2019 Regular Season Roster

Nobodyinparticular said:
Renfrow has been an absolute stud in the past 3 wins. He's making big strides each week it seems. His body control and change of direction as he tracks down the ball is other-wordly. And he starting to put those hands to use.

And for a slow guy he makes YAC. Give it to him in stride and he tacks on a few extra yards.
 
So now our PFF options at LB are:

Compton: 65.3
Whitehead: 57.4
Wilber: 48.0
Morrow: 47.6
Brown: 44.1
Lee: 29.2

Renfrow showed some speed yesterday as well.
 
Hopefully a change of scenery is good for Brown. Has been solid over the last few years.

Probably wanted out of Cincy.

Wonder if there was a gentlemen’s agreement that he would not sign with us until after we played Cinci. Regardless, it looks like we wanted a true MLB on the roster, so we have the option to moving Whitehead back to his more natural position and perhaps Morrow to the bench on running downs if we remain in a nickel.

Give him a year to build up some strength and he should only improve. Excellent hands and route running and his short area burst is solid. Pressure situations don't see to bother him at all. He's going to be a reliable one for a long time.
 
Preston Brown:

In 2017, before signing a one-year prove up deal with Cinci, his home town, Brown led the league in tackles. Drafted in the 3rd by Buff in 2014, he has played all three linebacker spots for four head coaches in his four seasons with the Bills. He's also been used as a "dime" linebacker in coverage, making him a versatile option. After the 2018 season, Cinci resigned Brown to a 3 year contract for up to $21M with incentives, even though he was injured for most of the 2018 season, making only 7 starts. He got benched this year after 8 starts and released after 9 games. According to PFR, his best year was 2015.

Don't see many 255lb "dime" LBers.

Mo’s been banging the table for this guy, first for a trade, then a waiver claim, and now we got him cheap:


Maurice Moton @MoeMoton 15m
I’ve been waiting for this day. Linebacker Preston Brown signs with the #Raiders (h/t @matthewkawahara, @BairNBCS) I really like it

Maurice Moton @MoeMoton
I wanted the #Raiders to trade for Preston Brown, screamed it from the mountaintops (and on @SilverBlack2Day airwaves), now he’s available. Put in a claim. https://t.co/juVtcEodyN
