Yes

Yes

I say yes as well.

[BuffaloRebound]

Yes, but the whole $12.7m thing will make this impossible.  He’s not gonna sign for less than $12.7m per year 

[GunnerBill]

$10m per, yes, depending on guarantees. 

[Shaw66]

Yes

[uninja]

10m per year for 5 years is a good deal, assuming it's only partly guaranteed and there's mechanisms to walk away after 2 years.

[BillsFanForever19]

Yes

[glazeduck]

For better or for worse, Edmunds is 5 years younger than Campbell. I think the answer (and the crux of the debate about him as a player in general, really) depends on what you think of his ability to continue developing. 

 

Given a rising cap, I'd bet on him continuing to develop and say yes.

You son of a B word.  I read the title too fast and though we extended him.

So he's gauranteed 12.7 million for this year.  That doesn't mean that he won't sign for less than that on a long term deal.  Can easily structure something so that he gets more money up front or over the first 2 years AND it lowers his overall cap hit early on.

[BillsFan130]

Nope

[WMDman]

not for 5 yrs

[DrDawkinstein]

As someone who has been very critical of Edmunds, yes, I would extend him at $10M/yr.

$50M with probably half of it guaranteed, is far better than only $12.7M. I wouldnt say it's impossible.

 

The only thing here is that I wouldnt want Edmunds on a 5 year deal, more like 3.

 

But in general, the money is right.

[Big Blitz]

Yea and I'm about trading him so.  I'd be good with it.  

 

But 4 years 40 million - he'll be a UFA at 28 and can cash in again.

With this contract I would think Bills can leverage this into smaller than a 10M AAV.  But yes I would make this deal for Edmunds

He’s 23.  No agent who wants another client is gonna let him sign for less per year than his 5th year option.

Structure-wise........that could be A LOT of different things.   5 years for a veteran LB is an intentionally long deal to spread out the hit.

 

My guess is that it's more like a 2 year $15M deal.
