    Gerald Hodges joining Bills on one-year deal

    Nice signing.

    Coming off his best NFL season in 2016 with the 49ers, linebacker Gerald Hodges has signed with the Bills.

    Re: Gerald Hodges joining Bills on one-year deal

    Just posted this in another thread but ill post it here too:



    Hodges could represent a good find this late in free agency. The 26-year-old is coming off the best season of his four-year career, starting 12 games and making 83 tackles, three sacks and two interceptions. In 584 defensive snaps, he posted the eighth-highest overall grade of any inside linebacker, according to analytics web site Pro Football Focus.

      Bill just texted me with this. Like I matter. ROFL.

      I wonder if Whaley got a text too.

        Not a bad option at this point for a team that needs 4-3 LB's.

          Should've been more than 1 year.

          He's only 26.

            Is he an inside linebacker or an outside linebacker? Seems like the bigger need is on the outside.

              It's rare this late in the game a player signs a long term deal. You'll see nothing but 1 year deals until free agency 2018.

                  He played an inside backer in a 3-4 defense. The Bills seem to be projecting him as competition as a weak side linebacker in their 4-3.
                  I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.

                  I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

                    I hope that doesn't mean they are going to run Alexander at SAM.

                      Because nobody wanted him.

                        Maybe his tour of the country took this long, he visited damn near every team in the league.

                          I wouldn't say nobody wanted him, he had quite a few visits in the past couple of weeks, he met with the Pats, Seahawks, Giants and Colts, plus a couple more teams. Obviously there were teams interested, why he chose the Bills would be the question.

                            My guess would be that none of those other teams provided as clear a path to playing time, which on a one year low money deal, he needs in order to get a contract for next season.
