I haven’t seen numbers yet. But if he’s in the $2-2.5M range, I would even consider pushing it to 3 and tack on a few years. If he gets better, great, you have a solid CB2 on a dirt cheap deal for 3 years. If he stays the same, he’s just depth and is paid like depth. Don’t create holes unless you have to. 2
Big Turk Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 Good depth, shouldn't be starting. If the Bills don't add anyone else, I'd prefer to see Dane Jackson start.
jwhit34 Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 If Wallace is the 11th best starter on D then the D will be pretty good. And probably will have significant competition for the starting spot. 1 1
billsfan89 Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 Nice depth move, like the fact they were able to keep him and tender Ike. Wish they kept Bojo too but you got to make cuts somewhere.

jwhit34 Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 (edited) If Wallace is the 11th best starter on D then the D will be pretty good. He probably will have significant competition for the starting spot. This also means that the Bills have all 11 starters back on D plus Taron Johnson the nickel (or AJ Klein as 3rd LB) so top 12 are all back, 9 of 11 on offense, with #10 Boettger tendered. Only John Brown is gone and they get potential starters Cody Ford and Star (on D of course) back from injury and opt out, respectively. In the salary cap era that has to be extremely rare.

This Wallace move used to be a weird glitch. I think they fixed it, but it was around forever. But you’d take a mid level starter like Wallace. Overpay but still cheap on like a 6 year/$4M AAV. If you can rotate him in properly and he gets better it is stupid cheap. Then trade him for a 1st or 2nd in the contact year, while you’ve already tried to do the same with somebody else. The super great glitch that has most definitely been fixed in the last Madden is the draft. You’d take a dude like Wallace, flip him for a 2nd in a contract year. Trade that second for a 1st the next year. Rinse and repeat. At one point I did this a couple seasons in a row, ended up with 7 or 8 firsts and another 2-3 seconds. The game maxed out at like 12 picks in a draft, so eventually you have to use the firsts and reset the process.
njbuff Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 I hope the Bills can find a way to get Patrick Peterson. That's all I want from UFA. Get Peterson and call it a day. Wallace would provide solid outside depth.
ndirish1978 Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 I like Wallace and Johnson a lot. That said, I'd also like to upgrade CB2 and get a big nickel to help us cover TEs for when the Pats spend all day in 12 personnel
ColoradoBills Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 Beane is doing some household chores getting a punter, Ike B. and Levi signed up. I'm waiting for one signing that gives a good chance of improvement in the DE/RB/TE/CB positions to take us to the draft! If he can do 2 I will be elated!
Clyde Smith Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 Levi Frazier back in the mix! 14 minutes ago, Mango said: This Wallace move used to be a weird glitch.

Grab a few FA's, hit manual trade and trade them. 1

So every draft you take your 7th in 2021 and trade it for a 6th in 2022, and do that all the way up. In 6 years your second becomes an extra 1st. 1
wvbillsfan Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 So many guys saying I want to be in Buffalo. One of the only guys I can remember saying that when we were terrible was Jerry Hughes (one of the reasons he’s my favorite player). Now multiple players are doing and taking “hometown discounts” to do so. If you count the 2020 football season and this offseason as one year- I can’t remember when I’ve had more fun as a Bills fan. 1
