Punching Bag Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Bills have 3 EFAs (Matt Darr, Deon Lacey and Eddie Yarbrough) and a RFA (Logan Thomas) who they have rights to. We have had EFAs grabbed before by other teams. Should they be all given offers and at what level? All were UDFAs so I think if they are not given high level offers Bills get nothing if someone else signs them. Should we keep Logan Thomas? IMO Thomas and Yarbrough are priorities and the others should be given minimum contracts for camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Maybe Yarbrough, but I expect us to add another DE which could potentially be his spot. The rest are bums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I don’t know. Given we need to bring 90 to camp I’d keep Yarbrough and LT for now - LT given the state of the TE position in general and because EY has performed decent at times in a depth role. I hope neither makes the 53 though not because I don’t want them to have jobs because I like them both but I hope to have better players beat them out. Lacy and Darr? That’s tough.

First of all, referring to Logan Thomas as LT just doesn't feel right. As for resigning the aforementioned guys, meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuco Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 You don't have levels for EFAs. EFA is actually ERFA. That stands for Exclusive Rights Free Agent. All you have to do is tender them the league minimum for one year and you have exclusive negotiating rights. The only reason you wouldn't do that is if you were certain you didn't want them back.

Honestly they might as well tender all the ERFAs for league min. unless as you said they really don’t like them. They may not make the 53 but we need 90 guys for camp. Thomas is an RFA so i believe they would need to either tender him at a certain round and see if anyone gives him an offer sheet, or choose to not tender him at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreggTX Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 All would be very easy to replace, so just offer them the minimum or let 'em walk and keep day 3 draftees or UDFA's to replace them. We need to replace Darr anyways. D raft Jack Bailey (P, Stanford) or Mitch Wishnowsky (P, Utah) in the 6th or 7th. As far as the others are concerned, I'd like to keep Logan Thomas as a 3rd TE and emergency QB. We should use him as a holder for the FG team since he can also throw and run and has relatively good hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillies Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Yarbrough has had some nice moments and I like his attitude. Logan hasn't really done enough, but I want to like him - he did pretty good in a couple games and seems like he's at least passionate about the game (unlike Clay was). I doubt other teams would take them, and if they do, so be it. If they don't, invite them back to camp and go from there. Lacey/Darr... don't care. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan in Cleveland Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Bring back Yarborough. Let the rest walk including Thomas. He's terrible. He had plenty of chances to get better. He is useless as a blocker and can't get open. Experiment over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whatdrought Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I’ve been pissed at Logan Thomas since the drop in the first Miami game (or was it the Jets game?). im fine if he’s a camp body, but if there’s a chance for him to catch a critical pass in a real game this year, the staff did a piss poor job rebuilding that room.

Blokestradamus Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 (edited) Matt Darr should be fired out of a cannon. 7 hours ago, GreggTX said: We need to replace Darr anyways.

RoyBatty is alive Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Deon Lacey is now signed and as for the rest of them, ehh. Really disappointed in Logan Thomas, this versatilityi as QB is enticing but he just isnt that good at TE. Eddie Yarbrough, i love the guy but his size & lack of athleticism cant be overcome.
