So we've lost Gilmore, Woods, and now Brown.

Wow, what a great off-season.

 

Can't keep everyone. And all of those players were massively overpaid to go elsewhere.

 

On one hand, you have Bills fans complaining that we are letting guys walk and that's why Doug Whaley sucks.

Then you have other Bills fans who complain we are "mismanaging the cap" and paying certain guys too much money.

Good ... What a head case...

Exactly. Over rated and not good for our defense

Quick update the comp picks thread

LMAO right? I mean because it means so much to have those

Gilmore wasn't overpaid. Spotrac calculated his fair market value at 5 years, $73.3M. He took a 5 year, $65M deal to join the Cheatriots.

I thought Woods was probably overpaid, but Spotrac calculated his FMV to be 4 years, $32.2M. He got 5 years, $34M. It doesn't look like he was overpaid either.

We don't even know what Brown's contract is. Kinda hard to make a call on that until the numbers are in. Spotrac has his FMV at 4 years, $18M. We will see on that.

One year deal, interesting that he vastly over estimated his own market.

 

Probably hoping to get his money in FA next year. I wouldn't blame the Bills if they had insisted on a multi year deal.

By my count our Bills lost 7/22 starters

Or 32% of our starting lineup

On offense WR #2 and WR #3

Or 18%

On defense, C#1, NC #1, S#1, S#2, ILB #2

Or 46%

The off season changes are bigger and bolder than anything Rex/DW did

So its a big transition year and I'm not even talking about all the depth changes

 

By my count we've yet to replace either WR, C#1, NC#1

Ragland replaces the lost ILB

And I know some here, including I, not so sure the S situation is any improvement

So I can't agree about the pronouncement that what we signed back is better than we lost

Sure, there still is the draft

However its seems we've lost more starting talent than we brought in

And we have more starting holes to fill than we started with

 

I think you have to ask yourself, will all these changes, project more wins?

If you think our new lineup is a cinch to win 10 games plus then who cares about not re-signing Brown, etc

However if look like a 6-7 win team its hard to say this has been a good off season

Lots of change folks...

I thought he fit our system but was over him 3 weeks ago

 

One thing Whaley knows how to do is sign lbs

Same here...I'm ready for some Haason Reddick

He made a lot of tackles. He also missed too many tackles.

 

On a lot of teams, the D is designed to have the line occupy the blockers so the LBs make tackles. It's not necessarily remarkable that a LB would do that, or a sign that he's always where he needs to be.

 

ZB was about as good as the rest of the D, on average. In other words, not good enough to pay a lot for him, which is likely what he thought he'd get.

#Redskins LB Zach Brown signed a 1-year deal worth a maximum value of $4.65M, source said. $500k signing bonus. Not bad this late in FA.

So nobody would do multiple years for a LB that age? I pictured a 3 or 4yr deal, given the circumstances. Thats a win for Washington since he'll be motivated for another contract next year.

Yea but we got the BBMB members so we won the off-season, right?

seems like he couldn't get anything more than 1 year

Gilmore is the only real loss out of the three.

 

Robert Woods was a loss but hopefully recoverable. He never gave up, played hard and blocked when ball was not going in his direction,

To get max value he probably needs to be voted MVP and be hero of Superbowl but the number is a good one agent can brag about. Previous agent predicting $9-10 million should not be working.
