billsfan89 Posted March 17, 2020 Posted March 17, 2020 This is a very good signing. Addressing the pass rush with the loss of Shaq and a possible need there anyway. The deal unlike Shaq's deal is very easy to get out of after 1 season and is paying Addison for the production he is likely to do as opposed to speculating a significant improvement in production to justify a large free agency contract. 1

Really took a step forward last year and still has room to improve. I'm guessing he just wanted out after his 5th year was declined.

ngbills Posted March 17, 2020 Posted March 17, 2020 I find it interesting that the approach seems to be not wanting to pay for the big $ free agents. However we are consistently willing to so spend $5-10M on guys. Are you better off with four guys averaging $8M for $32M or one star for $20M and three $4M per players?

Expand With the way these guys train nowadays not like it used to be. Julius Peppers played until he was 38. Not saying Addison is Peppers but he could be at the very least similar to what the Bills had in Jim Jeffcoat when Bruce and Phil were starting. Edited March 17, 2020 by The Jokeman

Less guaranteed money and front loaded to allow the Bills to get out after a season if needed. The Bills could revamp their entire DE position after this year with very little dead cap hit.

Other than Clowney I guess. They did sign the highest paid center last year. I see what you are saying just not sure it’s an actual approach.

I don't know that Buffalo will get that, but I think he'll be a solid player for us.
