I'm sticking to that commitment. That said, I just don't think the team can afford Milano and a top 5 MLB contract. They have to pay Oliver and Knox soon followed by Davis. If they want a high priced MLB they will have to let Poyer leave and probably trade Milano at the end of the year. who’s to say Milano isn’t the odd man out and Bernard takes his place down the road.

blacklabel Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Sounds like the Bears low-balled him. I read that they actually inserted deescalators in his contract that would penalize him for certain things, which is something that typically isn't included in player contracts. He was offended by it, rightfully. The feeling in Chicago right now seems to be the new FO wants to tank this year and completely gut the team in 2023, Fields included. And Beane ain't trading for him. They love Edmunds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the Bears gonna want picks, prolly a first. Smith is gonna want a bag, a big one. We don't really have either of those to dole out. A 1st next year will be in the high 20s+.

Can get rid of him with a reasonable dead cap number Well to me he's way more valuable than Edmunds whose making almost 13 this year. Unless Tre has a great year, there's no way they, IMO would consider....or should consider over 15...and I wouldn't offer that.

I am one of the larger Edmunds detractors here, and even I tend to believe this. As much as I would like to upgrade the position with a more instinctual player, I'm not sure that Smith could play in the pass game like Edmunds does. Smith seems to be more of a "classic" MLB thumper. Whereas we are looking for the next Luke Kuechley. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many ways to manipulate this situation That could very well happen. In fact it almost needs to if they want to keep Oliver, Knox, and Edmunds. If Edmunds plays like a top 5 MLB this year, I would be in favor of that. Milano seems like a guy that is going to have a short career being undersized and an injury history. Of course there are many other ways to get cap space with restructures of Allen, White, and others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanC883 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 5 hours ago, JayBaller10 said: I still don’t think Edmunds gets extended for any more than what Milano received. And because I’m sure Edmunds and his agent won’t go for less than what he’s currently making, I don’t know what the Bills plans are for him. Would be silly to just let him walk in free agency without attempting to recoup some assets. If Bernard continues to improve and Edmunds is the same player he’s been, even with an improved DL ahead of him, then I’d expect a move by the trade deadline. If Edmunds is markedly better than what he has shown thus far, then we’re in a jam considering all the other contracts coming up. I think it all has to end in a trade. Can’t pay everyone. the value with Edmunds just isn't there relative to what he likely asks for. He does not make impact/game changing plays. He is an average/good MLB, but the numbers I keep hearing are all-pro/game changer numbers. And if Bernard improves, that is perfect and likely the plan. Put Bernard in next year with Milano, draft another LB, and resign Knox/Poyer and you have Davis coming up soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
