hmsmystic Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 He made a nice impression as a rotation player, plus he seems to bring a lot of energy and enthusiasm. Between him, Harrison and Star, it's a nice 3 way DT rotation and we wouldn't need to use the 1st rounder for it
BuffAlone Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 He outplayed Harry the Horrible. Probably at a price comparable to a 3rd rd pick. Therefore, excellent opportunity to lock him up for a few years Would be a solid, judicial signing?
Rico Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 Since he denounced everything Miami Dolphins, I have no problem with this. 6 1

That 3 way rotation is okay. But if you can add a potential all pro talent they would not be wrong to do it. Edited January 3, 2019 by purple haze 1

I doubt it would be the reason we lose a championship. I would be if that loss kept us out of the playoffs or eliminated us from them.
KellyToTasker Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 The divisional games with the Jets and Dolphins are like me and my brother growing up...Whoever is more pissed is the one that gets the upper hand. We need guys like Phillips to play with a professional level of nasty.....Just to smack a guy in the mouth (not literally) when needed to keep order on the field. 2
Augie Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 If penalties are a big concern, maybe we can assign him an on and off field mentor. Is Jerry available? ? Half kidding, because Jerry has actually shown improvement there. 1
Logic Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 Awesome. Love it. Just draft or sign another 3T in addition to Jordan and our interior DL is set for the next five years.

Especially with the loss of Kyle, we still need one more guy to go with Star and the 2 Phillips kids. I can see him costing us a game or two with his over excitement penalties but that’s fine with me. I like the guy a lot Out of the frying pan.... 1 hour ago, NewEra said: Yup. Sue me. I like the kid.

leh-nerd skin-erd Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 This kid is a former 2nd round draft choice who plays hard, loves the energy of the team and the fans, and the coaches want him here. He showed us some good stuff, we should all be hoping they can work out a deal to keep him here. 3
Mat68 Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 With Williams retire Buffalo needs a guy inside who can penetrate and make plays. Phillips flashed that ability.

jwhit34 Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 2 hours ago, thebandit27 said: Good. I'd try to make it a 2-year deal if I could. Give him a decent bump to $3.5-$4M per and allow him the ability to hit the market again before he's 30. He is not getting anything close to $3.5-4 million a year. His rookie contract averaged just over $1 million/year and this year he was waived. He's a nice rotational player and I am glad the Bills are trying to re-sign him, but he's a $2 million/year player at the most, I could see a 2 year, $3.5 million deal that is $1 million per year in salary and a $1.5 million signing bonus, or 3 year, $5.5 million with salaries of $1M, $1.25M & $1.25M with a $2 million signing bonus. Let's not get carried away, decent player, good rotational guy good for 30-40 snaps a game.

LABILLBACKER Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 2 hours ago, wppete said: A quote from Phillips after cleaning out his locker.... “Buffalo’s great. I love the atmosphere,” Phillips said. “Wherever I wind up, I won’t go anywhere with a bad fan base. The fan base is a big part of my game, and I haven’t seen anything better than the Bills Mafia.” Sign him for 2 years obd....

Not true - go to Spotrac and check out how teams allocate $ to DL. Invariably, the top 4 get almost all the money, and player #4 is around $2-3 million. All the rest, the rotational players, are almost always under $1 million, a few in the $1-2 million range. There are a few exceptions but if you click on the teams spending $25-32 million on DL you will find this distribution to be the norm. The Bills best 4 players on DL returning in '19 are Hughes, Murphy, Lawson and Star L. The two Phillips are next and will be in the $1-2 million slots. Jordan Phillips is not worth $3-4 million and they will not spend that much, nor will they have to on a guy who was waived this year. Start spending that kind of cash on backups and the Bills will end up back in cap jail in 3 years. The Bills can take a firm stance on this guy he is not getting a sniff in first free agency wave he is the prototypical 2nd or 3rd wave that has to settle for modest money.
DJB Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 Good . Just like i said they should. Once he signs no chance we go DT in round 1. Phillips, Star, Harry with Lawson occasionally on passing downs makes DT not a draft target in round 1
