Jordan Phillips signs with Arizona

[No_Matter_What 264]

Are the numbers official or you guys are just guessing 30/3?

I loved his fire last year, but with the other Phillips—Harrison—coming back, it would’ve been a lot less playing time. 

[C.Biscuit97 5,594]

My all my questions about this regime on the offensive side, they made a lot of former “busts” a lot of money.  Good for those guys for getting paid but they are very replaceable. 
 

but on paper, it’s an awesome offseason for Arizona.

I never had the change to wear the Phillips jersey my son bought me for my birthday in January. Dang...

Good signing for them. They have the money, the need, and the available playing time for him to try and shine. And thank goodness he’s not in the afc East I would hate to see him hyped twice a year to play us

We play Arizona this year.

[Chicken Boo 969]

AZ is putting together a rather good team.

Lol I can handle one hyped up game from him every few years. 
I will 110% be watching the Phillips vs Feliciano matchup

Official per Schefter (but he didn't tweet it for some reason).

Yea. Arizona is going to be a tough out this year. I think Murray is going to be a good one.

With Star, H Phillips and Oliver they need a 4th DT to play 30-40% of the plays. That's where you get a player like Cory Liuget for a lower price, a $1.5-2 million guy. And whoever you get will have a particular strength (vs. run or pass) and you strategically play them in the situations to take advantage of their strengths.

 

I think they did that with Jordan Phillips and maximized his results and that led to both good productivity on the field and salary requirements that made it wrong to keep him, because now he's being paid to be an above average all around contributor and he will not do that in AZ (as many have pointed out he is not good vs. the run). 

 

This is an example of good cap management.

Give me Reader and an OT and I'll be happy with what they accomplished in FA.

[mattynh 661]

I would have done that deal.

[SCBills 2,797]

Happy for Phillips but I don't even know that i'd offer close to that if i'm Buffalo.  He may be worth it for some other teams, but not when we have Oliver and Harry as young DT's in need of playing time.

[VADC Bills 65]

Maybe should have kept him especially when you look at the chemistry he and Oliver developed.

Addison is in decline and Klein has peeked into a solid mediocre player.

Reader can offset the loss. Though Beane tends to lean toward ex-panthers.

Holy ***** No way in hell Beane would give him that money 

Yup, you'd have to play for the Panthers before he'd give you that kind of money 😂

Jordan Phillips is the perfect example of what Sean Mcdermott echoed at the combine, "come to buffalo to be the best version of yourself". Phillips went from being a bust/cancer in locker room arguing with the head coach in Miami to being a better teammate, more productive player in Buffalo which in turn got him this new contract!

 

He tweeted his way out of Buffalo. 

[GoBills808 3,992]

Not a scheme fit here

 

certainly not at that price

[DrDare 101]

oh no!

 

would rather have Phillips than Adilson

 

also its not a good message to the team to not retain anyone

 

All around bad news

[Oregonbillsfan 5]

We definitely should have kept him for this price.  We didn't need to lose both him and Shaq.  We should have kept one of them.  I would have preferred to keep Phillips.

Beane will find a replacement, and add.

 

He's already here, Harrison Phillips.  So you need a #4 guy
