I look forward to the Bills enjoying the Patriots cycle of players looking good for the Bills getting signed to inflated deals with other teams and then 2 years later being cut from those deals and signing back with the Bills on the cheap and producing at a high level again. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can think of two games in 2019 where he made critical big time plays that may have been the difference in games. He also was the teams most consistent pass rusher. He was a flawed player because I do think his play contributed to the bad run defense in the middle of 2019. But once McD adjusted around his freelancing it worked really well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way can I sit here and tell you he was worth 12 million a year, but he is a better football player than both Vernon Butler and Quinton Jefferson.

Inigo Montoya Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 It would have been great to get Watt, but not at the numbers he signed for at Arizona. I'm glad Beane passed, that contract was just too much money for this team in its current cap situation. I'd rather we use some of that money to resign Darryl Williams and keep JA protected. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nihilarian Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I'm actually very happy Buffalo didn't pay what Arizona gave Watt. So, it will allow Buffalo more choices when the expensive players start dropping like flies after being cut. Also, since he stated he is much happier in the warmer weather...

Alphadawg7 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 No reason people should crap on Jordan, he was cheering for and rooting for the Bills all playoffs. He loves Buffalo and the fan base. He's not a hater just because he's excited about Watt joining his team. And as a non- biased Bills fan...I will say 3 things: One, we couldn't afford to pay him and it was right decision not to pay him. Two, he played his ass off here and loved every minute of being a Bill and loved the fans. Three, our defensive line was not as good without him. Doesn't mean he isn't replaceable, and honestly losing Star hurt our DL more, but its not like we can say we got better with him leaving either. So wish the man well, glad he got the contract he wanted after working hard here for the Bills and the fans. He wanted to stay, but we just couldn't pay him what he was going to get from AZ. 9 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me he was a wild card. He could blow up a play and manhandle anyone in front of him, or he could disappear for long stretches. Given how solid the rest of the D was, on the balance he was a positive contributor though, and had to be accounted for. There isn't really anyone on the DL now that commands that much respect. I'm a fan of Oliver but without some more beef and strength around him, he's not going to be able to make the sort of impact we need. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, two wrongs don’t make a right. Maybe the Packers fans were harassing other Cardinals players like crazy and I didn’t hear about it - that’s totally plausible. But if so, that’s a bad look for their fans, too. I don’t know if our fan base is the worst or the best or where in between, but I know that we collectively have room for improvement.

Russ Wilson is fanning the flames of trade talks and frankly, the 2nd half of the season the Seasnakes offense looked ordinary and their defense seemed questionable all year.

BarleyNY Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 No need for anyone to be butthurt about it all. I don't blame Watt for taking the guaranteed money, but FA has a lot of Edge talent this season. For the kind of money Watt got I’d rather pay a DE that is younger and will be around for a lot longer. There’s obviously a changing of the guard in process for the Bills at DE and I’d rather acquire a player who is likely to be a cornerstone complete DE. Epenesa may turn out to be one as well, but the jury is still out on him. Watt was just going to be a 1 or 2 year player. He might be better than Addison or Hughes at this point, but they are all at the end of the highly productive part of their careers. For the kind of money Watt cost I want a long term impact player.
