Canadian Bills Fan Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 $10M would be my max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullBuchanan Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 That's way too much money to pay a backup LB. Edmunds is not a player we should be looking to keep at any price as our starting MLB. He's a liability and a key part of a defense that couldnt stop KC when it mattered most. He defines anti-clutch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2o Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 I don't think Edmunds takes anything less than we gave Milano last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magox Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Absolutely! $10m a year would represent value and a player that knows the system, makes an impact on how teams attack the defense. I just don’t think the Bills will be able to get him at that rate. I wouldn’t be surprised that he ends up somewhere at some point for around the $12m a year range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No excuse for him either, though at least he's played well during points of his career - often for long stretches where he looked like one of the best players on our defense. That's something I've never been able to say of Edmunds. Of the two, i definitely prefer Milano.

John from Riverside Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 This is supposed to be a deep draft for LB's......would not shock me to see us take a mid round guy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalosouth Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Price is going up after next season regardless of his production. Will he be here, now that will depend on production. If he plays the way we all want him to absolutely. If he stays the same its time to move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to say he hasn't done his role with the franchise. Like I said, he's a monster in the middle of the field that makes QBs look elsewhere. So he's done that job. But being as big as he is, I still feel like he plays too soft. I don't want to go too deep on it but basically my point is he's a against the pass LB and not an all around LB.

Dopey Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Just now, The Wiz said: Not sure if serious or actually ok with my thoughts??? No man, I'm serious. I like when someone can critique his game without the " he sucks" dialogue. I will say, he has some issues like any other player, but I feel the tandem we have is one of the better tandems in the league. Remembering we play 2 linebackers a lot. If folks don't like the defense we run, that's one thing but they do the job and do it well. My Milano comment aside, I like him a lot. Now, if we ran a true 4-3 we might be able to find a better MLB. But this defense we run, I feel we'd be hard pressed to find a better option. One more thing(sorry for the long reply), I feel Edmunds gets blamed for things that aren't his doing. Please watch the long TD we gave up to NE in our 1st matchup. Hyde was the last line of defense. We all know this. But keep your eyes on Milano. Watch him from just prior to the snap through the cut back by the RB. If you can tell me how he ends up where he does, you would be the first. Just one example of the blame game gone wrong. Edmunds was not at fault there. Again, sorry for the long response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YattaOkasan Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 2 hours ago, DrDawkinstein said: 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. You’re saying with your last sentence that you don’t see Milano making plays around him? Mentioned on cover 1 was that edmunds is a good compliment to Milano. Edmunds can clean up plays from Milano aggressiveness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando Tim Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 If Edmunds hits free agency he will get $15 million a year for 3 years so two more years at $50 total would be an easy yes. People still don't understand how much ground he covers and how much they ask him to do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep and if the light doesn't come on in year 5...........then see ya' Tremaine, IMO. I don't care if he bulb doesn't spark until he is elsewhere in year 6..........like it did with Demario Davis..........ILB's who don't make plays are very replaceable and you can't pay that light bill before you get some juice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 De'Vondre Campbell was far more productive than Edmunds in 2021 so if we're making that comparison and paying for productivity, not some false hope of potential, then no. 3 yrs 28 would be best offer I would be okay with to extend him.

Brand J Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 This thread might reach 80 pages and extend well into the season 😂 I would only entertain the idea of Edmunds at $10M/yr if our base defense was a 4-3 and he proved to be more impactful as a weakside OLB. I don’t like him at $10M/yr in his current nickel role, not enough return on a double digit million dollar contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locomark Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Can we stop with the “but he is young” as a positive? All it means is we have to pay more money for him to gain experience he could have gotten in college and for us to figure out who he really is. It doesn’t guarantee he will play longer nor does it guarantee he has more improvement to make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
