Productive depth D-line during his stint in Carolina. Big - 6'6. Also, Commanthers.

Welcome to the squad 🙌

Know nothing about him but interesting backstory. Turning 30 in a few weeks, no college ball, at 6'6" and 265 I dont think he can play the interior.

--------------

Efe Obada has earned the trust of the Buffalo Bills’ coaching staff.

That was evident by the snap counts during the team’s 33-21 victory over the New England Patriots on Sunday at Gillette Stadium. Obada played 36 of the Bills’ 64 defensive snaps in the win. That was 59% of the defensive total, behind only defensive tackle Ed Oliver (43 snaps, 67%) in playing time along the defensive line.

^^ This is after their Dec 27, 2021 game vs Pats so its pretty deep into the season.

Stats say he started 1 game last year w the Bills, I guess they HEAVILY rotate the front 4 .. which seems to becoming the cool new thing to do. DL by committee.

Id guess he competes with the plethora of DE guys we have.

At 6'6" and 265 im sure he will get moved in some if he makes the roster but a tall and not stout body wont do well in the trenches on run plays.

Definitely not an interior guy, he's a DE. We have James Smith Williams but you have to run 4 deep at that position, especially with Chase coming back from an ACL.

Doubt this is for more than $1.0M or so. $2.0M at absolute max. Depth signing only. Probably competes with Shaka Toney and William Bradley King. Probably beats them both because they didn't add much for us. Competition.

I’d don’t know is Danny is the answer in the slot, but he held own pretty well there second half of season. Good depth, get some teams play

Important part of the equation, when you sign your own guys back they don't count against you in the compensatory pick formula.

That's the biggest argument against spending a lot at MLB, making sure we don't cancel out the 3rd round pick we have coming our way for Scherff.

Good point. Might be better holding off, and going some form of WR, S, LB, in the 1st, 2nd, and 4th rounds.

That was the benefit of Wagner and Jordan Hicks, both were cut

Not saying this is not a valid argument.
But for me potentially leaving a gaping hole in the middle of our defense outweighs the value of a 3.5 round pick (compensatory picks should be called that way in my view, they come at the end of the round and before the next one).

With so many people yearning for a switch to a 4-3 defense because it would fit our roster better (which may have been overblown but was still a reasonable argument IMO), I'm surprised some seem to be ok-ish with having such a weak LB squad for a 3rd season in a row.

We did draft a LB in the 1st round last year. Turns out that it just appears to be that he is a better fit at WLB.

I still think Davis is going to be a stud. And I like Holcomb at SLB. So I think we're gonna be improved at LB next year regardless. Just need to find a MLB. I think we can find that in the draft or post draft cuts.

I don’t think anybody was saying we shouldn’t pick up a MLB, I think it’s a matter of trying to do so in such a way that you keep that Scherff comp pick.

Looks like the rich are getting richer:

@RapSheet
The #Rams are loading up again? Sources say six-time All-Pro LB Bobby Wagner is visiting them and there is mutual interest in doing a deal. A potential huge defensive addition.
