Pete Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Hughes, Addison, Sanders, Trubisky, Butler, Boettger, Wallace, Jones, Obada, Breida, Phillips, Zimmer, McKenzie, Neil are all UFA. With our cap constraints, I can't imagine us making any big signings. IMO we must extend Harrison and Levi, and maybe Siran. I know the NFL comp awards system always screws Bills, just like the refs. But everyone of those players will sign somewhere IMO. Put that in your pipe NFL comp man- we will be awarded several comp picks, it's inevitable 2 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 You left out the most important comp picks of all: If Leslie Frazier gets hired away to be a head coach somewhere, the Bills will receive compensatory 3rd round draft picks in 2022 and 2023 drafts.

Bills keep guys like Wallace if they're willing to take less. He's not a core player, so the Bills will be disciplined about what they pay him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCbillsfan Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Fully expect Beane to re-work some contracts (Diggs) and possibly let Star go to create cap space. Wallace and Phillips will be priority re-signings. I could see them bring back Hughes, Neal, Zimmer, McKenzie and Boettger. Bills have trouble getting all their picks on the 53 man as it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aristocrat Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 The one that has the chance to give us a third would be trubisky. He took a nagy team to the playoffs.

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 There can’t be another fan base around that cares about these comp picks. Our roster is incredibly deep. Draft picks almost have no way on to the roster or field. Who cares? Load up these picks and use them for 1 or 2 excellent players. We don’t need more depth or volume.

Irv Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Who would have thought, at the start of the year, we'd be saying re-signing Levi Wallace is critical. How times change! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted January 7, 2022 Author Share Posted January 7, 2022 Beane has had much success with mid round picks. We have cap constraints. So going forward, keeping core intact, and filling roster spots with rookies on 4-5 year rookie contracts makes perfect fiscal sense. If we lose all our UFAs, we need to fill those roster spots. And it’s most cost effective to replace with draft picks 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eSJayDee Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 I believe compensation is based on how much they sign for & how much they play. Of course, you need to have a net loss, too. I think the latter will be the case. I think we will retain one of Addison or Hughes, presumably for much less than they're currently making based on their performance & age. The other will sign for a "reasonable" contract. I'd like to see us retain Wallace & indications are that his contract, too, will be "reaSONBALE", ie ~$5m/yr. I can see Trubisky potentially signing a "big" contract & starting somewhere, especially if Dabol gets a HC job & takes him w/ him. This could be worth like a 3rd rounder. Boettger, , Phillips & maybe Zimmer might get modest contracts, which might yield like a 7th or so. The rest are basically near minimum wage type guys & won't yield anything (except in making us a net loss player-wise) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a 3rd for Frazier like @Logicsaid earlier. Maybe one or 2 comps picks (who knows for sure yet). My other hope is IF some of these vet "cut" that people are talking about can turn into a trade by Beane instead of cuts the draft could get interesting. Beane would have some chances for wheeling and dealing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another team has to sign them to a pretty large contract. Also, I believe it factors in what contracts we gave out to FA as well. Out of all of those I see some being back, some signed to average contracts. MAYBE Trubisky gets a deal from a desperate GM needing a QB miracle.

gonzo1105 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Don’t laugh at the guy but with Covid, the draft last year was really week after round 4. With the extra year this draft will be deeper than typical ones. The Bills have 9 picks. If Frazier gets a HC job that’s an extra 3rd. Usually you have to get about 3.5 million now to even qualify in the top 32 lost Free Agents. Out of those guys that are Free Agents, I suspect if we don’t re sign them that Trubisky, Wallace, Phillips, maybe Hughes on a 1 year, and Neal because of his STs prowess plus position flexibility being the likely guys. I would suspect we end up with 2 comp picks in the later rounds. It could end up being 1st 2nd 3rd 3rd(Frazier) 4th 5th 5th(Comp) 6th 6th(Johnson) 6th(Comp) 7th 7th(Smith) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
