Niagara Dude Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 6 hours ago, GunnerBill said: His best season came in a dome, but even his last 3 stops in the NFL all outdoors - Denver, Washington, Cleveland - he has thrown 32 touchdowns against 21 picks and completed over 60% of his throws. They are still top end backup Quarterback numbers and for a 7th round pick which is basically no different to signing a free agent. I take the point on the cap hit. $6m did feel a lot to me when I saw it. Let's see what it comes out at. I am happy with Keenum because I thought we were going to be looking in the Matt Barkley / Mike Glennon tier of backups and Keenum is way better than that. If $6.1m is the number I expect the Bills to extenr him and lower the hit. This is a different conversation, right now Chase Daniel was signed as a back-up for 2mllion cap hit and Tyrod Taylor has a 2.7 mllion cap hit this season. Bridgewater has one of highest at 6.5 mllion, but I believe he started last season. Need to get that 6.1 number to half so we can sign a CB or guard. BATES is meeting with Patriots, so both the CB position and guard spots could use a free agent signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if the Bills restructure to get his number to around 3-4 million then I would be fine, still need money to sign Barkley who is rumoured to be coming in next week. we don't need Barkley...he's also a terrible QB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do take the point on the hit and agree it is a little on the high side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just really want to see us sign some quality starting level CB, because White may not return until Nov and we lost Wallace in free agency. CB & guard are two positions we need to look at, I Bates is visiting the Patriots this weekend. The cheaters may just sign him to pull information out of him and then we need a starting guard.

CapeBreton Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Great trade and glad to see the re-structure, Keenum is a competent backup. I’d actually have some faith we could win games if he had to start. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year he was facing the prospects of a QB room that lost Daboll, Mitch Trubisky, and Davis Webb. A Barkley signing would be intended to offset some of that loss.

I don't think signing Bates is going to give Patriots a better chance to beat us Especially since have a new OC and new O-line coach etc. It would hurt to lose Bates but he was undrafted and a backup most of his career this far. We likely could get a better talent in the draft for less money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCBills Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 I don’t want to spend on Barkley, but if he’s willing to come back for a min deal as QB3, that’s a no-brainer given what he brings off the field and in the QB room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGMcD2 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 So Keenum is a cap hit of $3.5M for Buffalo? A better QB than Bridgewater with a smaller cap hit. A MUCH better QB than Kyle Allen with a slightly larger cap hit. And all it cost us was a pick that would’ve never made the roster… nice. 3 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
