With Allen’s deal done, if you could pick one player on the Bills roster to extend right now, who would it be?

Diggs. For me its not even close.

 

I understand people thinking and wanting Edmunds but I am not a fan of paying him the salary he will command as a FA. I know hes steady for us, but if Im giving $10M+ per year to a LB, they need to be a game changer.

 

Has Edmunds proven that?

 

Serious question.

 

I know he is good and reliable but think about some of the great LB's out there, is he in their company? 

 

TJ Watt--$10M per year

Mack--$14.6M/year

Jaylon Smith--$938M/ year

Devin White is at $8.1M this year but next year goes to $938M

 

Is Edmunds comparable to these players? I dont think so. At least not IMO

 

I would love it if the price was right but We signed Milano for $7.8M a year so I can imagine Edmunds wanting at least $10M a year

 

 

 

Despite the fact that 3/4 of those guys are very different in style of play to Edmunds, they are all more valuable IMO. Maybe, he is a better Lb than Smith. 
 

Still, I think the way things are looking for contracts, 10M is not that far off.

 

Im not a big fan of Edmunds, as much as I try to be, so I hope they are prudent with this, especially given how many deals they’ve shelled out recently

I guess I'd go with Boettger if we could get him on a cheap ~2 year deal.  Maybe save some money if he wins the starting job this year?  

 

The only other player I think I'd consider extending right now is Hughes.

 

But Beane has already extended all the most important players IMO.  I'm fine if he doesn't extend anyone else.  

 

I don't like the idea of extending Edmunds.  I think Edmunds is a better player than some here give him credit for but I am not convinced he's worth $15-$20mil/year.

Edmunds is a two time pro bowler and it's not like he's just getting in because he's a household name...

 

This is Edmund's year to prove he's worth a contract. If the D line is significantly improved, then he might have a monster year. One of my bold predictions is that he leads all LBs in INTs (top ten among all players).

Agreed.

Agree that it will be Diggs next.  Edmunds will have to play out his 5th year option to get his 2nd contract.

 

I think the Bills may want to see where this next season takes Edmunds, but I don't see why they would make him play out his 5th year option.

This is his 4th season.  Either he steps up, or they need to be looking for someone else.
