Bills internal discussions about Trey Flowers - DE

I don't mind the player, but at that type of money I'd much rather see a huge investment in the OL. If we feel we need a pass rusher we can use pick #9 on it, there should be several good options available.

You can say that about every high priced guy.  So now we are going to complain if they pay that price?

 

cry when they don’t sign anyone...

cry when they do cause it was too much money..

 

this is place is unbelievable sometimes 

OK, way to turn my post into a comparison against everyone else's opinions on this board.

cry when they don't sign anyone... Please show me where I did this

cry when they do cause it was too much money.. Again, please show where I did this

SMH... yes indeed this place can be unbelievable.....

If the Bills were to sign Flowers,  either Murphy or Lawson would be out this year and the other one out the year after.  My guess is if Flowers is picked up, they'd keep Murphy around as a rotational guy and look to trade Shaq now while he still has some draft capital value.

 

 

I don't feel that moving on from any of them is necessary.    At least not until TC when you know who is healthy.   Murphy has a high ceiling.......if he gets his burst back he has a great narrow frame to get small in traffic as a rusher and the long arms to reach the football and force fumbles.   Lotulelei is kind of a bum whose next step could be off the cliff entirely and neither of the Phillips has strung together one good full season yet so having already cross trained Shaq to play some DT it makes sense to hold him unless the draft capital is right(which it won't be).

I see that side of it as well and I do agree that it would be likely that at least one of the players would remain for 2019.   But from observing Beane, if they were to land an upper tier DE like Flowers and having over $8M on the books for Murphy and having to shell out another $10.5M for Hughes and $10M for Shaq plus and possibly most importantly they would lose draft capital by not trading Shaq at this time, I think it's probably likely that Shaq goes.

 

On the other hand they may just would want to retain all 4 of them for this upcoming season and see if either Shaq or Murphy emerges from the level of play they have been playing.   Shaq is an ok player and has progressively gotten better and as you stated Murphy is intriguing with his long reach.   If he could stay healthy he could find his groove and put up a solid season.
