Buffalo Timmy 1,418 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2934083-ranking-the-10-worst-contracts-given-in-nfl-free-agency-last-year They actually list Mario Addison as worst which I think is dumb but I will admit we overpaid for him by a large amount, apparently 14 million for that one year of average DE play. The good news is we can cut him and get some salary cap room but I see the other contracts and am glad we did not get Beasley or Hooper Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The good news is we can cut him and get some salary cap room but I see the other contracts and am glad we did not get Beasley or Hooper That's ridiculous to list him first. First of all, the Bills can part ways with him this year for a $4M cap hit. Second they disagree with Overthecap on the guarantees, with B/R saying $15.25 ("more than half") of the contract guaranteed while OTC basically says we're free of guaranteed money after what was paid out last year, $13.25M ($4M signing bonus still on the books). Second, while he didn't contribute as the Bills had hoped, he did play in 15 games + 3 playoffs and contribute 6 sacks, 9 QB hits, 4 passes defensed, a forced fumble, and 40 tackles. That's actually better production than Beasley, Fowler, Clowney etc. 4 4 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tortured Soul 79 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 I wonder how many on this board would gladly take Jimmy Graham's production at Jimmy Graham's contract for a vet tight end option (Ertz, Rudolph, etc.). 2 years/$16 million 456 yards, 8 TDs Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rc2catch 4,081 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Kinda silly. Basically every edge and defensive line player busted from free agency last offseason. Lawson and Phillips included. Addison at least had some production vs all the guys who had almost none or ended up hurt non stop. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hondo in seattle 1,313 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 With 39 sacks in the previous 4 seasons, I thought Addison was a great addition if a bit overpaid. I was hoping for another 9 or 10 sack season from him. Sigh. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yup-obsession with ex Panthers stings on this one. A fine player to add for much cheaper- doubt any other team in the NFL would have offered a contract like this 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GunnerBill 19,069 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 I hated the Addison signing basically from day 1. Watching him with Carolina in 2019 I saw a clearly declining player and that same player was on the field in Buffalo in 2020. But the worst free agent signing in the whole NFL? I struggle to see it as that. One of Beane's worst moves as Bills GM I could get on board with. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
