Phil The Thrill Posted March 15, 2020 Posted March 15, 2020 Good deal for Baltimore and he should help their pass rush... it should also be noted that his numbers have dropped over the past years after his monster breakout season. Not as bad of a deal for Jacksonville as some of you make it out to be.

In case you missed it... 2019 : Campbell--6.5 sacks and 25 quarterback hits Jerry Hughes--4.5 sacks, 9 quarterback hits Trent Murphy--5.0 sacks, 9 quarterback hits To put those QB hits in perspective, here are some 2019 comparables: ChandlerJones--26 Aaron Donald--24 JJ Watt--21 Yannick Ngakoue--15

Is that the best idea? I mean didn't we just draft the next Aaron Donald?

Bills need to make moves for guys like this one with FA approaching....at times I fear McBeane are too conservative. He’s better than anything this team has at pass rusher..... come on. Don’t we say this every offseason when we lose out on a FA/don’t make a trade? 1

I see what you’re saying.... even for 1 year I wouldn’t want to give up $15M, all guaranteed. I’d rather save that and give Ngakoue $20M per and not all that guaranteed. Bills don’t need that dude.

From your own post: "Already signed a 2-year, $27 million deal with Baltimore. $20 million guaranteed in 2020, just a $7 million hit in 2021..." So yes, they're paying him 20 million this year. How's THAT for comedy?

Alphadawg7 Posted March 15, 2020 Posted March 15, 2020 (edited) BREAKING NEWS: Free Agency and the Draft have NOT happened yet. Not to mention, trades can happen anytime still too. Geezus, why are so many people dwelling on this as if we missed our ONLY chance to get a DE end this year as if there was no Comparable or better option than 34 year old DE on a 2 year contract? R.E.L.A.X. Beane and McD have on many occasions stressed how Edge is one of the most important and highest paid positions after the quarterback position. So I think it’s pretty clear they will prioritize the position and will be focused on finding some good help there this offseason given Shaq seems likely to leave and Hughes is getting up there in age himself.

It’s very likely that Campbell was the best DE option available for the Bills for 2020. And the price to acquire him was quite low. And acquiring him wouldn’t have limited us at all in terms of prioritizing the position in the other ways available to us. That’s why some folks are unhappy.

All players hit a cliff. 34 years old for a DE is old. Their are no assurances he will be nearly as good as you and others are making him out to be next year. And sorry, some of you are exaggerating him right now in terms of last year. I get it, people know his name. But doesn’t mean he’s as elite as some are making him out to be. He has just TWO double digit sack seasons in his whole career. His sack totals went down each year in Jax too, including just 6.5 last year after he had his best statistical season as a pro his first year there. He is no where close to the best DE option in this years market nor is his 6.5 sacks hard to find. And now he will be even a year older and on a new team so good chance he doesn’t even match last years numbers. So IMO, some of you are over reacting to a player who at this stage of his career is being over exaggerated. Edited March 16, 2020 by Alphadawg7 2

And Campbell is a 5x pro Bowler and All-Pro, his cute double digit sack stat aside. Who is the best DE on the market?

I want the best players, but if they knew he was asking for the moon and we felt it was excessive, then I trust their judgment. I am NOT saying that is the case, just saying they know a lot more about this than we do, and I tend to trust them. 2
