billsfan89 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 This is a very good signing. Addressing the pass rush with the loss of Shaq and a possible need there anyway. The deal unlike Shaq's deal is very easy to get out of after 1 season and is paying Addison for the production he is likely to do as opposed to speculating a significant improvement in production to justify a large free agency contract. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how much he will actually be able to produce. I could see the concern if his numbers went down the last few years but they haven't his actually been quite consistent getting 9.0 plus sacks the last four seasons.

Really took a step forward last year and still has room to improve. I'm guessing he just wanted out after his 5th year was declined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ngbills Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I find it interesting that the approach seems to be not wanting to pay for the big $ free agents. However we are consistently willing to so spend $5-10M on guys. Are you better off with four guys averaging $8M for $32M or one star for $20M and three $4M per players?

With the way these guys train nowadays not like it used to be. Julius Peppers played until he was 38. Not saying Addison is Peppers but he could be at the very least similar to what the Bills had in Jim Jeffcoat when Bruce and Phil were starting.

Other than Clowney I guess. They did sign the highest paid center last year. I see what you are saying just not sure it’s an actual approach.

Hughes deal can be gotten out of after this year with little impact. Murphy comes off the books. The rest are rookie deals. Plenty of DE’s have been productive into their mid 30’s. Jon Abraham comes to mind. Maybe Addison turns into a pure pass rusher in 2021 or 2022 if he is still in Buffalo.
