BuffaloRush Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 I am shocked that both EJ Gaines and Preston Brown have not gotten new deals. EJ Gaines especially was projected to make $8-$9M a year. Preston even was going to get $7 M. That won’t happen now, but with EJ it makes me wonder whether the Bills can make a short term deal within the $4-$6M range. 1
Lurker Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 The longer they linger, the more chance they have to re-sign with the Bills. I would be happy if both guys returned... 4
Chandler#81 Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 Their presumed asking price is very high, but it’s only Day 2. Hope they both remain Bills. 2
Rubes Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 I'm not sure I would go so far as to say the market has dried up one day into Free Agency. But I would definitely like to see us re-sign both of them. 1

JerseyBills Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 Would love to have EJ back. Davis and White can play slot. Awesome trio. 1
Estelle Getty Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 I know he played well but not sure what everyone thought the market would be for a 5-10 corner who played 8 games last year and had 1 interception.
Clyde Smith Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 Not only those two, but Matthews is still a FA. 1

MrEpsYtown Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 EJ is a very specific scheme fit with injury issues. It’s in his best interests to come back to us and prove that this year wasn’t a fluke. Preston is slow and can’t cover. Not really coveted in today’s NFL. I could see him going somwhere like Green Bay to play inside in a 3-4. He’s a 2 down backer and he likes the Patriots so f him. 1

Da webster guy Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 they're opposites Preston never missed an NFL game in 4 years, London Fletcher is the only LB I've ever heard of with a streak like that. Gaines hurt frequently but exceptional talent when healthy Preston never hurt but has significantly less range than most LB's. 1
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 Could be the Bills have made offers very close to what they'e got from other teams so they are trying to get a little more someplace else and then bring that to the Bills to match. And at the same time Buffalo has probably given them a deadline or they are moving on to option B or C And BTW, why does everyone suddenly want EJ Manual back anyway??
K-9 Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 Can’t be a surprise to anyone that Brown hasn’t been signed yet. Gaines’ situation is a little surprising but understandable given his availability issues.
