I’d like to see the Bills bring back Shaq Lawson and pay him fairly.

He was a great soldier last year when we needed defensive help the most. He wants to be here and it would help keep continuity on the DL imo. I’m surprise this hasn’t happened yet, it looks like the money is the issue right now but with a little bit of effort this should get done fairly easily. A 1 year contract like Jordan Phillips’, would make the most sense at this time, you know with the salary restrictions that the Bills are currently facing. I’d also like to see this thread become a petition to help make this cause happen but if anybody disagrees then I’d like to know the reason(s) why, everybody has a right to their opinion so please let’s hear the pros and cons. Bring back Shaq!

Bring him back, he is a good rotational player.

I was surprised by Lawson last season. He still has some fire left. Would’ve preferred to bring him back instead of Phillips.

Although I'd only offer slightly above league minimum, I too would have preferred him back instead of Phillips, who is a complete sieve in run defense, and only flashes once in a blue moon with the pass rush. But hey he pumps up the drunks in the stadium 👍

Deep draft at def end this yr....

 

Shaq will be signed back if we don't land a mid to late guy.

 

Phillips brings a nice rush in the middle.  He should be used in pass rush situations only, at this point of his career.  Hoping we land another big 1 technique in the draft, that can be primarily used on early downs.

Nothing in the Phillips deal would preclude us from take bringing back shaq

Look out for Kingsley Jonathan in the mix of DE's for the Bills.  He's the undrafted kid from Syracuse and has major quickness off the ball.  I believe he is signed for this season and the next.

I would definitely like to see him get more time in the limited time he got last year he looked really good

He did have an excellent game vs. the Bears in the brief time he played.

There is a misconception that he was good last season........he had the same kind of modest impact that he had in 2017 and 2018 when he also played around 450-475 snaps and produced similarly.   The front office and fans alike were extremely disappointed in that version of Shaq and he had his 5th year option declined.   He is quite simply a league minimum player at this point.   Jordan Phillips should have been a league minimum only signing as well.

Nothing against Shaq as he played solid, but if we bring him back we are literally running it back with the same D line as last year that wasn’t good enough in the first place.

 

Add on Von coming off of an acl tear.

 

 

In fairness, your not getting anything better for less, or likely even more.
