DanInUticaTampa Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Glad they got this deal done. I like him much better than Star who we are overpaying at this point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted March 5, 2019 Author Share Posted March 5, 2019 The longer it takes for the contract terms to come out, typically the smaller the deal. Agents usually like to get any impressive sounding numbers out right away to the Schefters of the world so they can broadcast it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DT or DE or doesn't matter? I think Edge over DT...but both are needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsVet Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 3 hours ago, HappyDays said: I would certainly hope so. Jordan Phillips isn't a locked in starter which is why he got a 1 year deal. It's a one year audition for him hitting UFA next season. And, his agent wisely understood this was the best situation to get a chance to prove it (little DT depth) and be in position to hit UFA next off-season.

Dopey Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 I hope Harrison Phillips gets a chance to start in Kyle's place. He has a year under his belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillsGospel Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Solid resign, get a pass rusher in round 1, some OL in FA a solid RD 2 WR and we're Golden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Joe Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Whatever else they do at DE or even DT this offseason has nothing to do with signing Phillips for another year... I see this as like the Spencer Long signing.. they will still acquire who they like in FA or the draft.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerJ Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 With Phillips, Phillips and Lotulelei, the Bills have three solid rotational guys. They need one more to complete the set. A star would be great, but probably not essential. If they have a chance to draft Quinnen Williams, go for it, but there are a bunch of solid DTs in the draft.

ndirish1978 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 7 hours ago, Rc2catch said: I would disagree kinda. Murphy is an excellent rusher.... when he’s healthy. That’s the big question mark. He was basically hurt all last season which sucks. Also don’t forget Lorax may be rushing a little more if they add some more linebackers which I’m sure they will. Hughes is our only top-end talent and this is our contract year. Murphy is decent when healthy, which he hasn't been in 2 years. We lost Kyle this year and don't have a legit 3-technique besides Phillips. Our line needs an infusion of youth or else we are going to be in trouble 2020.

CommonCents Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 A one year deal is bad in some situations and good in others. This is a good situation. Keep him focused and motivated. Beane/McD have a huge offseason on their plate, I hope they nail it. They have shown that they understand the business side of things when handling players. Now they just need to nail their evaluations and avoid anymore Peterman like mistakes. Most exciting offseason in awhile. #getjoshhelp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really feel like our D is all set for one more year if we make absolutely no more additions. Get our damn offense up to par, please!!! Don’t forget we lost meatball (that will hurt) not only as far as production on the field but as a true leader of that D , I’m sure the defense will be addressed wouldn’t surprise if it was with our day one pick , ( of course) its all depends what we do in the free agency, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hemma Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 I don't subscribe to PFF, but according to Rodak: "Pro Football Focus ranked Phillips as its 108th out of 112 graded interior defensive lineman last season." PFF isn't the end all, for sure, but I think Beane still has more work to do on the DL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted March 5, 2019 Author Share Posted March 5, 2019 The starting 3tech is a very important part of this defense and I think they could take that guy in the 1st (Oliver/Wilkins). But they also like to rotate on the DL and that’s why this is a really important signing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PFF isn't the end all, for sure, but I think Beane still has more work to do on the DL. Agree. I continue to view PFF with skepticism, especially as it relates to creating objective stats based upon highly subjective interpretation of facts (i.e., OL/DL grading). As Eric Wood had put succinctly previously, it difficult for anyone other than the coaching staff to grade offensive line play as you don't know what the assignments, etc. are on any given play.

BuffaloHokie13 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 1 year with a greater role in the rotation means he can reset his market next year if he wants. Interested to see the numbers, I thought he'd get 3 years back in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
