26CornerBlitz Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 Rosenthal: Free Agents Who Could Be Overpriced Combine the copious amount of salary-cap space across the NFL with a shallow free-agent class, and it's easy to envision some bloated contracts materializing this month. With free agency opening at 4 p.m. ET on Wednesday, March 14, Gregg Rosenthal takes a look at the players most likely to be overpriced. Sammy Watkins, wide receiver Nate Solder, offensive tackle Jimmy Graham, tight end Star Lotulelei, defensive tackle (Bills' target?) Case Keenum, quarterback (Bills' target?) Offensive linemen coming off injury
BobChalmers Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 Gosh it sure is sad Watkins isn't our problem right now... 1
RyanC883 Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 I don't get the feeling that our FO will be overpaying for anyone. And I agree, glad Watkins is not our problem. I wonder if Graham takes an incentive-laden contract in NO?

baskingridgebillsfan Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 there are several high end guys available but after that it is a big pile of junk. If they find two starters out of the free agent pool it will be a job well done

Tipster19 Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 I have a hunch that Keenum isn’t gonna get a huge contract and if the Bills were to pursue him I bet that they could get him for a very reasonable contract. I can’t wait to see what happens in this QB carousel.

Trading a 1st round WR (that the team traded up for) for a DB who will likely be gone after 1 season as a Bill and a 2nd round pick----only to re-sign the same WR for a "bloated" FA contract? "winning"...

The experts here say he will get signed for much less. I'm not sure how it couldn't be a win to keep the player and get a 2nd rounder , but OK.

Even top ten would put him over 13 million a year.

It doesn't mean he will get it, according to the experts on this board. I was not a proponent of trading Watkins and would not have done it. However, if it meant a one year exile and re signing the player PLUS a second round pick I would consider it a win, yes. Watkins 5th year option would have been $ 14mil for the 2018 season anyway. It's purely hypothetical and won't happen anyway.

WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 Don't get me wrong, I would absolutely take Watkins back but I really don't see him doing it. He made some comments that he was unhappy here, and he wants to get PAID. I don't see Beane cracking open the piggy bank for him.
