BillsVet Posted November 29, 2018 Posted November 29, 2018 Sams aren't on the field much of the time and so investing big dollars there doesn't get this team much closer to 10+ wins. With the league dominated by passing, teams are more likely to have 2 LBs on the field, and in the 40 front that's the Will and Mike. Buffalo seems to have those 2 in Milano and Edmunds. No one knows who the UFAs will be when the new league year opens in March 2019. But if they're using big money on any UFA defender, it's the wrong answer to their issues.
Guest K-GunJimKelly12 Posted November 29, 2018 Posted November 29, 2018 (edited) Don't we mainly run a nickel defense? Milano Edmunds Johnson is basically the starting lineup. If we didn't have Milano I would be interested but considering where the NFL is now, aren't we better off with those 3 as the starters over Milano Edmunds and Barr. It would seem to me that Barr would take Johnson off the field and make the defense worse overall. Plus you are going to have to pay Milano in a couple years and Edmunds down the line. Based on the cost and where the game is today, I think we are far better off with what we have now. Try to add some cheaper depth at linebacker and pay to bring in offense is where I think we should go. Edited November 29, 2018 by K-GunJimKelly12
CBD Posted November 29, 2018 Posted November 29, 2018 Alexander is on the field for only about 54% of the plays. If he comes at a reasonable price, sure. But I'm not willing to sign a player for a large amount of money if there isn't an every down role for that player.

Having more than one bruiser is a good idea against teams like Jacksonville, teams who rely heavily on the run. It’s just a waste of resources in today’s day and age imo. We have two very young and promising LBs. That’s what you need in today’s nfl. Our 3rd LB has been very productive and is a locker room/culture perfect fit. I’d rather him play than overpay for a luxury. Too many holes on O to sign a 3rd LB that will probably be the 3rd highest paid player on the team. Pass Agree to disagree.

We have over $90 million to spend next year. Can you imagine Anthony Barr Next to Tremaine Edmunds? Tremaine Edmunds - 6’5 250 Anthony Barr - 6’5 255 Concentrate on offense and CB in the draft. I think he could do well in the hybrid role Zo plays.
Royale with Cheese Posted November 29, 2018 Posted November 29, 2018 If we're going to put down a lot of money on one defensive player, I would much prefer it to be a pass rusher. You can never have too many of those. Fix the offense first....make that $12 million dollars invested now go up by 3 times at least.
CuddyDark Posted November 29, 2018 Posted November 29, 2018 I don't like his fit. I'd rather get Devin White or some kid in the 3rd. Maybe Khalil Hodge in the 5th. 1

Cut his reps and just letting him go after the QB seems doable. 1
Dablitzkrieg Posted November 29, 2018 Posted November 29, 2018 Barr is good in Madden, but in reality, very overrated imo. Hard pass
GETTOTHE50 Posted November 29, 2018 Posted November 29, 2018 Plz keep Lorax. I want him to retire as a bill.
NewEraBills Posted November 29, 2018 Posted November 29, 2018 I'd rather draft Josh Allen as he can play the strong side linebacker position AND give the defense pass rush potential in sub packages. That's the smarter move IMO.

Not many great WR or OL available. Its pretty week year for Offensive players in free agency. I think they will use the High Draft picks on offensive players and try and help the defense at DE, LB and CB in free agency. 30 minutes ago, GETTOTHE50 said: Plz keep Lorax.

1st Ammendment NoMas Posted November 29, 2018 Posted November 29, 2018 Like everything else, if the price is right and he fits our process and cap, then go for it. But this is not a primary need. OL #1. WR #2 TE #3 RB #4 CB #5 LB #6 DE/DT #7

He's the top UFA on my list for the Bills, as while it's hard not to love LorAx the truth is I don't know how much gas he has in the tank. Edited November 29, 2018 by The Jokeman
LABILLBACKER Posted November 29, 2018 Posted November 29, 2018 As much as I'd love to have Barr, we need oline and wrs. Start building this team around Allen.
ctk232 Posted November 29, 2018 Posted November 29, 2018 2 hours ago, wppete said: He had a horrible game against the Bills. But he is still one of the top LBs in the league and perfect fit for our 4-3 scheme in a position of need. I really hope it happens. He might fill a Lorax role in a 4-3 but wouldn't spend enough time on the field to justify his contract though. We run Nickel packages most of the time with two true LBs and Lorax filling the rush LB role along the line. I like Barr but the fit and role he would fill in this defense doesn't necessarily align with what we'd likely have to pay him. Especially when it comes time to extend Tre, Edmunds, and Milano. I am tempted though, as Lorax won't be around much longer, but I feel his position replacement is more cheaply and efficiently addressed through this draft, even future drafts if Lorax sticks around another year or two. Given Barr's development thus far, it's more likely a good draft pick yields more upside for the contract if addressed properly. 1
