Quote:YES. Safeties can play until almost 40 when you're elite. Look at Charles Woodson, Ed Reed, etc. Reggie Nelson was elite this year with 8 INT's. Slow white 32 year old LB's is a HUGE difference. Poz is old.You seriously just said that because a Hall of Famer did it, everyone else can.
Quote:There may be another intriguing CB option. In addition to cutting Mario Williams to get under the cap, I'm seeing some talk of them possibly doing the same with CB Leodis McKelvin before his $750,000 roster bonus comes due on March 11. The move would save the Bills well over $3 mil.I'd be interested. He's on the wrong side of 30 and not a fit for Gus' scheme on the outside, but as a nickel corner who can return kickoffs, punts too if Greene's role on offense expands? Yeah, I'd be curious to see what he's got.
Quote:I think you misread what I wrote. I am laughing at the guy who says Reggie Nelson is too old at age 32 coming off his best season of his career and the best safety season in the NFL this year. He has 3-4 solid seasons left. Safeties, like QBs, are able to play at an elite level LONGER than other positions.Not 40. Only specialists can semi-regularly play to 40, and even that's not a guarantee. Just look at Scobee. 0-to-done at 33.
