BeastMode54 Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Tremaine and Poyer. I knew Poyer was gone but was hoping they'd get Edmunds back. And I'm surprised they haven't started restructuring any deals yet, Josh being the biggest one 4 3 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheyCallMeAndy Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 (edited) Link Poyer isn’t surprising, Edmunds is disappointing but you can only pay so much on upside. Will have a new look defense in 2023. 🦬 Edited March 8, 2023 by TheyCallMeAndy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Success Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 I've been pretty big on keeping Edmunds - but I'd also be okay if we used that money elsewhere. They can probably get another effective LB for half the price; not as impactful as Edmunds, but we don't necessarily need that if we shore up other areas. 6 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Fine by me. I don't want Beane to overpay either of them. Poyer is about to be 32 and Tremaine wants Warner/Roquan type $$$. Thank you for your service. ✌️✌️ 17 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWATeam Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Pretty big indictment on Tremaine. Beane talks constantly about drafting and retaining.

DrDawkinstein Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 This is both a big "no duh" and also a non story since nothing is even close to official and it's just conjecture in the doldrums of the offseason. Almost sounds like the team is negotiating through the media on this one. "Expected" to lose... ok, yeah, we've all been expecting it. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Who Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 I don't see how this is a surprise. I don't believe it is an indictment on Tremaine. He can simply get more on the open market than what we can prudentially alot for his position. Poyer is great, but he's old with significant wear and tear. Cheaper replacements and more resources devoted to oline and offensive weapons is the right strategy. I'm hoping they follow through, whilst anticipating a pretty good chance they go D in the first . . . again. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_In_NH Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 I have been assuming this. I like Edmunds a lot but I don't think the Bills should pay what he will get on the open market. No matter what people say/assume, you are constrained in terms of spending and you have to make decisions. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beane was hoping and hoping but even he has realized this now. Edmunds will get a big contract somewhere else. Curious to see how Beane approaches free agency. Will he try to sign released players in order to qualify for comp picks in next year's draft? Edmunds and Poyer should get pretty good contracts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPL Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 (edited) I like Edmunds and think he's been better than we often give him credit for. But he's exactly the type of player that the Patriots would have let walk during their golden years. I just don't love the idea of paying top LB money for a guy that just isn't quite consistent. Not saying we're the Patriots, but they did know what they were doing for a while. Poyer, on the other hand, IDK... his age would make me nervous to give big money, but at the same time, he seemingly continues to get better.

As a matter of fact I remember the day, posting on the board as everyone was trying to figure out how we could pay him the expected $14-15M/yr, and everyone was pissed he was going to walk. And then the tweet hit that he signed at $11M. But most of us expected he was gone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
