Not sure an aging guard is the best guy to give big money too.... It didn’t say anything about “big money” though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEra Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 (edited) 7 minutes ago, Logic said: I know he's a "name" and that he's worked with Kromer before, but he's aging and declining. I'll wait to see the contract numbers before I form an opinion. I doubt he'll be worse than Williams. He also doesn't count against the compensatory pick formula because he was a cut player, so there's that. The numbers will be key. I’d venture to say that Beane somehow paid 11-12m aav. If it is, I hope it’s only 11-12 gtd. edit: 1 year deal….would be nice to see that number under 10M but expecting 11-13 Edited March 14, 2022 by NewEra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 2 minutes ago, Mikie's Bills said: Good to very good run blocker. Below average in pass protection at this point in his career. Right. That is sort of what I got. I get we have to run the ball better. But if I have to choose between the pass blocker or the run blocker, and I pay my QB $45M+, I’m taking the pass blocker. 2 minutes ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: You've captured my concerns concisely. I don't think Saffold is That Guy any more. On the other hand...he started his career 12 years ago as a LT, and has played RG and LG. So there's that. I know we didn’t like the Williams contract. But 12th highest paid OG in the league is trending towards average and we got that production out of him. My initial thought is I would have preferred to maybe extend Williams and up his guaranteed money to lower his cap hit rather than pay a premium for Saffold. There’s also a strong possibility I am an idiot. So who can really say who is right and who isn’t? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Doesn't stop the Bills from drafting a guard. I'm good with this signing. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffblue Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 This is the one thing I questioned when Kromer came back. Does his return indicate a desire to run the football more? The signing of Saffold sure makes you wonder, and if so I'm not a huge fan of that philosophy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Repeat what I said when TEN cut him. 1. Never been a huge fan of his, think he has been overrated and overpaid most of his career; 2. He definitely is on the decline; 3. He has some history with Kromer so that helps the adjustment; 4. I hope it is a cheap deal. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussie Joe Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 I’ll reserve final judgement until I see the numbers… 34 years old so hope it’s a cheap deal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
