When Baltimore did it, Flacco was playing on a level way higher than Tyrod is capable of playing at. I'll give you Trent Dilfer, but the odds of winning a Superbowl via the "great defense" route are slim. Mack doesn't change this team's win/loss column enough to justify the cost. I'd have to disagree. You add Mack, you have the makings of a perhaps legendary defense. combine that with the drafting of offensive weapons in rounds 2-7 next draft, plus other off season OL additions and you add a few wins. You potentially limit the other team to 10 points or fewer per game. Mack, Edmunds and Milano is a scary trio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sick of seeing post-game footage where opposing QB's jerseys look like the end result of a detergent commercial. Not sure I'd pay that much, but you underestimate what Mack brings to the table.

He is/was in Buffalo working out not too long ago so I would guess he wouldn't be too opposed. I think he denied any interview requests from the local Buffalo media and then wouldn't answer any questions as to why. Also wouldn't answer any questions about Buffalo. And it was kinda strange behavior because he's played the Bills before and never had any issue speaking the Buffalo media. But I'm sure he still has friends and whatnot here so, hey ya never know, could be a chance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're bills fans. We're expecting Mack, whether or not it makes any sense. And while I agree that it seems unrealistic that we would get Mack, I don't agree with your reasoning. We haven't seen the front office spend any money yet because they've been gutting the team down to the studs and rebuilding it their way. This incurred a lot of dead cap that they knew they would need to eat. Now is the time to spend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

george c Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 (edited) 17 hours ago, Augie said: I respect your point, but mack turned 27 a few months ago. He’s in his prime. Rather than young, maybe “cheap” is more appropriate. I can respect that in a year deep in DLine. GREAT also appeals to me, so I guess it depends upon the cost. A 7th in 2022 works for me. ?. I’m glad we pay people to do this better than I could. Agree. Hitting on the draft and getting the 5 years of cheap production is how teams must build in today's NFL. 27 years old is prime, yes, but after prime comes age, which means we missed out on this youth. Not to say he isn't great, and would be a great addition, I just wouldn't give him the kind of contract that haunts teams once a player starts to age. Beane may see it differently, but I doubt they will pen him to a monster contract. Edited August 8, 2018 by George C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
