BADOLBILZ Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 13 minutes ago, DCofNC said: Injuries happen, he has looked good when healthy, a borderline #1 but top flight #2, I think they got a relative bargain for the risk of seeing if he’s back to form. It makes sense for them for the reasons I stated...........they have cap space and are an unattractive destination and if he pans out then paying him half of what his market value would be if totally healthy($15M) leaves them at worst with a tradeable asset. Paying him half rate is too much for the Bills given the uncertainty around his rebound. They don't have that kind of flexibility. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Von, Rousseau and (to a lesser extent) Epenesa were the only ones who showed up. I guess your statement is qualified for Ed by saying “when healthy”… I don’t know… guy seems needs to be fully healthy and have top talent around him to be effective. Yeah Oliver got a high ankle sprain in the opener and then after a strong run at mid-season he got hurt again and was ineffective. It's a popular take to play up DaQuan like he was a hidden-All Pro but the reality is that he merely exceeded expectations that some had because they figured he was going to be yet another of Beane's no-impact DT signings. He actually was what he always was but for the first time he was playing on a team that forced the opponent to pass the ball a lot. Everyone's play/impact dropped off when Miller got hurt and Rousseau got the high ankle sprain. The pass rush did not recover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 15 hours ago, BADOLBILZ said: The Bills actually still overpay for average free agents........Daquan Jones is a steady $4M aav snap-sharing block absorber and they gave him about $7.5 aav for some reason........and the $6M for Rodger Saffold deal made no sense at all. The "Buffalo as a destination" value-acquisition-thing hasn't really materialized as promised. They keep some of their own on good deals and do actually get some cheap prove-it and ring chasing low end deals like Crowder and Quessenberry that they would have never gotten when they sucked though. The Bills do overpay, but I think it's a Bean thing more than anything else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he’s worth it on a team that doesn’t have a QB to pay. A luxury piece for a team with cap space. Put him next to a monster DT and see if you can unlock his potential, but we don’t have the luxury to pay a guy who is dependent upon us paying other guys to help him.
