Re: Bills sign S Taylor Rapp
Good signing I guess. 1 year deals are now the thing.
Re: Bills sign S Taylor Rapp
They need the depth at S. No issues.
Re: Bills sign S Taylor Rapp
Saw this on PFT. He is #72 on their top 100 list of NFL free agents. Had a meeting with the Patriots also. Sounds like a reasonable depth signing.

Re: Bills sign S Taylor Rapp
I was pretty surprised to see this. I thought he was a potential replacement for Poyer early in free agency and that someone would sign him as a starter. The secondary is looking really deep. I hope we invest all our draft picks at other positions now.
Re: Bills sign S Taylor Rapp
Solid signing, safety won't as quickly turn to s*** if Poyer or Hyde miss playing time.
Re: Bills sign S Taylor Rapp
Proven starter
Rapp brings a solid resume to the Buffalo Bills, having started 48 of 57 games since he entered the league in 2019. For his career, Rapp has 330 tackles, eight tackles for loss, and five quarterback hits with 1.5 sacks. He also has nine interceptions for 103 yards with one touchdown; 23 passes defended, one forced fumble, and three fumble recoveries.
Re: Bills sign S Taylor Rapp
Interesting. He's starting quality.
Re: Bills sign S Taylor Rapp
Nice. Hopefully a better option than Johnson or Marlowe.

Sure looks like the Bills are not going to re-sign Johnson or Marlowe.
Rapp has the potential to slide into the #4 S spot if Hamlin comes back. Still room to draft a S in the later rounds.
Re: Bills sign S Taylor Rapp
I think Johnson already signed with Vegas. I wouldn't rule out a safety early in the draft yet, we're going to need two new starters between now and '24-'25.
Re: Bills sign S Taylor Rapp
This guy was a starter in LA for 44 games. This is a quality signing and at 25 it is a potentially great signing. Probably a 1 year deal with the potential to resign with more cap space next season
Re: Bills sign S Taylor Rapp
Hyde's condition may be chronic. Poyer is no longer bulletproof and we don't have any sure heir apparent at the position.
The draft is chock full of safeties and I'd be surprised if we didn't still snag one in the middle rounds.
I think they like Jammie Robinson.
I like Daniel Scott late.
Re: Bills sign S Taylor Rapp
Don’t really see any downside to this signing. I like it a lot.

Re: Bills sign S Taylor Rapp
Maybe we will see some big nickel with 3 safeties.

He's better than Hamlin.
Re: Bills sign S Taylor Rapp
Very ok with it!
:gobills:
Re: Bills sign S Taylor Rapp
I like this signing. Just watched some all 22 film of him on Cover 1. A solid tackler with great technique (something the Bills need badly).
Re: Bills sign S Taylor Rapp
Really surprised he took a one year deal…thought a team would have offered him more if an opportunity. But I’m glad we got him cause I’m sure he’ll see the field a lot. Both starting safeties are getting old.
