MasterStrategist Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Nice job by Beane and team. Re-watch the games from LY, and Ed disrupted alot of games in the 2nd half of season (when his ankle healed). Beane mentioned a few times, unprovoked, that they'd like to extend Gabe and Ed this offseason. The $$$ might seem high to some, but it's not a top 10 deal and Ed is a young/core player in our defense. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuntieEm Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 3 hours ago, Mikie2times said: That was one of my first thoughts. Maybe freeing up space for Hopkins? Maybe he's a piece in some trade but the other team wanted him under more contract years and they could have gave Beane a number they'd be willing to pay Oliver. Can't say that I th ink he earned that money, hoping they know something we don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

julian Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 4 minutes ago, PBF81 said: I just read that it's the 6th most guaranteed money for a DT. The opinions in that piece are primarily negative and mirror mine. Here's a quote from someone in another Bills forum: I generally agree with that. I don't know what the cap implications are for this year, a lot of times when they make a signing like this it alleviates the cap for this particular season. The tradeoff is often in guaranteed money. Not sure how or whether it did that, but that's an awful lot of guaranteed money for Oliver. If he doesn't improve then it will have proven to have been a bad signing. Here's the thing, his biggest knock is that he's undersized, unless this signing makes him get bigger it doesn't alter a glaring weakness. My first thought was that this was done for future cap reasons combined with a lack of DT talent in our pipeline, really none to speak of, nothing that warrants re-signing in the next couple of years. If that's the reason why it was done, while acquiescing to seemingly average play at the position, IMO it was a very unwise decision that merely kicks the can of future team-building issues down the road a season or two. We will see, time will tell. Not a thing that anyone here says will change anything. That much we know. I have no reason to doubt you and the 6th highest guaranteed money claim, that is too much guaranteed money for Oliver at this point imho. Looks like it’s a decision they’ve made based on a multiple of factors, many of which fans are not privy. I’m also hoping making room for an acquisition was part of the decision and that Ed pops off and we feel much better about the contract in November than we do now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warriorspikes51 Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 I wanted DaQuan extended. Not thrilled about this contract, but I suppose if he takes a step forward this season it’s fine. Though I see no reason to expect he should. Maybe the staff and front office do from OTA’s 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdand12 Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 38 minutes ago, John from Riverside said: Yeah, I’m not talking about position for say, I’m talking about tying money into the defensive line Since we give this massive contract to Oliver, what does that mean for DaQuan Jones and Poona Ford Edmonds got straight paid way more than the bills wanted to pay. If Edmonds would’ve taken middle of the pack, middle linebacker money he might still be here. I am glad he is gone for many reasons But the first one is that Bills Coaching needed to change up what they were doing on the field. Overdependent on Tremaine Now we have no start LB beyond Milano This season should be fun to see how they play Defense 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. WEO Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 8 minutes ago, BillsFanForever19 said: If you think they wouldn't have kept Edmunds had he not cost $72m, you're kidding yourself. they had the chance to lock him up (as many teams do of their top 1 st round picks on the roster) last year, his 4th season—for less than that. They chose not to. So there was no chance they were going pay even more this year. so nah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may not know much about DT play but I've had plenty of opportunities to watch Ed play. And he's not worth this big a contract.
