Pyrite Gal Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 I am happy as well, but have no illusions that while he is a helpful contributor to the team, he is a player who can fill in the right spot at the right cost but he is not a player to build around. Â The bottomline is while I am happy he is here it needs to be at the right cost. I'm not certain what that exact amount is under the new salary cap amount, but even though signed a year later under the new cap his contract amount should be no where near what we paid to resign fellow DE Schobwl who not only gets more sacks, but covered better in the zone blitz, was comparable as a run stopper but does not have the motor Schobel has.

2003Contenders Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 My guess is that when it's all said and done, we'll find that he signed in the same $1M per year range that we've been signing most of the 2nd tier guys that we've brought in -- and that the contract is back-loaded with a minimal signing bonus.

BillsGuyInMalta Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 A few years ago if you told me I'd be glad we re-signed Ryan Denney, I'd tell you to slap me.

ACor58 Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Denney intrigues me.

scribo Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 I like Marv's tactics with the Bills' free agents so far. Let them go out and test the market. This way we don't overpay and they feel like they got a fair shake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll lose the occasional great player to somebody who is willing to offer the extravagant contract, but more often than not you'll keep your role players (and potential starters) at a reasonable cost.

We were looking at Jared Devries and I wondered about Denny. Denny has accomplished more than Devries. Â Good move. We still need a run stuffer (Ngata/ Bunkley) and another DE.

I am thinking that Denney is as good a backup DE that does exist. At his age, he is entering his prime as well. Â DEs that can play at all are VERY hard to get. It's all good.

He is a special project, hasn't played in a few years. We will probably draft a DE in the later rounds or get more bodies as RFA's. Â DT is the area that need much work (as does the OL).
