No way he's doing both. Especially for a guy who's proven time and again he can't stay on the field. And especially after Singletary finished the season in the fashion he did. I see him looking at another Frank Gore, TJ Yeldon, Matt Breida like inexpensive veteran or a mid round pick. And that will be that for RB. I'm not convinced they will. I find it much more likely he's extended soon to lower his cap figure this season than it is he's traded. That’s just it. There’s no reason to wait if they’re sold on him. They know they need to clear cap and locking up a core player can create a ton of cap space. So why wait? Are teams able to extend players right now? Quote
SCBills Posted March 13, 2022 Posted March 13, 2022 I’m not a huge Edmunds fan, but I think he has a ton of potential. If we extend him to alleviate his cap hit next year, ok, fine. If we trade him, great. I do think - until we sign him long term - he could be a surprise trade in a player for player swap. What I don’t love is him, at his cap hit, not locked up long term. Quote
Cheektowaga Chad Posted March 13, 2022 Posted March 13, 2022 I like edmunds But if you could move him, and sign wagner to replace him Thats something I'm interested in exploring Quote

I wouldn't consider picking up a 5th year option and re-upping him before the start of that 5th year is "waiting". It's a fairly common practice. Quote

We can use a stud but we are absolutely not desperate. Pass rush has been THE defining difference in the last 2 Super Bowls. If you want to get to the playoffs top 10 is fine, but difference makers are needed to get to the SB. 1 Quote
thenorthremembers Posted March 13, 2022 Posted March 13, 2022 Did I miss something on Edmunds? Checked into the board tonight and seems like there is lot of chatter about him. Personally think it would be a great idea to get out of paying him 12 million this year, and 14+ million a year if they re-up but seems like there is real conversation about it. Quote

I think the chatter is because the next options with Edmunds are extension, trade, or let walk in free agency. Those that think he's average or worse don't want an extension, but also don't want to just let him walk. So they're hoping for a trade. 1 1 Quote

But he might have an inflated price tag right now. His accomplishments say top 5 ILB, even if his play doesn't. Edmunds probably believes he's worth somewhere around $18 million per year.

All my posts have been alluding to my expectation that it will probably happen soon. People seem to think signing long term deals or restructuring deals are simple and get done at the snap of a finger. Negotiations take time and I'd expect it to get done sometime between now and before the start of the season. Edited March 13, 2022 by BillsFanForever19 1 Quote

Tag number is like $18 million this year. It wouldn't make sense. I don't think Edmunds will sign a deal with the Bills unless it's around that number. I don't think the Bills are going to pay that. So if you do take that into account trading Edmunds this offseason makes sense if there's a decent market for him. Quote
