How good is he?

 

[BadMoFo]

Not the Bucs player we were hoping for.

Another Bucs problem child. He was deactivated during a preseason game this year for disciplinary reasons. It worked out for Talib and Blount.

Granted, he is not nearly the player those two were.

 

[strngplyr]

Impossible. Belichick said he was watching Broncos film all day. He wouldn't mislead the media.

Also lol, people work fast:

wikipedia -

• New England Patriots (2014–present)

He's also credited with recovering the onside kick against the Fivehead in the superbowl in 09. We must be planning something on Sunday!

Is he any good? Honestly never heard of him

[SHOWTIME15]

He's an OLB, not the ILB we really need

 

[BelichickFan]

How good is he?

Just a backup/depth type guy.

 

[PP2]

Trade confirmed by Yates. It is a done deal.

 

[FourierSeries]

Who?

 

[BobDigital]

Just a backup and special teamer it looks like. Undersized. About 230.

Nothing special. Maybe an Ebner replacement if he is hurt bad.

Casillas a 6-1, 227 pounder in 6th season out of Wisconsin. Has played for Saints & Bucs. Best year was 2011--43 tackles, 2 sacks, 13 games.

Always a step ahead of the league, Belichick has developed his own farm team.

Serviceable. This points to the writing being on the wall for Skinner. Back to PS.

EDIT: I am in error. We waived Barker instead.

Curious what the price was..

 

[BobDigital]

Was hoping for a bigger trade for a DE or something.
