The tag will be over 19 million. Edmunds could simply sign it and we are screwed cap wise, since we can't pro rate the cap hit over a longer period of time.
I think he makes the team but is a healthy scratch most games. He likely starts next year but shares snaps with Cook. He then moves on after his contract expires. He's a good player who played hurt last year. He will play well this year and next.
If was going to get a big money deal you think he would have gotten it by now. Maybe teams want to see if he has recovered from his injuries or if he is still a top CB.
I like it. It gives smart teams an advantage and now that the Bills are good they should start to benefit from it. It doesn't prevent you from signing players who were cut so it's possible to sign free agents while adding comp picks. The Rams are the best at it.
Correct. If you gave up a 3rd to get him you might get a 3rd round compensatory pick back if he played well this year and signed a large contract elsewhere.
I think he would be much cheaper to re-sign now than after next season. If he has another season similar to this season, he will get signed for a lot of cash. Do the Bills have the cap space though?
I feel like you create your Board then wait to see what happens. If there are 7 players you love and the Bills are on the clock, trade down. If the 19th pick was just made and only one player you love is left, trade up. There are too many variables to have a pre-determined strategy of targeting positions or trades.
Did we need to force feed Diggs the ball? The offense was on fire. If Diggs presence allows for everyone else to get open than he is worth every penny.
