C. We signed Davis. This will come as a shock...you can have more than one player at a position. Moving to a 3-4, we needed to add linebackers, because, we simply didn't have enough safeties to provide adequate depth.
D. He publicly blasted the Bills for the Incognito move. Nix may be the GM now but Brandon was still the guy and is still the guy calling the shots. You mean Richie Incognito, correct? The guy that Nix though so highly of, that he didn't even tender him, and let him walk for free....to the Dolphins. Of course, we are stacked on the OL, so it's not like we could use an NFL starter there. Nix, if not in the exact grandiloquence of Mitchell, must agree with him. Brandon, what are you getting at exactly?
If a player can't hack it on the field, teams are going to be accepting of this stupid twitter BS. What he says on Twitter has little to no bearing on the real world. Guys that pull the strings in the operation of an NFL franchise, really don't care what he "Tweets." That is reserved for 13 year old girls, and fans that are looking to make a big deal out of every little thing that athletes post.
Mitchell's career is in a downward spiral as far as I'm concerned. You're absolutely right, and your history as an NFL talent evaluator speaks for itself. Maybe we trade Mitchell/Whitner/Lynch to the Patriots for a 5th rounder.
