Colorado^ had a good explanation above, but I do believe the bills can sign him to a 2-3 year deal to lower the cap hit Technically he can sign a multi-year contract for any amount of money BUT only after the original team waves the "tender" option. In essence he will be an UFA and can sign with the team for any terms after March 15th, but the original team could lose him to anyone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royale with Cheese Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Decent depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColoradoBills Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 I think the original round tender is a good move by Beane. He can let Dane see what he is worth and then Beane can match if he likes it. If some team throws some money at Dane (which is a possibility) Bills will get a 7th round pick. A 2nd round tender is $4.9M which is too much for Dane IMO. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's our most physical corner, and great depth behind White, Elam & Johnson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills would still have easy out in 2025 for $1mil No. I don't. Because I think he'd get a better offer than that on the open market. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Hyde going down so early, it can be a little of an adjustment when not having that kind of help and trust over the top you're used to having. Anyway, I don't know if that scary injury may have been a factor...but I feel like he played better before than after the injury. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not a starter, no doubt. But as a depth/fill in guy, he’s fine IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a couple of pass breakups that day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAJBobby Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 (edited) Wanted him for cheaper like Dodson and Lewis. But Dane flipped his good play into holding out for the higher $$$ tender. Edited March 15, 2023 by MAJBobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCBills Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 If we get Dane Jackson back for 2.7M, I’ll take it. He’s good depth and a spot starter that can hold it down pretty well, comparatively to CB depth in the league. Given the strength of this FO in drafting Day 3 secondary players, I’d almost rather they just let Dane walk and draft a guy to be CB4 .. unless the plan truly is to transition Benford to Safety .. in which case having Dane back as primary depth makes a lot of sense.
