Then you become the Saints for that 5 year or so period where they had Drew Brees and multiple other high level talented players and went 7-9 three years in a row.

I'd bet 95% of this board would trade three 7-10 seasons for a SB trophy. 

I watched since 1980. So I've seen the best and the worst the Bills have done after the merger.  I'd do anything for the feeling of winning one trophy even if it meant 3 years of no playoffs. Already lived through 17.

It had to be done. The pass rush was abysmal at the end of last season. 

 

You're not beating Mahommes and burrow without and adequate pass rush

Agreed. Not sure that it’s enough tho.

3 with heavy incentives would be the absolute floor to me and i'd be surprised if it were that low. Poona Ford got 2.25 himself. And you have to keep in mind, even 6m looks low for a high end FA pass rusher. So the agent may not be rushing to leak numbers even at that amount.

 

Jeremy Fowler reported that Floyd was the most sought after Pass Rusher and many teams were involved with one team beside us "heavily involved". So he had a market. I think in compared to most high end FA Pass Rushers, it will be a bargain. But barely above league minimum would be shocking to me.

 

EDIT: It just came out that it's a 7m dollar deal worth up to 9. That's about what I expected. And probably uses up anything we saved on an Oliver extension.

Sean Payton was the coach for 16 years and missed the playoffs 6 times with Drew Brees as his QB.  


If Sean McDermott wins it this year and we miss the playoffs for 3 straight years and then miss it a few more times over the next 7-8 seasons…Bills fans would be happy?

We will definitely be happy this year, in your scenario.

Well then maybe your GF should sign an NFL contract.  1-Techs are hard to come by so she would get a great offer.

This just made me question how good a coach Payton actually is.

I wonder if they added a void year to stretch out the cap hit.

 

I am sure they’re using multiple void years. They could even structure the contract so he’s cut with a 6/1 designation on day one of the next league year.

Then we would be greedy but let's laugh about that when we get there, shall we?

 Not quite this time…

 

His agent must be lazy…

 

You still holding out hope for D Hop? They will  need to restructure Tre and/or Dawkins now.. both are a gamble to kick their money further down the road

Skip the pass rush stuff; it doesn't translate enough to wins and losses.

 

Protect the QB? Hell yes.  I'd spend every dime on offense and just look to be league average at every position on D.

 

No pass rusher has ever won a championship for anyone.

 

 

Not a quibble   …   but Lawrence Taylor?  Reggie White had three sacks in XXXI, including a game ender.   Von Miller was a Super Bowl MVP.

Meh

 

the pass rush was dreadful so they needed someone but this guy was a bust until he got to play next to Aaron Donald.

 

my girlfriend could rack up 6-8 sacks playing next to Donald, Floyd won’t have that luxury here 


well, now with Miller, Oliver, groot and Daquan hopefully he can bring a little more noise than shaq/basham/epenesa

Right. Beane said from day 1 his main goal is consistency.  This is a guy that got a 4 year 64 mil extension in 2021, 16 mil per average with 33 guaranteed. He got released because they're in full rebuild mode.

 

This dude is borderline elite pass rusher. As expected,  he turned down more $ to come here, as Rappaport said.

If it was any position on D besides edge , I'd agree with that guy but a great pass rush is the main way to shut down these offenses. 

Luckily we also have a top 3 secondary,  so I love love love this move.

I was shocked we landed him for that price,  he wants another ring and I'm sure Von was in his ear big time behind the scenes.  This is a grand slam signing by Beane and has by far been his best off season yet. 

Our top 3!!! O improved at literally every position besides QB, C and LT 

 

We are loaded.
