Paying less for Settle + Jones this year than what Harrison Phillips himself is getting is a big win. Upgraded size and talent on the DL and are paying less for it. Good stuff.

I'm reading through all the comments on Adam Schefter's Tweet announcing this signing, and it's a whole lot of WFT/Commanders fans saying how good he is, how they wanted him back, how Buffalo got a real gem.

Usually, when a free agent leaves a team to sign elsewhere, fans of his former team defensively say that he's overrated, overpriced, they aren't sorry to see him go, whatever.

Not the case here. Every WFT/Commanders fan that responds in the comment -- every single one -- has nothing but good things to say about Tim Settle.

So you only follow the Bills, eh?

DT was a huge need for us. There will be other moves made at edge rusher. Right now the only rosterable players at that position are Rousseau, Basham, and Epenesa. At the very least Hughes and Addison need to be replaced. I expect that to be the next position Beane targets in FA. Hopefully Chandler Jones. I would accept Von Miller as a consolation prize if we run out of options.

Every move we made today saved money…

 

-Morse extension 

 

-Saffold replacing Williams

 

-Jones/Settle signed, letting Harry walk

4.5m for Oliver's backup saves money?

 

You’re looking at it as AAV.   Contract isn’t structured that way.  
 

And yes, 2 years / $9 mil is less than matching Harry’s contract.  
 

Settle and Jones are good players who don’t break the bank.   What would you like us to put out there alongside Oliver?… 3 mid-late round draft picks?

1. Settle + Jones together are making less than or equal to what Harrison Phillips is making with the Vikings. Two for the price of one DTs.

 

2. Backup? Have you watched much Bills football the past five years? McDermott rotates his DL more than anyone in the league.

 

3. Free agency isn't over. It actually hasn't even officially started .

We're paying like 10-11m or whatever to some guy to play next to Oliver, right? Are you saying that is a piss poor contract and he's not a capable starter?

 

Harry was a one-tech. Jones is his replacement at one-tech.

 

Settle is an expensive backup.

 

I would rather ditch Settle, McKenzie and Siran Neal and go after an elite talent who actually makes a difference.
