Immense physical talent and being in the right spot is what makes him a really frustrating player. I think we can all agree that he has to start making some game changing plays. I can live with the 5th year option being exercised because he’s still only 23 years old but there’s no way I’m committing more money to him beyond 2022 without some difference making plays this year.

Hopefully the most expensive DL part ends after this year. Hughes, Addison and Star are most likely playing their final season with Bills. Butler’s contract is up too. Our defensive ends should be cost controlled for at least the next 3 years with epenesa, Rousseau, and Basham.

Seems like the spin is already being put out. I’d think it hugely matters to the player whether the 5th year option is picked up. These guys are 1 play away from serious injury. $12.7m guaranteed is a big deal and it signals where they are on the totem pole of the organization. Every player drafted in front of him had their 5th year option exercised except Rosen.

There’s zero reason for Ertz to show up to anything. Eagles decided against long term extension. This is last year on his deal and none of the $8m remaining is guaranteed. Eagles could cut him on August 31 and he’d get no money.

I’m not looking for the Pulitzer Prize in investigative journalism, but I don’t think it’s too much to ask that one Bills reporter be non-shill and brave enough to ask a follow up to Beane that he couldn’t seriously be contemplating not exercising Josh’s 5th year option.

Doesn’t take a curmudgeon to state the obvious that the only real decision to be made is Edmunds. I mean Darnold got his 5th year option exercised.

Most teams have announced their plans regarding 5th year options. Kind of bizarre that Beane is waiting this long. Josh is obviously getting his option exercised. Edmunds is the only decision that has to be made. Reporters who cover the Bills not doing their jobs very well by not pressing Beane for an answer about Edmunds and allowing Beane off the hook with his semi-nonsensical answer tying the decisions together.

How’s this for a way back comp. Ted Hendricks. The Stork. Interestingly enough, Hendricks also grew up in Hialeah and went to the U.

6’7” with 6’11” wingspan and 11 inch hands with good closing speed and the body control to slither past blockers is rare. Have no idea how he didn’t end up on a basketball court. He’s Scottie Pippen plus 50 pounds of muscle. You just don’t see length like that on an NFL field. Excited to see what he can become.

‘Fire Howie’ chants are being started at Phillies games. This video feeds the flame.

Really not that hard to understand the title. Thought it was funny and witty.

Roseman trading down 3 spots for a 6th rounder and Donahue giving him the heisman when howie comes into draft room to get some self-adulation is priceless. I hope Beane and the rest of the GM’s in on Ertz if there are any call this chiseler’s bluff.

Gotta be a 1 tech DT at 93 right?

Prediction: Ertz or Sherman will be a Bill by tomorrow.

I think they keep Hughes and Addison. Best 2 of Epenesa, Rousseau, and Basham play.

What is the point of this thread? Might as well compare Rousseau to Erik Flowers. He’s about as relevant as Maybin.

Wilson should command a lot of respect in an NFL locker room. Looks like an 18 year old Jimmy Claussen.

Not saying Fromm is their answer either, but teams take shots all the time on QB’s in the early 4th and there’s a dearth of developmental QB’s in this draft.

Because Fromm would be a late 3rd/early 4th in this draft. Hurts isn’t the answer but Roseman didn’t want to go with Fields or Jones this year for whatever reason. Fromm is good value for Ertz.

Sign Sherman, trade Fromm for Ertz, take OL at pick 61. Take 1 tech at pick 93.

If we’re looking for player comps, his physical profile is a slightly longer Carlos Dunlap

Yep. An under-rated skill for a pass rusher. Mobile QB’s will not move around the pocket all day against this guy. His inspector gadget arms and ability to close are what stand out. If he was playing Addison’s role against Arizona, there no way Murray even gets off the Hail Mary.

Rousseau is a pretty unique player. Whereas most edge rushers win with their get/off and explosiveness, he wins with length and slippery-ness. He doesn’t stay blocked. He’s the opposite of a guy like Oweh who is all twitch and never gets home.

I don’t hate it. He could be really good.

JOK or Tryon. New Orleans gonna take Samuel.
