If I have to spell it out for you I will

 

We do not have a personnel problem on defense. Our defense routinely bodybags the regular season. We have a postseason coaching/philosophy problem on defense


this may be part of the problem for sure. Getting a player who has been to multiple Super Bowls from a great defense can certainly help

with the way we value rotation and versatility on the DL Beane was probably going crazy when he found out about Armstead.  
 

Not to mention the guy is a multi-year team Captain on a great defense & Walter Man of the Year nominee 4 times
 

Once we hear his best offer, Beane can pull whatever levers are needed

 

I see you dodged the second part 😆

Over Oliver? No way.

Like I said if you actually follow football you would know he would be a starter on the Bills. Yes way. 

Add up snap percentage and by the end of the year his would be higher than Olivers or Jones.

It would have to be a financial sacrifice that would still result in a decent payday, where the payoff is greater domestic happiness, and an appreciative wife. Somehow, I don't find that notion completely impossible to believe. Human flourishing can't just be summed up by  purely economic calculation.

 

Again, I find it very funny to me how quickly everyone is to once again pile all sorts of money into the Defensive Line after years of running Beane over the coals for it. 

 

Now it's just like - "big name FA?"

What I want are difference makers. If we can add one that makes a difference on the DL, and grab another at WR in the draft, I think I'm okay with that.

And probably it won't happen, but you know, life is too short not to have fun with something that doesn't really cost anything but permitting a little bit of hope, even if it's unlikely.

💯 great post.  


His family and future generations are set for life.  If you reach that point in life, I feel one should live where they can spend as much time as possible with their loved ones.

Also,despite being injured he still had 8 or 9 pressures, so there's that.

 

Armstead WOULD be starting.

yes I think this is true as well. or at least getting i higher percentage of snaps due his very good abilities to play all  along the line

 This one would have me (GM) thinking pretty hard. Even at 31

If he is back to completely healthy ? have to look hard at this one

A couple true Alpha difference makers vs. Rotating JAG's would be nice.

I mean the guy is a good player but how many Dlineman do we need? Seriously..it’s nice to have these guys buy you have a lot of holes. I truly don’t even want this guy if not only because we need too much. You 


They do need an upgrade there and Armstead is a massive talent upgrade. IMO, there are two ways to beat Mahomes…sack him or score 60

If that's what Beane chooses to do, hey, it's his team. I wouldn't hate having him on the team.

 

But if we've got the money to match the best offer in a 10 team market battle for a big star like Armstead - than that's money that should go to an Offensive piece, in my opinion.

 

The board has been saying that for years. It's wild to me that everyone's now doing a 180.
