re-sign McGovern and edwards

[billsfan89]

I think resigning both is unlikely. Just cap wise and how well both guys are playing I don't see them being able to keep both. But I would strongly hope they could at least keep one. Keeping one means you keep 80% of a very strong O-line in place and you could probably replace one with SVPG or Andersen and draft some depth and competition.

Depends on how much the Bills like their depth. If they feel SVPG is ready to take over at center or someone else can take over LG, then probably not. I'm sure the Bills will extend an offer to both, not sure if they want to hit FA or stay 

Even if this were a given, im keeping McGovern first. Versatility, been here longer, got that dogg. I know edwards playing outta his mind too though.

This. That's why they drafted to have this deep line room.

Of course they don’t WANT to trade him. They can’t have that much tied up in the OL. Brown and Dawkins are signed and at least one of the other 2 will be. Torrence is looking at a deal north of the 5 year $100M ($63M guaranteed) that Robert Hunt signed. That cap space needs to be allocated elsewhere. The Bills have done well finding OL. Maybe they plug Anderson into that spot?

 

The hypothetical I threw out was Torrence and a 2 or 3 for Higgins? I don’t know the contract specifics but it makes sense for both sides from a football standpoint. The Bills get more balanced and the Bengals get their best OL.

Oh wow I was on board through the first paragraph already, but Higgins?!? I probably laugh at someone else saying this, but from you, it makes me think im out of line.

 

I know its not probable to happen, but you think thats fair trade territory on compensation? For a guard? albeit an incredibly good/young/durable one.

When Brown was resigned, it was a big number, but I think the bills could get out of the contract after 2 years (this offseason).

 

I do believe one of the interior guys is gone this offseason but, if we cut/traded brown maybe we can keep the interior 3 together.  Just another option

Brown is an absolute bargain!  There is no way they try and get out of his contract!

the title says it all. any idea if they stay? what are we looking at for contract?

 

How much does each one want per year?

What will they sign in Buffalo for?

 

Right now, Edwards Market Value in Spotrac is $20M per year.

McGovern is $16M.

 

I want Bosa, those guys and others.  I just don't see everyone getting signed.  

Currently Bills have 40 players signed and $7M in cap space.

Don't forget that Grable is still on the team and would be a strong candidate to replace Edwards at LG, assuming his concussion issues are behind him. If he's healthy and ready to come off IR, I wouldn't have been shocked to see Van Demark included in a trade package for a DT earlier this week. Since that didn't happen, it seems the team is content to keep Grable on IR for the year, unless there's an injury the creates a hole in O-line depth. Hopefully there isn't a longterm concern with the concussion he suffered in training camp.

Considering the Bills are now a run first offense that has the #1 run offense I'd say they are better off keeping the best O line players that they can find. Better to pay the O line players over a #1 WR that could cost 30 million plus. Game are won in the trenches!

Sign Torrance and McGovern and either Anderson or day two pick to replace Edward’s. 

Probably this.  Torrence needs to be here long term.

[BlueRed]

It seems McGovern has been playing through a few injuries this year too if I remember correctly he had a Hand issue in one game and wears that giant elbow brace. 
With it being a contract year I’m sure he’s playing through everything as much as he can but something I’d keep a close eye on the rest of the year as you don’t want to hand a big new contract to someone whose body is on the verge of falling apart.

This post says it all. Are we really going to invest ~60 million a year on interior O linemen? I’ll take Bosa for three years at 20+/per over any of them. 

I’m thankful for them and I want them but that feeling goes down every dollar over 15m.

Thank god

We're probably only going to be able to keep at Max 2 of McGovern Edwards and Torrance 

 

 

I've got to think Sedrick Van Pran-Granger will replace one of them.

Lol, you can’t tie up the percentage of cap space in your OL that it will take. It’s not that simple!! Your tackles are highly paid. Torrence will get a contract at or above what Hunt got (5 years $100m and $63M guaranteed). It’s just not feasible to do. The Bills can get Edwards and McGovern for that. 
 

Let me ask what’s better Anderson/Higgins or Torrence/Coleman? Those are the types of decisions that are being made. We all think Torrence is good but business decisions must be made. He has excellent value. Of course he’s very good. You’re using that to improve elsewhere. You’re betting on the delta from Torrence to Anderson is smaller than the delta from Coleman to Higgins (as an example).

I thought they’d re-sign McGovern and restructure this past offseason, and free up some cap space.  The fact that they did not, and our 2026 cap situation, there is a good chance he gets PAID as FA.  They must really like SVPG.  Edward’s, Torrence- we won’t keep them all, and all be paid big time.  
 

Thsys why I doubly upset that we didn’t get Josh a great WR this year, returning the whole entire OL, and backup OL, RB stacked, TE stacked, we couldn’t 29 YO Josh 1 more great WR.  Next year Bills will need LB, S, OL, CB- and WR will be the last priority once again I’m guessing

 

"RB stacked"??  Johnson and Davis have a combined 118 yards rushing.    The running game begins and ends with Cook.  He goes down, these 2 career JAGS aren't going to fill that void.

[AlCowlingsTaxiService]

No. You can’t keep resigning everyone. One of these guys will move on. I’m pretty confident that one of our depth linemen will be ready for a starting role next season. 

[NoSaint]

I’m going to say that we’ve watched kromer do amazing things developing guards here 

 

in going to point out how well he did with Jahri evans, and Carl nicks in New Orleans 

 

im comfortable with Aaron kromer being the special sauce and spending foundational money elsewhere 

[Aussie Joe]

Both are late 20s and will be chasing top dollar in what will likely be their last big payday ( Edwards hasn’t even had one previously )  … I think both will walk this offseason…

 

Spotrac have valuations of McGovern - $16m and Edwards $20m 😮… yes they have been wrong plenty of times previously …. But someone will pay him more than the Bills will..

 

Beane will need to go back to chasing comp picks next season when these two walk…

 

 

[gonzo1105]

Torrence will be the one gone. He’s young in his prime and will cost too much to retain. I’m actually surprised that one of Edwards or McGovern hasn’t been locked up already to be honest
