RPbillsfan Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 A couple of weeks ago there was some discussion on the Bills in negotiation with Jordan Phillips. Then the Bills signed Lorenzo to a one year deal and I've heard nothing else on Phillips. Hoping somebody has some updated information.

BillyWhiteShows Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I wondered the same thing myself. I’m kind of getting the impression they are letting him test the market but it’s just a guess. You would think that if he were a priority (like Alexander) they would’ve come to a deal by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 he wants more than we’re offering. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddyjj Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 (edited) Different situations. Zo, at 35, knows he only had 1 year left in him and opted to stay here as a C and team leader. Same D as last 2 years too. Jordan Philips is 26 and looking to get a multi-year deal to set him up for life. Do the Ozzie Newsome thing - tell him to hit FA and bring back his best deal on the street to OBD and then the Bills will decide to match or not. IMHO he won't generate a ton of interest and the 2 sides will meet on common ground here. I doubt we have made any offers to date.

JoshAllenHasBigHands Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 He wasn't here that long. There really isn't much incentive for him to hang around other than the possibility of a big pay day. If he isn't getting it now, there really is no reason for him not to test free agency. Odds are he will get a handsome offer. I'd be surprised if Beane commits to a big pay day for him. I'd love to have Phillips back, but its a bit of a long shot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangarang Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Meh he wasn’t all that impressive so if he wants to test FA then fine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well there are people who follow the team really close and post news breaking articles a few minutes after they are released. So maybe that’s why. Most of use are speculating or guessing, but that’s why these kind of forums are for 2 hours ago, freddyjj said: Different situations.

My guess is that the Bills made him a modest offer and he wants to see if he can do better on the FA market Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 He played really well for the most part here. I did wonder if there are some character concerns that are holding things up. He seems like the type of guy that would make you nervous about giving a long term deal to. Teams don’t just cut 2nd rounders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColoradoBills Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Teams can't talk to other teams FAs until March 11th. Plenty of time for the Bills and Phillips agent to get something done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEN-CAL17 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 No Phillips, Bills have to draft DT at #9. Oliver or Simmons.... possibly Gray. Honestly I see all 3 gone by 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
