We’ve all seen flashes, but he put it altogether finally. Maybe he’s more relaxed now that he’s financially set. In 2019 he was a rookie, he was solid but not spectacular, still pretty good for a rookie. 2020 Ed dealt with Covid restrictions in the off-season which probably hurt his development and in 2020 he also had to play out of position playing more 1 tech with Star opting out of the season for Covid. 2021 I expected a breakout but I think Ed still had to be flexed into the 1-Tech a lot even with Star back, he had his best season but not a "breakout". 2022 with D.Jones, Settle and J.Phillips brought in I thought for sure the conditions for Ed during a contract year would be right for a "breakout" and Oliver dealt with an injury most of the season. He still was "solid" but he wasn't a dominant player either. I thought that 2023 they would just have Ed play out the 5th year option and hopefully get a very good season out of him before he walks and the Bills get a comp pick. Instead, the Bills signed him to a fairly big contract and he has the breakout season anyway. Likely I think being health and D.Jones playing the 1-Tech have led to this. But you are onto something that maybe the contract is less of a distraction for him. Either way the extension looks great.

He did make a vow after signing that he was gonna outperform the contract. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LyndonvilleBill Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 I would add that with McD calling a defense that is a little more aggressive, it seems to fit Oliver's personality better as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another diva that’s gonna want a new contract after a year of good play. That’s it, im convinced, we need to trade him at the deadline. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
