Lost

This deal is basically the same payout as Chandler Jones got from the Raiders...so everything seems on par as long as we have an out after 3 yrs.

Did you watch the Super Bowl?

6 years?? Hope he's still worth 20 mil/year at age 35.

I just don't like the Bills philosophy of build for depth and rotation. I would rather over pay a genuine playmaker and take the risk that he'll stay healthy all year than have a 4 player depth chart of mediocrity for the same value.

Reduce your percentages to a coin flip 50/50 against equally competitive teams and Bills have just a 6% chance of winning SB. So yeah, banking everything on one year doesn't sound wise in that scenario.

De'Vondre Campbell was far more productive than Edmunds in 2021 so if we're making that comparison and paying for productivity, not some false hope of potential, then no. 3 yrs 28 would be best offer I would be okay with to extend him.

More time the offense spends on the field, the better the defense looks

Wouldn't have expected it, but according to ESPN, Michael Vick also had hand size measured just 8.5 inches. On the flip side Josh Allen has the second largest hands in the NFL next to Russel Wilson at 10.15 inches

When was this? How do I not remember this play?

Packers had no problem dumping Favre for Rodgers when they drafted him. Will probably be same scenario

Right. If Edmunds purpose in our defensive scheme is not to make impact plays but solely to prevent big gains in the middle of the field, he hasn't even done that very well this season. I'd like to find a stat on this somewhere but I remember watching at least two games this season where we have given up season long plays to opposing team players down the middle of the field. One was the Derrick Henry 76 yd TD run(his longest of season) and I think both Mahomes and Edwards-Helaire had season long runs against the Bills. I'm sure there are plenty of others. We could honestly probably throw Tyrel Dodson or Mario Addison out there for majority of snaps and not see much drop-off in play.

So you're saying Edmunds is worth $12 million per year? This is my opinion, but aside from corner, MLB is our most pressing need on D. I'm good with drafting a CB. I'm good with drafting OL. Playing ILB in our defensive scheme is a lot more challenging and having someone who already is a proven playmaker and has experience is a huge bonus especially since most of our defensive draft picks in recent years haven't lived up to expectations. So yeah, I'm cool with trading Edmunds for a 2nd or 3rd round pick, picking up a mid tier UFA who will sign for less to replace him and perform better. It's quite possible other teams might over value him anyway just due to his athletic ability.

For where he was drafted and his current contract, Edmunds is absolutely a bust. He could surely be a serviceable LB somewhere in the league but that's it. He's not worth more than $6-8 million a year with his current performance. I'd prefer the Bills trade him for a more dominant and developed MLB instead of drafting another prospect.

Kwon Alexander

We need guys that play with more intensity on D. Aside from seeing Edmunds out of position on every other play I'm also so sick of seeing him just stop pursuing mid way through plays. Never puts his hands up to deflect passes even when the ball is thrown 6 inches over his head. The guy is an utter letdown. Also pretty sad that we can't have an Aaron Donald caliber player on the DL with the amount of draft picks we've wasted there the last few years. Maybe it is just the Defensive coaching....

Well when you hear someone say "out of position" and "seam route" when referring to the Bills defense, who's the first players name that jumps into your head? I know it's not nice to take jabs at Edmunds all the time but he is such an easy target. I like the guy on a personal level but we're about to pay him 12.7 mil next year. he's the 4th highest paid player on the team and least impactful. I'd rather give that 12 million to Gabe Davis or someone who actually shows up.

Have the Bills ever tried out blue helmets? I would like them to throw something like that into the mix once in a while...but with white face mask. Overall, I like the all white best currently.

What? Sorry, couldn't hear you

You're certainly not the first.

You're right. I assumed Edmunds because that's usually his zone but on that particular play to Kelce that got them into FG range it was Milano that was playing underneath.

Man I would love Bruce as a DC or as DL coach. He still has all the mental acuity he had while playing. Much respect

Haha, even Bruce Smith even blasts Edmunds for the Chiefs loss.

Flutie Flakes my man, we'll be choking on Flutie Flakes

Gabe Davis set an NFL Record for TDs in a single game and only making 1 mil a year. Tremaine Edmunds, 12.7 million and missing in action.

Yikes, how deep does this go?
