That's cold but true. Better them than Darryl. If he has another breakout game he will be on the radar for a few other teams looking for some speed on the edge.

DJ is doing his thing, but probably also has to do with the financial scenario. I'm sure Harold's number was a lot bigger than DJs. So if you can get at least comparable production for less money, no brainer for organization.

it was a wonderful, wonderful start for dj. but let's not get ahead of ourselves. he still has a lot more "proving" to do and i think he's up to the challenge. he's gonna have to continue to impress if he's gonna lock himself in on the 53 man roster or the practice team...

Buffalo will likely not be able to stash Bam on their practice squad if there's a decision on roster spot #53 if he has another notable performance in Game 2 or 3. Some pass rush-hungry team will see his tape and sign him off the PS for Week 1. Brandon Beane knows this when he traded Harold. I expect Bam to be on Buffalo's Week 1 roster.

5 takeaways from the Bills this week
John Murphy PLAY-BY-PLAY/HOST Buffalo Bills defensive end Darryl Johnson (92) sacks quarterback Phillip Walker during Buffalo Bills vs Indianapolis Colts at New Era Field, August 8, 2019. Photo by Bill Wippert The Bills made the transition from the Rochester phase of training camp to their first preseason game at New Era Field. And there were plenty of interesting moments on One Bills Live where we reviewed all the action –the Colts game, the upcoming regular season, and some of our favorite Bills memories of the past. Here are some of my observations from this week. 1. SEVENTH-ROUNDER MAKES GOOD FIRST IMPRESSIONBuffalo’s 2019 draft class won favorable reviews from most observers at Thursday’s preseason opener against the Colts. And that goes right down to the last pick in the draft, defensive end Darryl Johnson, the Bills seventh round pick from North Carolina A&T. He played 30 snaps on defense, 12 more on special teams and put up an impressive stat line. Johnson had one sack, three tackles and one pass defensed. Greg Cosell, executive producer and analyst for “NFL Matchup” on ESPN, took note of Johnson’s performance and went back to look at his pre-draft analysis of the Bills rookie. “What I said was that he was a very intriguing day three prospect with a desirable combination of size, length, and natural quickness,” Cosell told One Bills Live. “Sometimes he has the tendency to play high, but the baseline traits are there for him to develop into an effective NFL edge rusher. I think we saw some of that in the game.” Cosell admits it’s only a one-game sample, but he thinks Darryl Johnson’s first preseason performance will lead to more snaps in the next few weeks. “He’ll get an opportunity, because this team is looking for edge pass rushers,” Cosell said. “I think they’re looking for another edge player and once you start getting into camp, coaches aren’t worried about who the first-round pick or the second-round pick is. They’re looking for production because their jobs are on the line. And Daryl Johnson is going to get an opportunity to show that he belongs, even if he is a sub-package player and plays 20 snaps a game. If he can continue this kind of production with these kind of traits, he’ll get an opportunity.” Read more: www.buffalobills.com/news/5-takeaways-from-the-bills-this-week

I think the bills just signed another veteran DE. Sam Acho.... straight journeyman after breaking his left fibula in 2013. www.pro-football-reference.com/players/A/AchoSa00.htmConsidering that no one else had signed him to this point... he's a competition play at age 30.

Now we will see what he is really made of now that the cat is out of the bag . When they started focusing on him more in the next preseason game. man, i just luv seeing aggies succeed in the nfl! it puts a feather in our program's cap and it helps recruiting "big time"! hopefully dj will continue to impress. he should have a "chip" on his shoulder for being picked so late in the draft. plenty of "motivation" for the kid and that's a good thing... Man I am crying this dude could be doing this against Duke and ELON. Where is my E&J !!!!!! I can't take it.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
