Rumor- Harrison Phillips not coming back

[BrooklynBills]

Akiem Hicks has the market value and can probably be signed for less gtd $$.

 

I think this is just Phillips pricing himself out of what the Bills want to spend for a 1T, 2 down DT.

You get the sense that even if the Bills want to keep guys like Harrison, Wallace, etc they know that there will be some ridiculous deals thrown around in FA especially with the salary cap figure going upwards again.

If Bills want to do that basic RFA stuff with Bates, when is the deadline for it?

 

Pretty sure the deadline for the RFA tender is before the start of the new league year - next Tuesday. Then the deadline for the player to get and present an offer sheet from another team is usually around a week before the draft. April 22ish I think it is this year.

 

Worth mentioning, once the RFA tender is applied the amount counts against our cap right away. So for example, we are already something like $3.5 mil over the cap. If they put a tender out there on Bates for whatever amount, say $4 mil, the $4 mil instantly figures into our top 51 cap figure and raises the already over $3.5 mil by that much more.

 

The Bills need to start making cap moves soon.

This...and it's a little concerning that even some of the minor expected moves like dumping Feliciano hasn't happened yet

We will see stuff happen around the league now.  The biggest domino (Rodgers) fell.  Minutes later the second biggest (Wilson) followed suit. Plus it’s getting to be crunch time anyway.

Did anyone doubt he might not be back? That was a forgone possibility to most I think.

 

That you actually met Phillips BEST FRIEND and he shared intimate details of his intentions is what I doubted.

You got lucky. You had a 50/50 shot at being right.

What’s even funnier is when people still aren’t willing to believe your story. Is there evidence that you are known to make this stuff up for attention?

Met Harrison's best friend out in Buffalo tonight...showed texts to prove that he will not be coming back in free agency. I don't expect anyone to really believe this, but you'll just have to believe me haha. He will not be a Bill next year

You are truly wise, man, well done!  Sad to see , but you nailed it with your insider connection. Tough loss of a very classy , great guy who was all you could want as a role model for Bills players. Will miss him.

This rumor was exaggerated

Haha no, I really don't post here besides game reactions and defending JA17. Oh well. I think Harrison needs to reevaluate what friends he shares info with. Alcohol is a hell of a drug!

Not at all. He said it was a certainty, then he said it was a possibility. It was never a certainty, but it was always a possibility. That is true with every FA. We all knew it was possible. The process has to play out, then we know.  I wish him well, especially against AFC teams!
