Ethan in Cleveland Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 He's played 7 good games his entire career. He won't have much demand for his services. They will be drafting a DT early. Star and a rookie will split time at NT. Hope they move on from Zimmer too. He was limited athletically even before he got hurt. 2 2 6 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DapperCam Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 If this is true it is probably the Bills low balling him, and telling him to see if he can beat it in FA. Purse strings seem tight this offseason (for example Beasley being allowed to seek a trade, probably asked to take a pay cut), maybe saving cap space for a big splash signing? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely that the Bills don't want to pay him what his agent says he's worth and will get as a FA. Is the agent correct, we'll find out in a couple weeks. Or the Bills due pay him what he wants or close to it, then he does sign. Maybe as others posted the Bills plan to sign another better FA or draft one high. Can't get out of Stars contract this year, so he's not needed that much or at least valued that much.

It’s a crap shoot, like with every other player in free agency. They all have interest at different levels with different teams at different costs. We wait, and we will see.

I'm sure one by one they're approaching their FA's and telling them what they're willing to pay. Take it or leave it. Harry's a nice player but nothing that we can't replace. Draft Wyatt or Jones day 2. I think Harry, Zimmer and Butler are all gone. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Costa Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 (edited) My first question is why is Harrison’s best friend out by himself in Buffalo 🦬? Harrison is from Nebraska and went to Stanford. So is his best friend out in a Buffalo telling people Harrison isn’t coming back? Or is Harrison’s best friend somewhere else in the World 🌎 telling people Harrison’s intentions? This is totally made up. Pretty weird to say the least. 😂😂😂 Edited March 6, 2022 by Paul Costa 3 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't expect anyone to really believe this, but you'll just have to believe me haha. He will not be a Bill next year I expect his best friend learned this in a High Level Meeting 😄 Harrison Phillips is a smart guy. His agents are smart guys. They understand there's this thing called "tampering". Waving around texts that "prove" he will sign elsewhere in FA, before FA even starts would be tampering. We all know conversations between agents and GMs occur at the combine and winter meetings, but actual texts proving something are another matter. I don't expect you to believe me, but you 'll just have to believe me haha. 19 minutes ago, wiseman3 said: Lol yeah like I said I don't expect anyone to believe me.

Well, sure Zimmer was limited….onlyAaron Donald is not limited athletically. You have to look at players by their value.Which is how much they can help in relation to how much they get paid. We are looking for the best bargains now that JA’s contract is a reality. Hopefully, we can find a better player at around the same cash to backup Ed but if we can’t Zimmer is (was) a pretty good bargain basement backup.

I'm pretty confident they'll get a deal done. Props to him. I thought his career was over when he was a healthy scratch mid-season. But he really did play good football the last half of the season and into the playoffs. If the money is right, i think he would be a fine back-up DT. But that is probably as good as he will ever be. They need someone to pair with Oliver that can consistently take on two blockers, hold his ground, and make some plays from time to time. 21 minutes ago, billybrew1 said: Well, sure Zimmer was limited….onlyAaron Donald is not limited athletically.

This flies in the face of the type of person he is by all accounts, so yeah you either have very poor judgment and got "got" by a troll or you're a troll yourself.

Buffalo_Stampede Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 I thought it was interesting Beane said Phillips will test free agency during his combine interview. No one really reacted to it.

And look at FAs who sign 1 year prove it deals. Each team is biased to their own players, but if Harry is good (which he is when healthy) why would he take below market value and/or extra length to stay with the Bills to play 55% of snaps. Also, view this from his perspective. He has one chance, as is this chance, to get paid. No way he doesn’t test the market, even if the Bills offer market value (which honestly with the cap, is like $8-$10 million, depending on length). Look at DeVondre Campbell going from ATL to GB, yes different position, but this happens more than you care to admit. This is the one downside to our system, guys wanna play and not rotate as it leads to injury and such. Harry will have demand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one really reacted to it. Sounds like Phillips wants more than the Bills are willing to offer. If Phillips signs elsewhere, DT is suddenly a huge need for us. Under contract for 2022 we have Oliver, Star, and Eli Ankou. That's it. If Star retires we have next to nothing at the position. The DE situation isn't much better. Three "hopefully they'll develop" players in Rousseau, Basham, and Epenesa, and PS fodder Mike Love. I know everyone is giddy over the WR 40 times this year, but no one should be surprised if Beane once again goes heavy at d-line on the first two days of the draft. There's a massive need at every spot and there won't be any cheap starting caliber players in FA. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And tampering? Seriously? Do you know and have a direct line to Harry? As in you know what type of person he is? He owes us nothing and has every right to test the market. Does where you work have exclusive rights to your employment? That’s what you’re implying. He’s a good player, and would love to have him back, but also understand as a 3rd round pick and injury history, he’s doing what’s best for him and his family and not “our Bills family” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
