bigK14094 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Interesting that he didn't measure up in Miami.......and did great here. I think things were really screwed up down in Miami for them to miss like that. Bills and JP did each other good, and I wish him the best going forward...where ever he lands.

BuffaloRebound Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Wouldn’t surprise me to see him back if Bills don’t land Reader. It only takes one, but still can’t see anyone breaking the bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IgotBILLStopay Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 We will see where this goes - I still feel he can be had by the Bills for 4 year 38-42 mill after he tests the market. And, that was a classy, deep felt post that did endear him to me a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish him luck elsewhere. Agreed. It's not that he serve a valuable purpose to a team, but there are several reasons why he's no longer a great fit for the Bills at the price he's likely to command in free agency.

Alphadawg7 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 No matter what happens, I appreciate all that Jordan gave here. Nothing but a class act and I will root for his success anywhere he goes if its not here (except when we play him of course). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a great fit in that we have a rotational line and need another talented 3-tech DT to rotate with Ed. Ed is on his rookie contract, as is our QB, and we have $80M in cap space, so plenty of room to sign JP. There is no better place on the roster to invest resources, and even over-invest, than in the trenches. And our OL is pretty much set. What are your several reasons against that I'm not thinking of?

KOKBILLS Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I'm still not 100% convinced JP is going to see the market he expects...If he does he earned it...But we'll see soon enough...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phillips has been a liability in run defense. Ed Oliver, though much smaller, has proven to have a better skill set as a run defender along with his upside as an interior pass rusher. Harrison Phillips will return to active status in 2020. He is going to be primarily a 1 tech, but he is becoming more explosive and developing a skill set as a 3 tech. I think the Bills can sign a good complementary 3 tech in free agency for less than Jordan Phillips' price. They have a significant percentage of the cap tied up in the D-line now. If they are going to spend money to retain a free agent defensive lineman, Shaq Lawson is a better run defender and is developing as a pass rusher, and he can play outside, or move inside on passing downs.

947 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I don't expect Phillips to get much interest from other teams during the 1st wave of FA, I bet it'll be days before this plays out. I'd love him back on a Spain-type deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I'm a little surprised that the Bills could let both Shaq and Phillips go. I was betting one or the other would be signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
