gjv001 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 It appears from contract size that money wasn't a issue, the Bills liked Addison better than Lawson. Is there something I'm missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussie Joe Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I’m a bit 50/50 on this one... Hope he has got two more years left in him.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there something I'm missing? Missing guaranteed money versus production. Addison got half the guaranteed money and basically a 1-2 year deal we can get out of to pay others versus Shaq that got significantly more Guaranteed money for less production and is stuck for 3 years even if he regresses. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t want to pay Shaq that though.

BuffaloHokie13 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Beane was the one who originally brought Addison to the Panthers from Washington's PS. Our new DL coach worked with him extensively in Carolina. Lots of familiarity all around. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Hughes is younger and I think he went backwards in 2019- hopefully it was injury related but guys can start slowing down around this age.. Anyway... I’m hoping for the best..

BuffaloBills1998 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I’m getting the assumption that Lawson didn’t want to stay in Buffalo and wanted to move on. Like someone on here pointed out he’s the last of the Whaley/Rex guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addison could regress as all players can. Worst case scenario it's not a huge guarantee or something they can't escape from. This concern is also mitigated by McBs familiarity and the players consistent high level production and lack of injury. For McB this isn't the high risk that fans are seeing.

Utah John Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Lawson wasn't exactly a bust, but until his last year he didn't meet expectations. Even in his last year, he was never dominant. Seems like a good guy, and I'll wish him well, until he puts on that horrible jersey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
