YoloinOhio Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 (edited) OG Ike Boettger is an RFA in 2021. Age 26, UDFA. he has played in 12 games for the Bills at LG, with 7 starts. He played 54% of snaps in 2020 and allowed 28 pressures, had 3 penalties, 0 sacks.

NewEra Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Resign him. Tender depends on if they plan on him being a starter. Preferably the lower tender as a backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try to sign him to a 2 year deal with mostly signing bonus and nearly no salary to limit his 2021 cap hit, but give him money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlbillsfan1975 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 He should be brought back with Feliciano and let Cody fight for a spot. You know McDermott could care less where a player was drafted. This next year is Cody’s make or break. Ike is a great backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Joe Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 (edited) He gets some love here ... but I’m not so sure about him... Bring him back as cheap as they can and for as little a signing bonus as they can manage .. He is more than likely competing for a spot on the team this year as I expect them to draft a G and Ford is back..

ColoradoBills Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Re-sign but the poll made me pick a tender choice so I picked RoFR. I don't think the Bills are "tendering" every RFA they would like to sign. I hope they sign Ike to a 3 year "show me" contract. $2-3M guaranteed with bigger money in the 3rd year not guaranteed. Fair for both sides. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freddie's Dead Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I'm definitely resigning Boettger. We have to do better at guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCbillsfan Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Do not tender him. Let him become a free agent and then try to sign him. Similar to what they did with McKenzie last year. Hes a backup. Need to upgrade LG spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan in Cleveland Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 No tender. Ok to bring him back on a small 2 year deal. Otherwise let him walk. 1 hour ago, Freddie's Dead said: I'm definitely resigning Boettger. We have to do better at guard.

Draconator Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I voted to let him walk. Good player, but I think we can upgrade via draft/FA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADOLBILZ Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Right of first refusal. I wouldn't be surprised if Boettger ended up as the Bills center if Feliciano walks and Morse is cut or gets concussed out of action again next season. He's reportedly cross-trained to help anywhere.

machine gun kelly Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Boettger has been a project fir this team for awhile, and until we draft or sign someone else, he’s not expensive. I liken him to Teller. Teller is 26 and although developed by us, he’s producing for Cleveland. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Definitely bring him back. I'd do it at the second round tender, but I'd be open to discussing a longer term deal too. Something like 3 years, $8/9m with $3m of it a signing bonus split over the three years and his first year salary guaranteed as well which means you are paying him more now than the 2nd round tag pays him in terms of cash but reduces the cap hit in 2021. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoName Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Not a fan of Ike. I'd bring him back as a back up and it would have to be no more than 2.5 per season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Otreply Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Re-sign, RFR, starter in a pinch, but he is a good back up/depth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted February 6, 2021 Author Share Posted February 6, 2021 (edited) I agree that an upgrade is ideal, but I voted for the 2nd round render. There is a shortage of OL talent in the league and he’s experienced depth who knows the scheme, played well at times, even if we are able to replace him with someone better, which is no guarantee. The 2nd rd tender isn’t that much more then the cheapest one but would deter offer sheets. Edited February 6, 2021 by YoloinOhio 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartacus Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 (edited) Bills will resign Ike he is 3rd round talent who fell out of draft due to injury in college in addition to having worked thru a lot of adversity- high on McD's attribute list unlikely that a 3rd round pick in 2021 is going to do better this year he is beng developed and will get stronger and has NFL experience Edited February 6, 2021 by spartacus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreggTX Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 He's not even a capable backup. We should add an OL on draft day 1 or 2. Our weakness at G is the primary reason our run game struggled at times. Both Singletary and Moss ranked high in yards after initial contact. Our OL is still a work in progress. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
