Looks like Leonard Floyd won't give the Bills a discount to resign him.

He was coming off a 9 sack season and still available pretty late into FA. I don't expect that to change being a year older now. I'd say there is a chance we see him back on a one or two year deal a bit later in the FA cycle. A 2 year deal with a small pay bump makes sense.

He signed very late and may have turned down better offers early then had to settle…

 

I don’t think they will even want him back next season… they need a longer term solution ..

Impact player in first half of season then disappeared.  Move on, get younger. 

Yeah two completely different halves. Someone did say he was dealing with a shoulder injury, so that may explain it.

Disagree completely.

 

I think the knock on him last year was he was considered a bit of a bust when he was signed by the Rams. Then he took off. But a lot of people thought it might have just been playing alongside Aaron Donald.

 

So he literally had to sign a "prove it" deal with us. He proved it. His market will be better this year.

I would rather re-sign Epenesa than re-sign Floyd, especially if we're talking similar $$$. 

It’s a great question.  Do you go with the younger guy who is less productive or the older guy who is more productive. 
 

I’m a UGA guy, so I’m partial to Floyd, but Epenesa had a breakout year and I can see him having more upside going forward and this team needs to get younger.  My other thought is try to get an edge rusher in the draft.  I think we could get lucky and someone like Chris Braswell could fall to us in 3rd round.
