field at this point, sure with the vet tutoring thing, but it will take another seasons worth of time before he is mediocre at his job, these injuries take two years to fully recover from,

He continues to be terrible and washed.

So what you’re saying is he would be the 2nd best CB on the this team? I.e. Terrible and Washed > God awful

Dane Jackson was better than the 2023 version of James Bradberry at CB.  Eagles fans were shocked he made the final 53 last year.

Not joking, I think Dane and Ingram have more to offer at this point. He is that bad. 

[Warriorspikes51]

I’d rather see him on the field than Dane

Problem is, Tre is under contract with the Ravens.

pretty sure he is a UFA. Signed a 1 year deal with the Rams last year

Yeah but as a cheap guy in the offseason who maybe doesn’t even make the team I think it’s ok. If they are bringing him in to be a starter I would be very very concerned

[Mr. WEO]

We all know Beane's kink for handing out 1 year contracts, but I think the Bills are well beyond the point where they should be buying out of the day old bread bin.

Turning 32 in August, coming off a torn Achilles. No thanks.

We might as well call Tre White if we want old guys with a torn Achilles.

I'm familiar with "Something Wicked This Way Comes", but haven't read any of his numerous other works. Didn't he die in 2012?

Even Bradbury was not the man he once was near the end of his career.

Unlike Bradberry , he was a legendary writer. Now if we could find a CB named Asimov .....

He's a poor tackler so I doubt it.  I'd be surprised if Tre ever plays another down of football which sucks but that's life in the NFL.  It's always why I never blame a player for taking the money while they still can.
