This is a totally legit signing in my opinion. I am very critical of this team and its management right now, but I have no problems with this signing, it makes complete sense. We have major issues in our secondary right now and Vincent is coming off a minor injury where the Bills management screwed up and put him on Major IR, vs. minor IR. He on the down side of a great career, true, but based on his numbers last year, is still capable of making a significant contribution. I ask you why we WOULDN'T make this move? It makes too much sense any way you look at it.

Don't expect miracles, but TV is a SIGNIFICANT upgrade to our existing secondary. I would expect to see him in at nickel DB and/or SS in place of AA on passing downs. It's wishful thinking, but I would LOVE to see Arch moved up to WLB/OLB, the guy can't cover anything more than a Tight end at best.

I totally agree.

Some want to spin this as the team going after another big name FA, but I've got news for you this is the team going after the best available warm body out there. Yes it's a desperate move, but there simply is not a better option out there. For those not behind this move, I ask what would you suggest we do at this point?

seriously, whats the argument here? no one's signing him to a 7 year deal. he's a BANDAGE. you know, from all that BLOOD COMING OUT???
