njbuff Posted February 16, 2020 Posted February 16, 2020 The Bills had Star restructure his contract and the Bills look like they are letting Phillips walk. I bet McBeane wants to make a really good D elite by signing Jones. I don't know if KC can/will franchise, but if they do............... what I just typed above is absolute gibberish. But I do think that Chris Jones is the one that McBeane go out and spend the money on. What do you think? 2
Gambit Posted February 16, 2020 Posted February 16, 2020 While I'd love having him, I don't see how that helps our pass rush out seeing as we still would need a DE. Unless I'm mistaken but he is a DT, correct?
njbuff Posted February 16, 2020 Author Posted February 16, 2020 In this scenario, I would expect the Bills to go after an edge rusher in the 2nd, unless one of the big three slip to them in the first round. Chris Jones can actually play some end from time to time.
Aussie Joe Posted February 16, 2020 Posted February 16, 2020 Which edge rusher in the 2nd ? And fingers crossed he is still there I guess..

Jones is a monster but he isn't lining up at D end in McDermott's base 43 And this would pretty much negate our top 10 pick Oliver to lots of less playing time 7

I guess Jones won't be the big fish.

But Jones is much better than him at this point, super underrated I think it would be hard for Oliver to crack the starting lineup if he had to beat out Chris Jones We do run a rotation and of course the goal is better players but Jones will get a big contract and I think Oliver will in 3 years.. so they kinda overlap

End of the day your not beating good teams with guys like Murphy at DE, cut him and that saves us 8 mill, you add another 10 to that and pay around 18-20 million. He can be a difference maker, guys like Trent Murphy get you beat, I AM ALL FOR IT ! 3
Logic Posted February 16, 2020 Posted February 16, 2020 While I wish this were the case, I don't believe it is. First, you have Beane's comments about not wanting to set the market again this year, which they would DEFINITELY be doing if they signed Chris Jones. Second, they didn't draft Ed Oliver in the top 10 last year just to hand out a record setting contract to a player at the same position the very next offseason. It doesn't make any sense. IF the Bills hand out big money in free agency, I'd be willing to bet it's to an edge rusher like Ngakoue or Clowney, and even that I sort of doubt. None of this is a reflection on what I WANT to happen, because Jones is a beast and I'd love for him to be a Bill. I just don't see it happening. 2
BillsPride12 Posted February 16, 2020 Posted February 16, 2020 I think it's highly unlikely but this is something I would love to be wrong about. After watching San Francisco's defense's this past season it's absolutely a must to improve our front four if McD wants to be one of those teams that is carried by its defense. 1
DCbillsfan Posted February 16, 2020 Posted February 16, 2020 After watching Beane's post season press conference, I didn't come away thinking Beane was going to do a big $ free agent signing. If they re-sign Shaq, that may be the biggest contract this off season imo.
John from Riverside Posted February 16, 2020 Posted February 16, 2020 Doesn’t help our pass rush which is needed
SirAndrew Posted February 16, 2020 Posted February 16, 2020 I think Beane is too smart to go all in with huge amounts of cash on one player. I’m not a fan of spending big bucks on top free agents, unless you literally have every other piece in place. Even in that rare circumstance, many teams have invested greatly in one player, only to find out he wasn’t the missing piece. Build through the draft, and make smart free agent singings. Only teams with an elite QB should ever dabble in the world of big money free agency imo.

John from Riverside Posted February 16, 2020 Posted February 16, 2020 I thought they did a good job fixing the run down the stretch

He plays the same position as the guy they just spent the #9 pick on. Not. Happening.

To say he wouldn't help our pass rush is just ignorant. 1
GreggTX Posted February 16, 2020 Posted February 16, 2020 (edited) Right idea, wrong position, IMO. I just can't understand people wanting to reduce the #snaps for Oliver or Singletary in their sophmore seasons. Makes no sense. We need game changers and I don't care how we get them.
