K-9 Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 That's a more than generous offer and if Ziggy don't like it, screw 'em.

So.....let him take his tour I read they structured bress contract and have 11 million to spare after signing brown. The Saints already spent on their defensive line on Thursday, signing defensive tackle Malcolm Brown to a 3-year deal worth $15 million total. They should still have room to sign Ansah if he wants to go there, as the Saints re-worked Drew Brees' contract to create $11 million in cap space. Report: Bills host pass rusher Ziggy Ansah on a visit

Iamkrgr Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 I figure that means we're out on him. Maybe we make a move for Justin Houston?
Rufridr101 Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 He's going to new England book his flight on a 737 max8 1
Mark92 Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) I did sound like Beane wasn't done yet though. He said after this weekend his focus would be the draft. Which means he is still kicking tires. Still has about $20 million to play with if he wants. Edited March 14, 2019 by Mark92
John from Riverside Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 Even without him I am thrilled with our free agency 1
Kirby Jackson Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 Saints just lost Alex Okafor today to KC. He was someone I thought that the Bills should have considered. I hope that they get Ansah. Just now, Mark92 said: I did sound like Beane wasn't done yet though. He said after this weekend his focus would be the draft. Which means he is still kicking tires. He also kept reiterating that they have plenty of money should “a marquee player become available either in FA or via trade.” Maybe they are still working on a trade for a star? Julio? Green? Clowney? 2

I would expect Ansah to cost more than that on a short term deal.
Mat68 Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) I guess this means they are doing their backup plan. Trading for Clowney. Edited March 14, 2019 by Mat68 1

They will have no issues making the offer. Ansah is a backup there though. If that matters maybe he goes to the Bills. Edited March 14, 2019 by Kirby Jackson 3

mjt328 Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 With all the injuries, I'm guessing Ansah doesn't have a huge market. He's lasted four days on the market (which is forever in free agency) and only has two visits lined up. Knowing the way Beane works, we probably gave him a good offer, but not something that blew him away and kept him from cancelling his visit to New Orleans. We'll see how it goes. Sometimes a player comes back to his first visit (Kevin Johnson) and sometimes they don't (Dwayne Allen). 1
