BuffaloRebound Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Yes, but the whole $12.7m thing will make this impossible. He’s not gonna sign for less than $12.7m per year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uninja Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 10m per year for 5 years is a good deal, assuming it's only partly guaranteed and there's mechanisms to walk away after 2 years. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glazeduck Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 (edited) For better or for worse, Edmunds is 5 years younger than Campbell. I think the answer (and the crux of the debate about him as a player in general, really) depends on what you think of his ability to continue developing. Given a rising cap, I'd bet on him continuing to develop and say yes. Edited March 14, 2022 by glazeduck 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not gonna sign for less than $12.7m per year So he's gauranteed 12.7 million for this year. That doesn't mean that he won't sign for less than that on a long term deal. Can easily structure something so that he gets more money up front or over the first 2 years AND it lowers his overall cap hit early on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDawkinstein Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 As someone who has been very critical of Edmunds, yes, I would extend him at $10M/yr. 6 minutes ago, BuffaloRebound said: Yes, but the whole $12.7m thing will make this impossible. He’s not gonna sign for less than $12.7m per year $50M with probably half of it guaranteed, is far better than only $12.7M. I wouldnt say it's impossible. The only thing here is that I wouldnt want Edmunds on a 5 year deal, more like 3. But in general, the money is right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Blitz Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Yea and I'm about trading him so. I'd be good with it. But 4 years 40 million - he'll be a UFA at 28 and can cash in again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BADOLBILZ Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 10 minutes ago, Buffalo_Stampede said: Would you do this contract right now? Structure-wise........that could be A LOT of different things. 5 years for a veteran LB is an intentionally long deal to spread out the hit. My guess is that it's more like a 2 year $15M deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsVet Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 When Edmunds puts up a season like what Campbell did last year, then he can talk to the Bills about a contract extension. Until then, Buffalo should be finding a lower priced vet and develop a younger cheaper MLB. Can't keep paying all these defensive guys big contracts on defense at the expense of the offense. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Summary Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 No. Not a player I want to commit to for 5 years - especially at that price. 5.5 career sacks (0 in 2021). 4 career interceptions. Interferes with passing lanes or whatever......... I'd rather extend Poyer again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wiz Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 5 for 8.5/9. I'd take that. He eats space in the passing game but that's about it. He's not what we wanted him to be so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Stampede Posted March 14, 2022 Author Share Posted March 14, 2022 It's amazing how split we are on this guy. Crazy thing is he's a quiet player also. No look at me stuff. Such a strange topic for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estro Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 I'm not a big fan of Tremaine, but @ that APY for 5 years, YES I would do that deal. That'd be pretty team friendly, especially down the road. $10M a year for a LB will look pedestrian in a year or 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No look at me stuff. Such a strange topic for me. It really is. Not only is the board split, but I think a number of us fight our own internal battles trying to get a real bead on his play. I'll admit the Cover1 videos do a lot to help his image. A number of things I've bashed him for look a little less severe when put into the proper context of his true responsibilities and the amount this scheme asks of him to cover. But every series of every game I say "Cmon Tremaine, we just need 1 play", and it literally never comes. So even if he is making the calls, and responsible for multiple gaps, and is clogging up passing lanes... I'm not seeing anything actually come of it. No big plays from him, nor really anyone directly around him. Tough one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bills_believer Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 There is no way that Tremaine is going to sign a 5 year deal for 50 million. He is guaranteed to make 12.7 this year which is 27% more than 10 million for this year. There is no reason for him not to bet on himself. He would take the 12.7 million this year and believe that he can get a better contract next year (better than 5 years for 50 million).

I mean, he's played in the league 4 years now and is 23 years old. How much more can we keep trotting out these age excuses when he just doesn't process the game fast enough? He improved a bit this year but is there really an explosive improvement awaiting his future? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
