Like Kyle worth a spot until he’s not. He and Dahlin have Shirley temples at the Pegula hiloday party Do you think the bartender IDs them at these parties?

thebandit27 Posted December 6, 2018 Posted December 6, 2018 Absolutely. He's been a great fit at the Sam, can give you snaps as a pass rusher, play ST in a pinch, and is a good locker room guy. I'd happily give him another year or two at $5M AAV.

boyst Posted December 6, 2018 Posted December 6, 2018 Yes. A year contract at a totes around $3.5mm is all I'd offer.
YoloinOhio Posted December 6, 2018 Author Posted December 6, 2018 I wonder if he would have an interest in coaching post-career. He seems to like the media stuff and may not want the time commitment of coaching, but I think he would be really good. Especially having experience at so many different positions and schemes.
TigerJ Posted December 6, 2018 Posted December 6, 2018 Yes, but the Bills need to be careful about the kind of contract they offer him. A multi-year deal with lots of guaranteed money ought to get them pause. A one or two year deal would be fine with a modest signing bonus.
ghostwriter Posted December 6, 2018 Posted December 6, 2018 Bring him back on a 1yr deal, but draft a young player to put behind him. 1

MrEpsYtown Posted December 6, 2018 Posted December 6, 2018 For sure. He is playing exactly where he should which is as a 2 down SAM and a nickel pass rusher. He does a lot of very nice things for our defense and special teams. I know a lot of people aren't into intangible stuff, but teh leadership and mentoring he offers is worth every penny, and he can still play at a high level. 1
Benjamin Franklin Posted December 6, 2018 Posted December 6, 2018 Yes, but Beane will be careful on guaranteed money and long term commitments. Older players have a habit of hitting the wall suddenly.
The_Dude Posted December 6, 2018 Posted December 6, 2018 1. Yes 2. I get the “Lorax” nickname, but honestly when I hear Lorax I think of bearded Ryan Fitzpatrick. That dude definitley speaks for the trees. 1
RyanC883 Posted December 6, 2018 Posted December 6, 2018 (edited) Yes. (1) LORAX is like James Harrison. He's playing his best ball in his 30's ;and (2) he can help our defensive Josh Allen (who may be BPA when we draft) get acclimated to the NFL! Or whoever we draft for OLB.

technobot Posted December 6, 2018 Posted December 6, 2018 I've been pleasantly surprised with Lorax this year; considering his age I thought he might fall off a cliff. Quite the opposite, he's playing his best football ever. I hope they do sign him. Agree with the sentiment that he provides a veteran presence and value on ST on top of his defensive performance. Even if he takes a step back he's of tremendous value for those two reasons, assuming he doesn't ask for a truckload of money (doesn't seem the type, will probably be happy with a "fair" contract assuming he still wants to play). Of course, try to draft/sign his eventual replacement, but keep him if he's interested. 1

Most seem to be offensive guys lately.

WMDman Posted December 6, 2018 Posted December 6, 2018 (edited) Yes 100 % Edited December 6, 2018 by WMDman
transplantbillsfan Posted December 6, 2018 Posted December 6, 2018 Both he and Kyle should be able to keep playing for Buffalo if they want. And McDermott loves both guys, so I think they're back.

1st Ammendment NoMas Posted December 6, 2018 Posted December 6, 2018 thumb up for Lorax. As long as he keep playing at his current level, he can play however long he wants.
