ngbills Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 To add: Yannick did not have a good year last year. The previous year he had 51 QB pressures - that was 4th in league. Up there with JJ Watt and Aaron Donald. That is more than Mario the last two years combined. Lawson led the Bills last year with 28. That is an elite pass rusher and what this team needs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn't Bill O'Brien. I would love to add a DE like Ngakoue if they can get the numbers right. If you cut Murphy or trade him you clear a lot of cap space that can go towards Ngakoue's contract. Addison is 32 and obviously isn't the long term answer here. This Bills roster is on the cusp of being a legit Super Bowl contender. An elite DE may be the final piece of the puzzle. This is why you manage your cap wisely so that when an opportunity like this comes up you have the means to take advantage of it. This move might be the one that puts this team over the top. I'm all for it if Beane can make it happen. I was told backup QB was the last piece of our puzzle. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were told a solid back up QB is insurance to protect a team's chances during a championship run. I would take issue with you for deliberately misrepresenting my position but I think it was probably just an honest mistake on your part, more of a reading comprehension issue. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midwest1981 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Will be really interesting to find out where Yannick lands. In my mind I went through all 32 teams to find a hit factoring in the contracting cap (and which teams are already screwed in 2021, like the Eagles and Saints) and who has a need. Seattle would’ve made sense until they traded most of their high picks the next two drafts to the Jets for Jamal. Tennessee makes the most sense. But that’s an intra-divisional trade. Not that Jacksonville really cares where they finish this year. The Rams can always be counted on to make an irresponsible move they can’t really afford, cap and draft pick consequences be damned. Some have guessed Baltimore but that’s a middle finger to Judon, another franchised pass-rusher looking for his payday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 I'll say Seattle. They're looking for a replacement for Clowney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malazan Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Unfortunately, Joe Douglas seems competent so I doubt he makes this move. Just signing this guy to the massive contract he'll get is a mistake let alone any draft capital used for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Riverside Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 The question is.....does he instantly become our best pass rusher? If that answer is yes....then I would give up a 2nd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rc2catch Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 5 hours ago, Just Joshin' said: A 2nd for a 1 year rental is high. Since you can not sign him to a new contract, you may need to let him go or sign him to a second, expensive tag next year. Seems like high risk, moderate reward. We’re in win now mode right? If he comes here on a one year deal, has 10+ sacks and helps the team go on a deep playoff possible Super Bowl run I would say a 2nd round pick is worth the one year rental. I don’t personally think yannick is a game changer or worth the 100 million he wants, I also don’t think the team needs him to make a deep run. But I couldn’t hate if they gave up a 2 and had him for this one season to make a push. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
