He is worth every penny young pass rusher, improving every year generates pressure and stops the run what isn’t to like about this deal... some had him at 17 to 19m price tag great signing by the jets 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look to the Chiefs who renegotiated contracts--we have the ability to do that too and it's in the interest of the players. Also, the 36m over cap Rams just signed a guy for 21m (ok, that one kind of broke my brain). Teams can find a way. There is still potentially 20-30m the Bills could spend if they choose. 15 minutes ago, Miyagi-Do Karate said: These early FA deals are really inflated. There is a lot of value out there still. Can't help but feel this is what the Bills are doing. Perhaps the Dolphins as well. More often than not the team that goes on a spree is not the team that makes a big advance the following year. They don't call it Snydering for nothing (ok, just me?). Right now, it's kind of like the Patriots and Bills have been Freaky Friday'd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thurman#1 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Would have loved him, but it seemed unlikely with our first few signings. And the question was always how much he would cost. At that #, I don't think we'd have touched him even if we easily had the money. 10 minutes ago, Reed83HOF said: This is you @Virgil Haaa! Nice one.

Turk71 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I have a feeling there will be talented free agents this year still looking for a team when the cap $ is mostly spent. There should be some good deals to be had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly right we sign a linebacker who can’t pass rush and is marginal Against the run they sign a premier young pass rusher for what is looking like really good value and we have boneheads on here saying they can have it lol Lawson > Milano all day every day, one plays a premier position and plays it well and is young... it’s really that simple how is binging back the same defense with no pass rush help going to beat the chiefs...

I’ll help you it won’t This is simply a poor take. Milano is a very good pass rusher when asked to do it. He's good against the run too, extremely instinctual. Milano has a very strong all around game. The comparison doesn't make any sense, as they play different positions and have entirely different responsibilities. For what they each do, Milano's better. But what Lawson was signed to do ... rush the passer on every pass play ... is better paid. Lawson appears to be a good young player on the upswing, who gets to the QB but hasn't gotten a lot of sacks. These two moves have nothing to do with each other and there's no reason to compare them beyond an interest in irritating people. Another dissimilarity is that Lawson (not the 9th best DE in the league) got paid the 9th highest salary. He's overpaid (common for 1st tier FAs, but still overpaid) whereas Milano gave a very signficant hometown discount.

Lawson’s best year with sacks was his rookie year by far - he has not been getting better - he has been getting more snaps with less production per snap. 2019 was more productive than last year as he had 5.0 sacks on 477 defensive snaps. He had more tackles for loss and played better all around. In 16 games in 2020 and well over 120 additional snaps - he got 0.5 more sacks than Mario Addison for the Bills. (A guy you and several other posters are killing for his production). He also had less overall tackles and less tackles for loss than Addison in all of those extra snaps. He is younger than Addison, but he is getting paid more than 2x what Addison is paid for less production (both career averages and last season per snap). Look I liked Lawson and would of been fine with him on the Bills at a reasonable contract - around Addison/Murphy level. At nearly 2x at - his pass rushing is not good enough to warrant that kind of money. Heck Lawson had fewer sacks than Shaq Lawson did for the Bills in 1/2 the snaps in 2019. Watching the Bengals- he was noticeably on a few occasions, but he never popped. He was Shaq Lawson, Mario Addison type player - getting push - making a few plays, but rarely flat out beating a tackle 1:1. He is a good player, but I think the Jets way over paid - same as they did with Corey Davis - a speed guy with questionable hands. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
