HappyDays Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 https://overthecap.com/player/david-edwards/7960 For all intents and purposes it's a 1 year deal. $2.3M cap hit in 2024, $875K dead cap hit in 2025. A bit of an overpay but I'm fine with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if we are cap strapped and counting pennies to sign at other positions then I let Edwards walk and use a rookie or vet minimum guy be our OL depth and extra OL. But at most its like a $1.3M overpay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbowman14 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Would McGovern slide to C and Edwards to LG now if Morse is injured? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njbuff Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 I can’t remember the last time that going into the offseason that the OL really wasn’t a concern. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit of an overpay but I'm fine with it. I see both sides. On the surface, it is slightly rich for a backup IOL. Ideally, those guys are young guys making nothing. If they held on to Jack Anderson or Nick Broeker, they would be minimum guys who are fine as depth. At the same time, I think Edwards is a premier backup because he could easily start for a lot of teams, has a ton of experience, and is still young. He also got a decent amount of burn as that heavy H back. You also have two starting OL in Torrence and Brown who make nothing, so it makes sense to spend some money on a guy who was reliable last year and premier depth. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not an overpay at all for a depth piece like Edwards. Yeah they could’ve gone with a minimum salary guy or rookie but now you’re sacrificing experience and/or talent. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. It's common to spell out players if they need a rest. Also for use in Jumbo packages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bray Wyatt Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 1 hour ago, BuffaloBill said: Explains the Bates move - solid signing and good for the Bills to pick up draft capital. The o-line has been a bright spot. I dont think its a coincidence that we saw improvement on the OL in year 2 of Kromers return 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat68 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 He is the prefered back up over Bates imo. Center will be addressed at some point in the draft I assume. Edwards is a starting caliber guard. Not Mcgovern or Torrence but solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He came in when the Bills went with a big package as, basically, a big blocking tight end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
