Four-Year Starter Could Be The Biggest Free Agent Value Of 2024
The free agent safety market was loaded with talent at the start of the league year, and while most of those players have found new NFL homes, Julian Blackmon appears to have gone overlooked. It’s hard to understand why this happened, as the 2020 third-round pick has been one of the more consistent players since entering the league. The Utah product immediately earned a starting job as a rookie and maintained that role into 2021 before tearing his Achilles.
This type of injury can be a kiss of death to some players, but Blackmon returned better than ever. From 2022 to 2023, the free agent established himself as one of the game’s better deep safeties, as Julian Blackmon possesses the range and instincts to play over the top and slow down the deep passing game.

Hard pass.
Is it the contract he might expect?
No. I want nothing to do with this player In A Bills uniform.

Spoke to one of my fantasy league guys. Said he liked Blackmon. Was great in coverage especially. Only issue was he tends to get injured a bit too often.
Could be an underrated signing on an affordable deal.

This is the article I read:

Remember, Poyer and Hyde were not well known when we signed them either.
To be clear they would love to keep him ..... gotta be cap adjusting ..... everybody has these concerns apparently. The league needs to adjust this thing some way ........ QB's dollars count half

Last word on sports website heavily uses AI imho. when you read the articles you notice what's wrong.
I don't have an opinion on Blackmon, will be fine with it either way.
Colts sb nation seems to have wanted him back, injuries being the concern but he is a good safety when he's on the field....he has played in 29 games with 26 starts in two years since the Achilles.
Well I guess I can acquiesce. After all I doubt he would re rupture an Achilles so he’s already statistically more durable than our current DBs.
i still would rather see Mace pirouette in a tutu at Shea’s in his rendition of Goose Lake.
I saw it on a bootleg Betamax. Breathtaking. At 27:34 the tape is full of artifact… perhaps from all the freeze frame action. Dude you really could fill out the tights. You looked like you were shoplifting plumbing supplies
In 2021 and 2022, Blackmon allowed a quarterback rating when targeted of at least 134.7. That is awful. He also missed at least 12.8 percent of his tackle attempts in his first three years. If the Bills decide to sign him, I hope they have a plan for his skill set. Plus he plays SS, as does Taylor Rapp.
