BrooklynBills Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Akiem Hicks has the market value and can probably be signed for less gtd $$. I think this is just Phillips pricing himself out of what the Bills want to spend for a 1T, 2 down DT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FilthyBeast Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 You get the sense that even if the Bills want to keep guys like Harrison, Wallace, etc they know that there will be some ridiculous deals thrown around in FA especially with the salary cap figure going upwards again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuco Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 4 hours ago, No_Matter_What said: If Bills want to do that basic RFA stuff with Bates, when is the deadline for it? Pretty sure the deadline for the RFA tender is before the start of the new league year - next Tuesday. Then the deadline for the player to get and present an offer sheet from another team is usually around a week before the draft. April 22ish I think it is this year. Worth mentioning, once the RFA tender is applied the amount counts against our cap right away. So for example, we are already something like $3.5 mil over the cap. If they put a tender out there on Bates for whatever amount, say $4 mil, the $4 mil instantly figures into our top 51 cap figure and raises the already over $3.5 mil by that much more. The Bills need to start making cap moves soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This...and it's a little concerning that even some of the minor expected moves like dumping Feliciano hasn't happened yet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest domino (Rodgers) fell. Minutes later the second biggest (Wilson) followed suit. Plus it’s getting to be crunch time anyway.

That was a forgone possibility to most I think. That you actually met Phillips BEST FRIEND and he shared intimate details of his intentions is what I doubted. 1 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 You are truly wise, man, well done! Sad to see , but you nailed it with your insider connection. Tough loss of a very classy , great guy who was all you could want as a role model for Bills players. Will miss him.

He said it was a certainty, then he said it was a possibility. It was never a certainty, but it was always a possibility. That is true with every FA. We all knew it was possible. The process has to play out, then we know. I wish him well, especially against AFC teams! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
