NY Nole Posted March 16, 2020 Posted March 16, 2020 6 hours ago, Lurker said: So the Bills signed Kaare Vedvik for nothing to a futures contract. Said Vedvik was traded to the Vikes for a 5th rd pick and the ravens just sent that to Jags. I say the bills won this trade. More witchcraft from Beane. Go Bills!

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. I hear you, but it’s not like the Ravens don’t know what they are doing either, you know?

We don’t know what we don’t know. The Ravens are indeed a well run organization, but if we felt the financial cost was too high, I appreciate them being able to draw a line and live with it. It must be mighty pricey for him to be let go for just a 5th rounder. I’m sure we have layers of contingency plans. It’s unfortunate, but it’s not the end of the world. We still have options, and likely saved a small fortune we can direct elsewhere. Glass half full.
CommonCents Posted March 16, 2020 Posted March 16, 2020 Two years ago this would have been a legitimate cry fest. He is one of my favorite players in the league but he is at the end of it. There is a handful of guys that will have the same impact as him that are available. 1
Doc Posted March 16, 2020 Posted March 16, 2020 2 hours ago, Phil The Thrill said: 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. What it likely means for Jax is that Ngakoue will definitely not want to stay there. But I wouldn't trade a 1st and give him $22M/year.

Alphadawg7 Posted March 16, 2020 Posted March 16, 2020 5 hours ago, FireChans said: Ansah isnt Campbell but you know that. 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? He’s 34, they all hit cliffs. Manning was great in 2014 with 39 TDs and 15 Ints. In 2105 he had just 9 TDs and 17 ints. And he played a way less physical position. 34 is pretty old for a DE. And once again he’s coming off his third worst statistical season of his long career. Is he going to magically find the fountain of youth at 34 in a new system and double his sack totals? I mean come on, it’s not realistic and it’s more like the will have a similar or worse season. 1
Smitty75 Posted March 16, 2020 Posted March 16, 2020 What a robbery...? Off course he’s aging but he’s still a menace if you put him in any dline, they could had a 3th round pick for him at least. 1

NewEra Posted March 16, 2020 Posted March 16, 2020 7 hours ago, Alphadawg7 said: Just like Ziggy was gonna be so key last year too right? Peyton Manning was elite every year until that one year he wasn’t. 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. While I’m not throwing a tantrum because we didn’t get him, watch what he does in Baltimore next year. He’s the perfect fit and would’ve been an amazing fit here. Pay him 17 mill the next 2 years and then let him go after we win a Super Bowl like Baltimore is about to do 1

Why do people only focus on sacks? Look at QB hits, TFL and solo tackles. He's still performing at a high level and makes the Bills DE's look like backups in comparison...
