BuffaloHokie13 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I had estimated $3.5M, but with more cash up front and a lower salary. I wonder how much the incentives are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Solid move. I genuinely think he didn't want to go anywhere else. If the bills moved on from him I think he'd have called it a day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the bills moved on from him I think he'd have called it a day. Yeah, he definitely didn't want to go anywhere. He said in his presser that he planned on this being his last year. I'm sure he didn't want to pull up stakes just for one more year, especially with a wife and school-aged children to consider. Glad he's back and at a good dollar figure for the team.

Freddie's Dead Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 $3M plus incentives is as cheap as ***** for the Bills. In real dollars, he's worth twice that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freddie's Dead Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Inside LB's Edmunds $3+M, PB Blaster $5M, Trevathan $7M. Outside LB's Mingo $3.4M, Suggs $5.1M, Mercilus $6.5M, if I lump in DE's, it only gets worse. Lorax getting 3M. That is a HUGE hometown ***** discount, any way you slice it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royale with Cheese Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Same ole Bills. Paying 10 times too much for a Defensive Tackle trying to play Linebacker. What's next....convert Jason Croom from WR to tight end? Fire McBeane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I’m fine with a separate thread. Easy to capture, and yes he is worth what he will paid. Love the Kyle went out as it was special,but wished he would have given one more year as he could still play well. I’m sure he has other interests with children and his volunteer work. Great that Lorax. Is up for the Walter Payton award. Thanks for sharing OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people are that lazy to read a thread then they deserve to miss out. Right and I mean no disrespect either but see things differently. Even with an edited title, you have to go an search through a bunch of pages until you find the article. Let’s say that he changes the title and posts the link on page 10, but the time we see it, the thread could be up to 20 pages. That means we have to go through a number of pages before we find the article about the extension. It doesn’t have to do with laziness and much as it has to do with accessibility and readibility, Thats why I prefer and entirely different thread. It seems like the people who don’t feel the same are constantly voicing their opinion on the issue. I guess we all have our own individual preferences. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offyourocker Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I am guessing the Bills plan on going after a OLB in free agency. It is really deep at that position and a perfect opportunity to take a step up. Lorax will have a more limited role on the field Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s really only getting better. As crazy at that sounds considering his age, it’s true. He should be our full time starting OLB that pass rushes as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJS Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 He's been one of the biggest surprise players in recent memory. Good for him. Hope he can keep up the good work for another year. I still want a good LB in free agency, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Murica Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 (edited) Good for Zo. He's probably been our most consistent player since the play-off game last year. He's one player I wish was on the Bills for most of his career. Also, like a previous poster stated in this thread, It'd be great to get Thomas Davis in here on a 1- year deal to help Milano and Edmunds along.

His kids were telling their friends in school that mom said they were moving back to Arizona this winter so I was wondering if the Bills were not all-in on him returning............but kid's are notoriously unreliable sources. Now get another LB and let Lorax focus on rushing the passer more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
