    So, sorry KJ, just saw you’re thread and good choice.  Now if you factor in his existing last year in 2020 contract with a four year $52 mil. contract which breaks down to $13 mil. for those four years.  Considering on the Dawkins marathon thread myself included, people added this year for Dawkins to his $60 mil., and divided over 5 years which is smart, instead of $15 mil. people were saying it’s actually $12.2 mil. for the average over five years.

     

    Using the market value on Spotrac which they are a lot smarter than us have him valued at a $13 mil. avg./yr.  Using that logic, an avg. per year for a $52 mil. Four year is actually five years at 1.8 mil./yr. for five years.  Well that just eats out the 23rd paid linebacker Joe Schubert of Jax.  Given the highest paid LB’s are actually edge rushers, this is a very fair contract.  He’s not just average because we picked him up in the 5th round.  He has played outstanding for a weak side back, is sideline to sideline, has a nose for the ball, if he doesn’t pick them off, he’s good at breaking them up, and he is fast enough to cover athletic TE’s.

     

    He and Edmunds play almost every defensive snap, and getting lucky with that pick is not easy.  He’s not just a guy.  He and Edmunds are staples to our defense.  They are young, athletic, can be in our system for a minimum of eight years or longer.  Now that is a big piece to creating and holding onto a championship defense.  White will be here we hope just as long, the young line will keep growing like Oliver, and Epenesa, and hopefully Harry.

     

    So those are keys to this defense.  Besides in 2021, Poyer will be 30 and his contract is up.  He’s worth an extension although maybe shorter like three years.  Hyde is also 29 now, but we don’t have to extend until he’s 31 in 2022.  He’s also worth I’m guessing if he doesn’t drop off probably two to three years.  That really minimizes other extensions on the defense so our drafts for defense can focus on CB, DL, and probably a third LB.  I love as Beane seems like he has another five year plan for us.  On offense in the next two years we’ll need Lineman, And another TE.

    Poyer got paid this year. I like Milano but I wouldn’t shell out 13 million a year for the guy, especially since the cap won’t be as high as we used to think.

    Cam is 31 ...he is literally entering his prime right now. 

     

    by the time the pre-season starts he will have a full year of recovery, longer than he has ever had. A resurgent Cam with that patriots defense is an instant SB contender. 


    31 is definitely not entering their prime for any athlete.

     

  3. The Bills still have to prove they can beat the Pats. But if there is a coach who would know how to defend Cam it’s McDermott. The Pats also have very few weapons on the offensive side of the ball. I think Cam will start, but he is along way past the Cam of 2015.

    Tomlin was fined $100k for trying to trip Jacoby Jones during the Thanksgiving night game several years back. He probably should have been suspended, as well, but wasn't.  I don't think an unsportsmanlike penalty was even called on him during the game like it should have been.  He did get off easy, much like the Patriots do.


    That play was total BS. Prevented a touchdown cuz his team let a dude breakaway.

    Epenesa, Moss, Fromm, Bass. So 4.

     

    I dont think Davis is a lock, simply due to the lack of rookie camps and OTAs. It will be tougher on rookies who need to learn the offense and build chemistry.

     

    I think Davis and Hodgens make the PS.

     

    Jackson gets released.

    I don’t think they would have drafted Davis in the 4th if they didn’t plan on keeping him on the roster. Guess we will have to see how he compares to Foster.

    Darnold is only 22 and has had to deal with a bad oline, non-existent running game, and mediocre pass catchers. Add that to the fact that he got sick with Mono last year right before season started. I think the fact that he’s kept his head above water is a positive. 

     

    It’s certainly reasonable to think the kid can get a lot better.  Will he?  We shall see. 


    Darnold is the new Jay Cutler in terms of caring about the game.

    Just thinking:

    Hughes-Jefferson-Oliver-Addison

    Epenesa-Phillips-Star-Murphy

    Vernon Butler and Darryl Johnson as reserves.... that’s one heck of a rotation!

     


    They’re not paying Butler to be a reserve. They’re paying him to be in the rotation. With Jefferson’s ability to play some end, I think Murphy is going to have a tough time making the team.
