No_Matter_What Posted September 19, 2021 Posted September 19, 2021 I wanted to start this thread last week and forgot to. Now after Dolphins game when the dude balled again it becomes even more interesting. Taron Johnson is UFA after this season, but I guess we can agree that he is worth keeping. Do you guys think it is possible that Beane tries to extend him now? If so, how much he can get? Or do you think talks will start after season? I am not sure what is Beane's history with respect to midseason extensions. And at what point do you think Bills will say that he is asking too much, let him go and will try to find someone similar late in the draft? I am no expert but I would assume that extending him now should be cheaper since it would give him some guaranteed money which provides him some security in case he gets injured later this season. So I'd try to do it now provided he can be kept for reasonable money (which I am not sure how much it is).
Ethan in Cleveland Posted September 19, 2021 Posted September 19, 2021 Interesting topic. I dont think he is seen as an outside CB so the market will not be crazy for his services. Anyone know of recent contracts for nickel dbs?
Rc2catch Posted September 19, 2021 Posted September 19, 2021 I like Taron, he’s a gamer. His value will be much higher to us than across the league imo. I think we would see another test the market situation where Beane has a value but will let Taron test the waters to see what he can get elsewhere. I would expect he won’t be back. 1 1 1
Aussie Joe Posted September 19, 2021 Posted September 19, 2021 I think they will bet on replacing him in the draft… 1
Simon Posted September 19, 2021 Posted September 19, 2021 No point in negotiating; he'll just force them to turnover the money anyway....... 14

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted September 19, 2021 Posted September 19, 2021 I'd say no! When you look at Bills team good likelihood they draft a CB next year fairly high as not too many other positions are in need. O-Line and LB, but probably not starters so can go a little lower. If they draft a CB in the 1st round, then guys like Wallace and Jackson both demote a step so one of them could fill that role. As also stated not likely he'll get big $$'s elsewhere and Bills could always sign a FA too for that role. 1
Bruffalo Posted September 19, 2021 Posted September 19, 2021 I don't know if I'd want to pay him a lot. He's had big plays but he's not much more than replacement level when you look at his full tenure with the Bills.

A lot like Wallace. I wouldn't rush into a contract though. Like many players he plays better with a lead and teams are forced to pass. He's physical but does get toasted quite often. 1
Green Lightning Posted September 19, 2021 Posted September 19, 2021 Like to keep him. Gets better and better. He's a baller. 2 1

ColoradoBills Posted September 19, 2021 Posted September 19, 2021 McDermott's D needs a NCB like Taron. He will sign a 3 year contract for $12M+. I see him as the biggest priority FA next year. They easily got the cap for that and even a bit more.
Beast Posted September 19, 2021 Posted September 19, 2021 One of those guys you hate to lose but....lose.

TheBeaneBandit Posted September 19, 2021 Posted September 19, 2021 He has stood out positively lately but there have been long stretches where he has been beaten like a rented mule. I'm 50/50 on the fence with him.
