BuffaloBillyG Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 (edited) Many saw this coming with the trade of Bates. Really good value for Edwards IMO. Edited March 6 by BuffaloBillyG 17 4 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logic Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 I already liked the Bates trade, but now I REALLY like it. Between VanDemark, Edwards, and Alec Anderson, our OL depth is off to a good start. As for Edwards...any time you can sign a capable guard (who also essentially plays tight end in jumbo sets) to a fair deal, it's always a good day. Congrats, David "TE3" Edwards. 12 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen2D̶i̶g̶g̶s̶TBD Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 He played very well when in the lineup last season and $3 Million per year for a starting quality guard is a great deal. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warcodered Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Alec Anderson and Edwards there's our solid interior O-line depth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stlbills13 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Edwards is solid and really thrived in that 6th oline/3rd te role. Good to get those kind of roles filled so we can concentrate on the big dogs we need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCBills Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 (edited) We pretty much have our 8 Gameday Active OL set on March 6th. Really nice group. Talented across the board. Good mix of veteran and youth on the starting line, with a starting caliber veteran depth OG/Jumbo TE and two developmental players that the staff is high on that are now entering multiple years in the system.

BuffaloBill Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Explains the Bates move - solid signing and good for the Bills to pick up draft capital. The o-line has been a bright spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whkfc Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 I liked Edward's he fills that blocking TE spot while also being a starter quality back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Yea he is better than Bates. Looking at those numbers I'm expecting $1.2m 2024 base salary guaranteed and $0.8m pro-rated bonus. Cap hit in 2024 of about $2m. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billl Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 What's the story with this guy? Just saw that he played offensive snaps in 15 regular season games and both postseason games but never more than 37% of them. Why was there a rotation at Guard? I've never heard of that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Success Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Beane has done a great job building the line, both starters & depth. Really, the most important unit when you have a true franchise QB. 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There wasn't. He played a handful of snaps for McGovern when he got dinged up here and there and had to come out. Played a few games late in games we had well in hand. Bulk of his snaps came and "6th OL/TE eligible" role. He's very solid at that spot. Edited March 6 by BuffaloBillyG 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frostbitmic Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Will he be the backup Center as well as the #3 Guard ? ... IIRC he backed up Bates there last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have realized that given that I watched Buffalo jam it down the Chiefs' throat in the first half of the divisional round using an extra lineman. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will be their primary guard backup and the jumbo package tackle. I imagine Alec Anderson and a draft pick will end up battling out for backup center. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
