LyndonvilleBill Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 No. I think they re-sign Harry like others have said and look to the draft for Stars replacement. I think they would have drafted Stars replacement last draft if Star didn't opt out. Plus gives them a year to bring a rookie along before Star leaves.

ProcessTruster Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Seems like one of those guys who play for the contract; when they get it they check out. Albert Haynesworth syndrome. Bad culture fit. Pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the worst idea. Might mean letting Zimmer walk, though, and they love Zimmer. I'm in favor of exploring JP because that pass rush brought a unique element to this defense.

hondo in seattle Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Memory check: JP was the guy who picked up 9 sacks by failing to beat his guy on the line and then luckily finding himself in the right spot when Jerry Hughes chased the QB out of the pocket?

The Jokeman Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 For the minimum sure as think he could be as good as Vernon Butler has. Send if not better. Yet ultimately might want to draft someone with more upside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrison, Ed and Star are our three DTs now....Philips could be the fourth and if he put his mind to it, he would be a good fourth, he is also unique when at his best. Extremely unusual size/strength to speed/quickness ratio.... Maybe McD could see to it that the effort is there? He liked it here, maybe he would come back on a pay as you play type contract. I think great GMs think outside the box and I am positive that Phillips has a good and unique set of skills. He was drafted in the second round but has high first round talent. He was downgraded as a head case even in college.... I wouldn't mind bringing back Fromm or better yet Fitzpatrick at 5he right price. PS - I think we keep Star unless he retires. Too much dead cap.... You're forgetting Zimmer. He may be as good as Phillips, believe younger, and likely cheaper. Though will say the likelihood of him looking as strong as he had been previously again in September is unlikely as full recovery usually takes close to a full year if not longer. So maybe a guy like Phillips or Shaq for one year to allow time for Zimmer to fully recover would work. However I also could see them drafting a 1 technique tackle fairly high, if so then again no real opening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloRebound Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Sure, but why would a guy who’s made $30m play for the vet minimum? I’d think he’d retire before doing that. Even if he eats, breathes and sleeps football, I’d think you’d gotta pay him at least $3-4m for it to make sense for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royale with Cheese Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I think with his 9.5 sacks with the Bills, he had very little pressures. He cleaned up sacks with us and not created the sack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrainwashedBillsFan Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Def for the right price. We didn’t sign him cause Beaner knew that he was gonna get his money in free agency and it was a business decision to let him go. He played well for us and like I said for the right price most definitely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m guessing the Bills move on from Star and use the cap savings to re-sign Harrison Phillips. You have to think Vern Butler doesn’t get re-signed. That leaves Boogie Basham and Justin Zimmer as the only DT’s on the roster behind Oliver/Phillips. I think 1TDT is what the Bills need more but if we can get Jordan for cheap…why not?

Since they’ve left what have they done to prove that they weren’t a 1 hit wonder?? You usually don’t chase system players or Players that are playing for a new contract. We already went down that road with Marcell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zimmer could be brought back, and let's not forget about Eli Ankou. He did a good job filling in when Star was out. I think the Bills will give Ankou a futures contract. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
