Anyone up for adding an edge rusher before the draft?

I think it’s necessary. 
 

Whoever we sign will have to take near minimums I think, 1 year deals. 
 

Bills pulled one of their last cap relief levers with the $2M release of McKenzie.

 

The Bills also need to add a 4th DT.

 

$1.5M for Shaq Lawson

 

$1.5M for Jordan Phillips

Campbell can still play. 


Frank Clark / Shaq Lawson

 

And then I do think we have a DT need. 
 

Beane is talking about adding a larger back, but I don’t think we need an older veteran, low draft pick would be my preference.

 

Spotrac has Bills at $10M in cap space.

Not really interested in Phillips or Lawson.

 

One can’t stay healthy and the other doesn’t provide enough juice given Von may miss time and AJ/Basham can’t really be depended upon to make a jump.  
 

If we don’t trade Oliver, just draft a a space eating DT in RD3 or RD4.  We have nobody under contract for ‘24. 
 

As for EDGE.. unless we’re signing Wagner, I think spending on someone with legit pass rush ability has to be the move.

So more like Campbell (inside/out) and Frank Clark.

 

I’m just thinking about who will come cheaply.

 

Beane sounded like he didn’t want to push much more into the future. 
 

But DT is going to need planning because nobody is under contract after 2024.

I think you’re right.

 

Despite the money challenges, the Bills need to try and improve the talent level rather than defaulting back to who’s been here.

Hard pass signing one of these guys. But yes, Bills do need another pass rusher opposite Rousseau. Miller returning by October is absolute best case scenario...but at what effectiveness?

 

Unfortunately, and yet again, Beane will need to go DL by day 2 of the draft.

With Von likely do back around late September that leaves an edge spot open on the roster anyone open to a stop gap like Clowney, Clark, or Ngakoue? 

Justin Houston

Ingraham

 

seems like they both have juice in em and played for 3 & 4m last year. unreal bargain

I would rather draft a speed pass-rusher in the middle rounds of the draft. Pass rushers are expensive in the open market and we need that money to add another offensive lineman, safety, and slot receiver.

we should def add another somewhere after the 3rd rd, depending on how our draft goes
