Why? The dude is flat out OLD. Why worry about that?

 

 

LOL!    In case you missed it...   

 

2019 :

Campbell--6.5 sacks and 25 quarterback hits

Jerry Hughes--4.5 sacks, 9 quarterback hits

Trent Murphy--5.0  sacks, 9 quarterback hits

 

To put those QB hits in perspective, here are some 2019 comparables:

 

ChandlerJones--26

Aaron Donald--24

JJ Watt--21

Yannick Ngakoue--15

OK so, we've established that you love to overpay for aging vets. Is that the best idea? I mean didn't we just draft the next Aaron Donald? :rolleyes:

One man's "over payment" is another's better team at a managable price.   

 

Trent Murphy says hello, BTW...

I'm allergic to signing 35 year old DTs to 20 million dollar a year contracts. That's not "manageable" by any definition.

And yet cap space isn’t a concern whatsoever..... Bills need to make moves for guys like this one with FA approaching....at times I fear McBeane are too conservative.

He’s better than anything this team has at pass rusher..... come on. 

Don’t we say this every offseason when we lose out on a FA/don’t make a trade?

Why do you care about his contract? 

I see what you’re saying.... even for 1 year I wouldn’t want to give up $15M, all guaranteed. I’d rather save that and give Ngakoue $20M per and not all that guaranteed. Bills don’t need that dude.

Lol.  You're a funny guy...

 

From your own post:

 

"Already signed a 2-year, $27 million deal with Baltimore.  $20 million guaranteed in 2020, just a $7 million hit in 2021..."

 

So yes, they're paying him 20 million this year.

 

How's THAT for comedy?

BREAKING NEWS:  Free Agency and the Draft have NOT happened yet.  Not to mention, trades can happen anytime still too.
 

Geezus, why are so many people dwelling on this as if we missed our ONLY chance to get a DE end this year as if there was no Comparable or better option than 34 year old DE on a 2 year contract?  
 

R.E.L.A.X.

 

Beane and McD have on many occasions stressed how Edge is one of the most important and highest paid positions after the quarterback position.  So I think it’s pretty clear they will prioritize the position and will be focused on finding some good help there this offseason given Shaq seems likely to leave and Hughes is getting up there in age himself.

It’s very likely that Campbell was the best DE option available for the Bills for 2020. And the price to acquire him was quite low. And acquiring him wouldn’t have limited us at all in terms of prioritizing the position in the other ways available to us.

 

That’s why some folks are unhappy.

Ngakoue isn’t a free agent. I’d rather give Patrick Mahomes $40M but alas.

Just like Ziggy was gonna be so key last year too right?  
 

Peyton Manning was elite every year until that one year he wasn’t.  All players hit a cliff.  34 years old for a DE is old.  Their are no assurances he will be nearly as good as you and others are making him out to be next year.  
 

And sorry, some of you are exaggerating him right now in terms of last year.  I get it, people know his name.  But doesn’t mean he’s as elite as some are making him out to be.  
 

He has just TWO double digit sack seasons in his whole career.  His sack totals went down each year in Jax too, including just 6.5 last year after he had his best statistical season as a pro his first year there.

 

He is no where close to the best DE option in this years market nor is his 6.5 sacks hard to find.  And now he will be even a year older and on a new team so good chance he doesn’t even match last years numbers.

 

So IMO, some of you are over reacting to a player who at this stage of his career is being over exaggerated.

It's not just this deal, it's that I believe Baltimore has the best organization in the AFC outside of (now) Buffalo.

Ansah isnt Campbell but you know that. And Campbell is a 5x pro Bowler and All-Pro, his cute double digit sack stat aside.

 

Who is the best DE on the market?

The price to acquire him may have been so low only because the price to extend him was going to be so high. I want the best players, but if they knew he was asking for the moon and we felt it was excessive, then I trust their judgment. I am NOT saying that is the case, just saying they know a lot more about this than we do, and I tend to trust them.

So the Bills signed Kaare Vedvik for nothing to a futures contract. Said Vedvik was traded to the Vikes for a 5th rd pick and the ravens just sent that to Jags. I say the bills won this trade. More witchcraft from Beane. Go Bills!

I hear you, but it’s not like the Ravens don’t know what they are doing either, you know?

We don’t know what we don’t know. The Ravens are indeed a well run organization, but if we felt the financial cost was too high, I appreciate them being able to draw a line and live with it. It must be mighty pricey for him to be let go for just a 5th rounder.

 

I’m sure we have layers of contingency plans. It’s unfortunate, but it’s not the end of the world. We still have options, and likely saved a small fortune we can direct elsewhere. Glass half full.

Good deal for Baltimore and he should help their pass rush... it should also be noted that his numbers have dropped over the past years after his monster breakout season.  

 

Not as bad of a deal for Jacksonville as some of you make it out to be.

 

What it likely means for Jax is that Ngakoue will definitely not want to stay there.  But I wouldn't trade a 1st and give him $22M/year.

He’s 34, they all hit cliffs.  Manning was great in 2014 with 39 TDs and 15 Ints.  In 2105 he had just 9 TDs and 17 ints.  
 

And he played a way less physical position.  34 is pretty old for a DE.

 

And once again he’s coming off his third worst statistical season of his long career.  
 

Is he going to magically find the fountain of youth at 34 in a new system and double his sack totals?  I mean come on, it’s not realistic and it’s more like the will have a similar or worse season.

What a robbery...?

Off course he’s aging but he’s still a menace if you put him in any dline, they could had a 3th round pick for him at least.


If they could have gotten a 3rd pick, they would have.  Not like they turned it down for a 5th lol

Sure, but it’s steal a bad decision by the front office imo they didn’t handle this trade well.

While I’m not throwing a tantrum because we didn’t get him, watch what he does in Baltimore next year. He’s the perfect fit and would’ve been an amazing fit here.  Pay him 17 mill the next 2 years and then let him go after we win a Super Bowl like Baltimore is about to do

Why do people only focus on sacks?   Look at QB hits, TFL and solo tackles.  He's still performing at a high level and makes the Bills DE's look like backups in comparison...

He’s 34, they all hit cliffs.  Manning was great in 2014 with 39 TDs and 15 Ints.  In 2105 he had just 9 TDs and 17 ints.  
 

And he played a way less physical position.  34 is pretty old for a DE.

 

And once again he’s coming off his third worst statistical season of his long career.  
 

Is he going to magically find the fountain of youth at 34 in a new system and double his sack totals?  I mean come on, it’s not realistic and it’s more like the will have a similar or worse season.  

I don’t see how Peyton Manning is relevant.

 

I do see how you dodged the question.

And why didn't the Jags keep him?  They could have extended him to lower his cap hit and all they got was a 5th for him.
