Nate Orchard - LB - Bills
Bills signed DE Nate Orchard, formerly of the Browns, to a one-year contract.
Orchard was one of the main characters on this summer's Hard Knocks featuring the Browns but was ultimately part of final cuts. The 2015 second-round pick has never developed as a pass rusher but gets a change of scenery.

good for him. Hoping he plays well

I figured he would latch on somewhere.

I though we might bring him back while Ogbah was out, guess not.

I'm happy for Nate. I don't think I've ever seen Browns fans so collectively happy to see a guy latch on somewhere else. Speaks volumes of Nate's character. He's just the type of guy you want to see have success, even if it's not with us.
Cheerin' for him the whole way. Best of luck.

Yeah, he really came across as a nice guy and great teammate on HK. Not to mention a fine family man.. I was pulling for him but I get it.

I usually don't care what happens to a player once they leave here .... but I have to admit that Hard Knocks really created a soft spot in my heart for Orchard. He seems like a great husband and father, and I hope he manages a nice career.

Ditto.
For all the crap characters that get the headlines in the NFL, there are a ton of guys like Orchard that are just good, happy family men living their dream, and I'm happy one of ours gets to keep that going a little longer.
Bests wishes, Nate (except when you play Cleveland)!

Orchard is a guy that's hard not to like. Hard Knocks often helps separate the wheat from the chaff in that regard. For the most part I usually wish our players the best when they leave. But in this case even more than usual.
Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

I liked Orchard but he seemed a step slower than everyone else.

funny we get rid of three defensive starters who quickly find jobs elsewhere and our run defense takes a plunge. I don't think it's a coincidence.

Without Ogbah, we'll see how the new DL we picked up contribute
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."

Outside of trading shelton, who were the other starters? Regardless, I think our front 7 will do a better job of containing the run.

Good luck to him, but I wish he was here. I get it. This is a role model-type who didn't lower our bar. Thanks for your work!

Nate may be a nice guy and I'm glad he caught on with someone but when He was here I didn't hear many good things about him. Regardless, good luck Nate!

Just glad he got picked up by someone. He seems like one of the good guys. Gotta pull for him in hoping that he does well.
And the next head coach is ......
