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?"

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.


He is not going to outsnap Ed Oliver.

Oliver lead our team in snaps last year as a 25 year old.

 

A 30 year old DT is not coming in and becoming our snap count leader.  It will be Ed Oliver again, especially after his breakout year.

Hey - loosen up Mr. tight azz. Everybody has a right to dream a little. This is highly unlikely. But it's still fun to contemplate. It's what's great about sports. You must be great at parity's. I'm sure you've never bought a lotto ticket and dreamed a little? Go watch C-Span or something.

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 

He’s a beast when healthy. Problem being, he hasn’t been very healthy for the last couple years.  Battling numerous nagging injuries.  He’s a massive man.  Might be the body is breaking down.  
 

that said, he’s a beast when healthy and can be moved all around the line.  4th and short- Rousseau-Oliver-Daquan-Armstead.  Oh my 

 

would he take 5M to play 50% of the snaps?

No . Nor should he

But he might well be next in line for snap counts, due to versatility ?

I’d guess 3 years for 36 Million with incentives to 42 is a good offer. We’d add void years and bring the hit down this year

I'd be surprised if the Bills signed him.  It doesn't seem like a fit given their current cap situation.

Agreed. And they are already paying Oliver and jones pretty well


Hard to imagine they pay good money to 3 DTs in a tight cap situation

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.

I don’t think anyone is thinking that we’ll be matching any best offer for Armstead.  If you’ve made 80M in your career and had an opportunity to take a job in the same city as your wife’s medical practice and her family, would you?  I would assume she would love that.  Some hubbys do what makes their wives happy.  They’re swimming in $ already.  Happiness.

 

Jordan Poyer has made a fraction of what Armstead has made in his career and he signed a 2M deal to play in the city where his family lives.  I bet he could’ve gotten more than 2M on the open market.  But he didn’t care about the money in this case.  He wanted to be home with his family.  Maybe Armstead feels the same

Where are you getting ten teams competing for him from? Besides, we have zero depth at DT. I’m sorry but a draft pick isn’t going to be much of a difference maker.

Yes everyone knows adding old defensive lineman w super bowl pedigree like von Miller and linval Joseph is how you win championships

Nah, I wouldn’t pay him that much.  Not even close.  Dude is always broken.
