Any details on the contract?

The Bills have til May 8 to assign the 5th year option which will be for 2025 at about $19.076M. The number is big for a DE so giving him the option means you have to give him that for 2025 or you need to extend him sooner. Any chance Beane is trying to do this now where his value is maybe less than it can be after this year? It would provide a more cost controlled/known cost moving forward. https://billswire.usatoday.com/lists/cost-buffalo-bills-fifth-year-option-greg-rousseau-nfl/

These guys think he is super physical...never really saw him as that so much, not that he was not physical just more an all around good safety. https://finheaven.com/threads/poyer-to-miami.382940/

Yeah that truly sucked

His wife made hiim

Yes I think so. Diggs, Shakir and Kincaid are better than many think. You will see a vet probably but at the right price.

Not a popular opinion but there are at least two of us! I would have let his deal play out vs pay him top 5 money. He is a good player, even better person and always available. But not a top 5 player, there is my beef. He had the leverage to push for that with PB's and time missed but the Bills could have just let it play out.

If the Bills are truly just near neutral, they either will not do much else or they need to do some more work which would be restructuring Diggs (boo) or extending Taron Johnson. Johnson wont buy that much though I guess they do more conversion of Allen's deal but I am guessing we will see low one year deals from here on out. On June 1 they will get 10M for Tre but that will be needed for draft class, practice squad and in season injuries. It seems like we are seeing a conservative Beane this year.

They are big beefy tires with a lot of tread left.

I bet the games would come down to a play here or there at the end.

Agree but they need numbers at DT so it could be in addition. I just think we will be looking at lower priced guys from here on out.

especially in the playoff and other big games when this stuff happens all the time. I mean it would be one thing if it happened is like week1 or something.

Do you want to provide your formula for how it should work?

never say never......I cannot see that happening any time in the near future but it could eventually depending on how the organization handles things. He easily deserves a bigger deal at this point but he knew that would be the case. I dont think there is any panic anywhere but it will get redone IMO...I think next offseason.

He will get a reworked deal if he pushes for it and he has the leverage to do it, you don't want Josh unhappy. The one they should have said no to was the last extension for Diggs because Hill got a big deal.

I would say you trade back if he is the only clear first round grade left. Beane has a history of getting to the draft position where there is a guy at more of a need position that meets the value.

The extra one is common

16,000,000,000 cents

Not sure where they are cap wise but I don’t want to restructure Diggs. I think they can gain some more space by extending Johnson and. Maybe a couple other minor moves. I don’t expect much more but as FA goes I expect low end wr safety dt de and ol signings. Kinda like Rapp and puna last year type deals.

Yes

Good contract for a. Rb. Where is the Beamer can’t draft third rounders guy.

The Dolphins are gonna get some comp picks

They needed someone to push that tush

I like Mack.....the Chargers are nuts with those two contracts

I give them credit, the easy thing would be to bend over and give him the bag. He is a good QB, but they recognized what he is not and were willing to move on.
