Billznut Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 He won’t be back, nor will Glenn. Availability is huge to McBeane. There is going to be tons of turnover this offseason. McBeane will bring in a lot more of “their” guys, free agency and thru the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Murica Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 (edited) Bills are 7-3 when he starts, hopefully he changes his diet or something. The guy is perfect for this system, but he seems to be really fragile. 2017 16 Knee Questionable 2017 10 Hamstring Questionable 2017 9 Hamstring Out 2017 8 Hamstring Out 2017 7 Groin Questionable 2017 5 Groin Questionable Three different kind of injuries listed this year. I really not sure, how he and his agent can spin this. I'd like him back, but he's a zone corner with an injury history, a lot of soft tissue injuries at that.

wppete Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 He’s a great player. Hope he is not very expensive and we sign him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best CBs will be getting $15+ million. A good starting CB is worth around $10 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he's healthy enough to play, Gaines is very good; but I wouldn't call him reliable. I'd like to keep EJ, but wouldn't break the bank for him. Another CB is needed and hopefully we can find a good one in the draft. We're 7-3 when he plays. WHEN he plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebandit27 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 I have his AAV at $11M if he's healthy, which--to me--says he's getting $8.5M AAV I definitely wouldn't give it to him here; not when there will be options like Jimmy Smith and David Amerson in the cap casualty market Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised there isn't more outrage about that considering the ridiculous over the top and exaggerated criticism of Sammy Watkins injuries. I think the Sammy hate around here had more to do about his "lil jobs" comment. People were way too sensitive about that. I was thinking the same thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacklabel Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 He'll get paid somewhere. I hope this regime is creating an atmosphere in which players wanna be here. That seems to be like *the* main focus of the turnaround, creating a locker room with players that have similar mentalities. Do your job, team first, win games, etc. We've seen that they aren't going to have players concerned about personal stats or big money contracts. If Gaines fits that mold and they value him highly enough, hopefully they'll work something out, because as several peeps have pointed out already, the defense is better when he's on the field. His injury issues will be a talking point once negotiations start. If they don't sign him, I'm sure they have a few other guys targeted that could be just as good, if not better. McDermott had two late-round rookies during his final year in Carolina. Early in the year they were getting torched but as the season went on they got better and now this season both of them have played very well in more or less the same system.

Heavy Kevi Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 I would give him a hefty contract... ...with alot of it being contigent on how many games he plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 If he gets $9.7million from someone else I'd say good luck to him. In the $6-8m region I would absolutely bring him back. I was a fan before the Bills traded for him and I said when everyone was focussed on the pick don't sleep on EJ Gaines - this dude can play. Yes, his proneness for injury is a worry, but I think McDermott and co will believe that an offseason in their strength and conditioning programme can assist with that. I'd have no interest in bringing Jordan Matthews back unless he is one of those guys who sits out there until the FA splurge is over and you can get him for a couple of million dollars. I don't think that is likely.... but it isn't impossible either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Now Moment Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Hopefully we resign him but with an injury clause in the contract and incentives for staying on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hopeful but don't have high expectations with him. If he stays and is healthy, makes the Watkins deal look a heck of a lot better. He's a solid corner when healthy and only 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
