Bills pick up Ed Oliver’s 5th yr option

Good deal - glad for both Ed & the Bills. Oliver is enormously talented & sometimes looked dominant the second half of last season. I hope that "getting paid" will not mean that Ed lets up - let's hope that Oliver is a man motivated by winning & money -- not just the $$$.

I got lots of funny faces... Look... I would of extended him right away... He is going to have Shaq on one side and a guy named Von. My point... pay him now because Olivers stats are going to explode this year with those faces around him on this team... Its not that I dont like ED... its just that I dont want to over pay next year

read up I should of explained it more.

 

 

But there is no way they extend him for LESS than $10M/yr. So with the 5th year, he gets a nice pay bump, the team gets some savings, and both sides get a little more time to work on an extension.

Still not as good as Kyle Williams.

Oliver is good, but he shouldn't be getting elite money. 10/yr is about right.

In Kyle's first three years he had 4 sacks and 150 tackles.  Oliver has 12 sacks and 117 tackles.  I do think Oliver has not played as well as Williams did at his peak.  But so far Oliver has progressed nicely.  I didn't like the pick at the time and after Oakland selected Quinnen WIlliams early, I thought Beane should have made a move up for Josh Allen or TJ Hockenson.   But with Kyle retiring and Beane drafting for need as he does and should, Oliver made sense and he has steadily improved.

I've approved of all of Beane's 1st round picks.

 

But you knew that.

 

Be who you want to be. :thumbsup:


Weren't you team "we should have drafted DK Metcalf over Ed Oliver", or am I mistaking you with someone else?

lock him up early before his breakout season playing with von

 

Would love to see it, but I can't see Ed betting against himself and locking in a below-market deal right now... and if he's not willing to do that, it doesn't make sense to do the deal from Beane's side.

What? Why? It's a no brainer. 

You may have answered the question with the “no brainer” portion of your question…

Beane and company obviously see the potential for Oliver to explode this year alongside Von Miller.

 

But either way he's been a good player. Not quite elite, but could get there and he's played alongside crap when you consider the overall pass rush the last few years.

100% agree... thats why i want to sign him now before he gets to expensive and not just extend and wait and see....
