1 year, 1 million
Saw that afterwards - thanks - I think that works for me!

@mikerodak
Bills will sign RB/FB Mike Tolbert, source tells @JordanRaanan.
I don't hate this - hope the money is right.
I expect him to be the "receiving" FB and probably a special teams and short yardage running back.
As he was released - he also should not count against our FA signings - potentially a good sign.
I will give Whaley props on this and hope it works out. Bringing in guys the coach wants - another good sign.

"My maker" are you trying to make this about religion???? I can see why you were cautious.
The only problem with the current contract situation as I understand it, is there isn't really a path to one more year to vindicate. It's move on or commit to at least $30 mil worth of seasons. Not that I don't think it's the right play. After years of horrendous QB play... Trent, Thad, Fritz... not too bad is just sooooo much more watchable.
Btw how rough was this other forum. I bet they even discouraged sarcasm...
Honestly - that is the reason for the Bill's being split I believe.
If you sign the extension - it is at minimum for 2, but more likely 3 years before you can move on.
I think TT has the potential to be a good fit in this offense, but with his limitations- he could also struggle and if you go all in and sign the extension- I personally believe it changes the Bills thought process on drafting a QB.
Therefore this decision has long range impact - so the Bills are going to give it time and see if anything frees up that gives them a chance at comparable play for less money and if not then TT will be back. I think they are playing it right.

Long standing unwritten rule. We do not use fat Bob as a source.
Thank God - another huge positive here.

Captain Munnerlyn seems to be ideal slot CB as he has a history with McDermott and likely not break the bank.
I agree - seems a great fit and has the experience. Will see what the cost is, but I hope it works out.

Is absolutely built to be a perfect 3 tech in McDermotts attacking 43
He is an absolute athletic stud who is 300+ LBs but moves like a Defensive end
Maybe thats because he was a highly touted DE prospect coming out of HS at 245 LBs
He has every pass rush move you could ask for
Speed rush
Bull rush
Spin move
Rip move
Swim move
He is primed for a break out year in an attacking style Defense
I see very good things in Adolphus Washington's future
I agree - I think this defense is made for a rotation of Washington, Dareus, and Williams inside. I think Shaq Lawson and Hughes on the outside as rush DEs will also bring the pressure.
I am a bit worried about depth, but I think the 4-3 is the correct defensive fit for the D-Line and if we can get some help at LB via FA or Draft - I think this Defense will come back around pretty quick.
I'ts funny, watching last years draft when they picked Lawson in the 1st round I thought he'd be a better 43 DE than a 34 OLB. When they picked Ragland in the 2nd I thought he'd make a better 43 MLB. When they drafted Washington in the 3rd I thought he would make a better 43 DT rather than a 34 DE.
A year later and it looks like that's where all three end up.
I think Washington will see plenty of snaps backing up Kyle and some backing up Dareus this season and then win a starting job next season.
I thought the exact same thing - I know they were Rex guys, but I did not think they fitted his defense as much as the 4-3 under Schwartz.

I don't think NRC getting cut has much to do with what they'll do with the outside guys. However I'm a little surprised because to me NRC is a liability in man coverage due to his height but in a zone I thought he'd excel with his ability to cover a lot of ground.
Oh well. I trust the coach knows what kind of players he's looking for to play his defense.
I was thinking about Seymour becoming the slot guy if they fill Gilmore's position on the outside. If not then I think Seymour stays outside and they need to fill the slot with a FA or a draft pick.

Glad you made it over... was wondering where you were!
And another familiar face I was waiting to see... welcome!
Took some time to see what places people were migrating to.
Starting to feel like home.

At first I was surprised that he was cut considering that his contract was not a big hit and he made some plays for the Bills. But considering the scheme change and his 31 missed tackles in 4 seasons (23 of which were in '13 and '14), I get why they let him go. A deep draft at CB plus NRC not being a fit due to size and length I can now see why they let him go. Nickel CBs are utilized a lot to cover run gap responsibilities. Check out this play here:
Excellent - I agree totally. NRC is a player with a ton of heart and showed some nice blitz tendencies, but he also struggled with his size and with the new scheme - I think the slot corner and the safety will be coming up in run support more than we saw with Rex.
-
Never got an infraction on that other place and hope to never get one here.
Mods have it tough especially on an officially sanctioned board and some of those guys like Shaw seemed to genuinely care - others not so much.
Either way glad to see so many migrate over - I looked at several boards before deciding this seemed like the best fit.
-
With the news of Sanborn, Carp being cut and Schmidt being a FA - do the Bills never punt or kick - go for every 4th down and TD - LOL - that would make the WGR afternoon guys fall back in line as fans.
Overall no huge surprises - maybe NRC, but it depends on the plan for #1 CB and if they bring in guys familiar to the defense or not.

Would you trade Tyrod's Option to Cleveland for the 33rd overall pick?
I would make that trade all day long.
The issue is that I believe the Bills are going to see what they can get before making their choice at QB (either keeping TT or signing a FA/cut QB) - so I am not sure that Cleveland will be interested at the right time.
The trade makes sense before the FA market opens, but if Cleveland or Buffalo lands someone - then the trade most likely becomes less important and Cleveland can wait to either try to Sign Tyrod as a FA or Buffalo will keep him.
The Pegula's are bad owners.

Haven't seen many posts on here that are just a hot take mess, but I think this falls in that category.
They kept Doug Whaley and let him actually do his job and select the Head Coaching candidates and then you are surprised they worked together to decide on TT.
I just do not get some takes.
