BillsFan4 Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 I’d be interested in signing him, but I don’t know if I’d do it for $18+M per year. He’s good, but IMO he hasn’t shown to be in that elite, huge money pass rusher category. 1

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 ‘Monster Deal’, Indeed. ? Flowers is just going to announce an energy drink endorsement, or he’s signed on to rep for FTD. With his last name, he’s a natural for the florist gig.

He's 31, on the last year of his contract and is the 2nd highest paid, I guess we could absorb that contract for a year perhaps but the more likely scenario would be to cut Hughes since they signed Murphy to a fairly big FA deal.

Pete Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 Flowers is best free agent available. It seems to me that FA is heavy on D- spend a good chunk of cap on flowers

Just my opinion and was stated by Rodak also.

Just my opinion and was stated by Rodak also. They will keep the best player imo. I don’t really get your point about just signing him last year. It’s all performance based. He will get any money that was guaranteed to him. All FAs know that.

You don'tr sign a FA and then release him the year after, if it's true that it's tougher to get FA to come here then I'd say cutting a FA after 1 season would make it even more difficult per me .

Not saying they have to but 18M per Flowers , 10.4 per Hughes and 8.4 per Murphy, that is a ton of money tied up there but Hughes does come off the books if not resigned the following year so who knows.

It really all depends upon the deal that the guy signed. Even if it's technically a 3-year deal, it could be structured with so little guaranteed money that the player and his agent know they'll be back on the market quickly. Murphy's deal is like that: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/trent-murphy-14456/ Only $7.9M guaranteed, and over 50% of that came in the first year.

Murphy would obviously be the odd man out. Assuming they don't approach him about a pay cut (which they should do anyway even if they don't sign anyone).

Magox Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 If the Bills were to sign Flowers, either Murphy or Lawson would be out this year and the other one out the year after. My guess is if Flowers is picked up, they'd keep Murphy around as a rotational guy and look to trade Shaq now while he still has some draft capital value.
