YoloinOhio Posted January 3, 2019 Author Share Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) Quote “We’ve already been in negotiations. We’ve been keeping it under wraps. The word on the street is the Bills are looking for a new 3-technique, and I think I’m the best candidate. So we’ll see,” Phillips said.

jrober38 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 No brainer. He's young, and adds toughness and size to our interior line rotation. We just need a 3-technique who can rush the passer now, although Shaq Lawson showed last week kicking him inside on passing downs could be an option. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebandit27 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Good. I'd try to make it a 2-year deal if I could. Give him a decent bump to $3.5-$4M per and allow him the ability to hit the market again before he's 30. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wppete Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 A quote from Phillips after cleaning out his locker.... “Buffalo’s great. I love the atmosphere,” Phillips said. “Wherever I wind up, I won’t go anywhere with a bad fan base. The fan base is a big part of my game, and I haven’t seen anything better than the Bills Mafia.” 23 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocCityRoller Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Good, get this stuff done early and know what you have going into FA and the draft. The D solidified after he was signed. Still room to improve on the unit as a whole, but a good pick up, and a piece of the puzzle. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEra Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I’m all for it. Especially with the loss of Kyle, we still need one more guy to go with Star and the 2 Phillips kids. I can see him costing us a game or two with his over excitement penalties but that’s fine with me. I like the guy a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmsmystic Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 He made a nice impression as a rotation player, plus he seems to bring a lot of energy and enthusiasm. Between him, Harrison and Star, it's a nice 3 way DT rotation and we wouldn't need to use the 1st rounder for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffAlone Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 He outplayed Harry the Horrible. Probably at a price comparable to a 3rd rd pick. Therefore, excellent opportunity to lock him up for a few years Would be a solid, judicial signing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KellyToTasker Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 The divisional games with the Jets and Dolphins are like me and my brother growing up...Whoever is more pissed is the one that gets the upper hand. We need guys like Phillips to play with a professional level of nasty.....Just to smack a guy in the mouth (not literally) when needed to keep order on the field. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 If penalties are a big concern, maybe we can assign him an on and off field mentor. Is Jerry available? ? Half kidding, because Jerry has actually shown improvement there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leh-nerd skin-erd Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 This kid is a former 2nd round draft choice who plays hard, loves the energy of the team and the fans, and the coaches want him here. He showed us some good stuff, we should all be hoping they can work out a deal to keep him here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat68 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 With Williams retire Buffalo needs a guy inside who can penetrate and make plays. Phillips flashed that ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His rookie contract averaged just over $1 million/year and this year he was waived. He's a nice rotational player and I am glad the Bills are trying to re-sign him, but he's a $2 million/year player at the most, I could see a 2 year, $3.5 million deal that is $1 million per year in salary and a $1.5 million signing bonus, or 3 year, $5.5 million with salaries of $1M, $1.25M & $1.25M with a $2 million signing bonus.

Not true - go to Spotrac and check out how teams allocate $ to DL. Invariably, the top 4 get almost all the money, and player #4 is around $2-3 million. All the rest, the rotational players, are almost always under $1 million, a few in the $1-2 million range. There are a few exceptions but if you click on the teams spending $25-32 million on DL you will find this distribution to be the norm. The Bills best 4 players on DL returning in '19 are Hughes, Murphy, Lawson and Star L. The two Phillips are next and will be in the $1-2 million slots. Jordan Phillips is not worth $3-4 million and they will not spend that much, nor will they have to on a guy who was waived this year. Start spending that kind of cash on backups and the Bills will end up back in cap jail in 3 years. The Bills can take a firm stance on this guy he is not getting a sniff in first free agency wave he is the prototypical 2nd or 3rd wave that has to settle for modest money.

DJB Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Good . Just like i said they should. Once he signs no chance we go DT in round 1. Phillips, Star, Harry with Lawson occasionally on passing downs makes DT not a draft target in round 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
