Tremaine Edmunds contract comparison

[BillsVet]

When Edmunds puts up a season like what Campbell did last year, then he can talk to the Bills about a contract extension.

 

Until then, Buffalo should be finding a lower priced vet and develop a younger cheaper MLB.  Can't keep paying all these defensive guys big contracts on defense at the expense of the offense.  

[NewEra]

Yes.  I would pull the trigger on that.  

[Billy Zabka]

MLB is a position we need to improve so I wouldn't extend the flawed mediocrity that is Tremaine Edmunds.

[TheBeaneBandit]

Yes but its about my limit

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

Agreed. He is not a bust he just isn't worth the long term investment. That said some team will make the mistake and sign him to a large dollar contract

[LABILLBACKER]

5 years / 40M....take it or leave it.

 

No

I truly hope so

[In Summary]

No.  Not a player I want to commit to for 5 years - especially at that price.  5.5 career sacks (0 in 2021).  4 career interceptions. Interferes with passing lanes or whatever.........     I'd rather extend Poyer again.

[The Wiz]

5 for 8.5/9.  I'd take that.  He eats space in the passing game but that's about it.  He's not what we wanted him to be so far.

[Buffalo_Stampede]

It's amazing how split we are on this guy. Crazy thing is he's a quiet player also. No look at me stuff.

 

Such a strange topic for me.

[Estro]

I'm not a big fan of Tremaine, but @ that APY for 5 years, YES I would do that deal. That'd be pretty team friendly, especially down the road.

 

$10M a year for a LB will look pedestrian in a year or 2

 

 

[billsbackto81]

10m per?

All day!!

[Bleedbuffaloblue]

Definitely yes.

It really is. Not only is the board split, but I think a number of us fight our own internal battles trying to get a real bead on his play.

 

I'll admit the Cover1 videos do a lot to help his image. A number of things I've bashed him for look a little less severe when put into the proper context of his true responsibilities and the amount this scheme asks of him to cover.

 

But every series of every game I say "Cmon Tremaine, we just need 1 play", and it literally never comes. So even if he is making the calls, and responsible for multiple gaps, and is clogging up passing lanes... I'm not seeing anything actually come of it. No big plays from him, nor really anyone directly around him.

 

Tough one.

I can remember how polarizing Chris Kelsay used to be. Now TE has appropriately moved into that category. 

[bills_believer]

There is no way that Tremaine is going to sign a 5 year deal for 50 million. He is guaranteed to make 12.7 this year which is 27% more than 10 million for this year. There is no reason for him not to bet on himself. He would take the 12.7 million this year and believe that he can get a better contract next year (better than 5 years for 50 million).

[Coach Tuesday]

Edmunds Thread Trigger Alert!

Not strange at all. Pose the same question but at 18 mil instead of 10 and see what responses you get. 

 

At this point you can live with Tremaine at 10 mil because he's athletic and still young. 😂😂😂

 

But at 18m? 😵😵😵😵

 

 

[HOUSE]

If I will be forced to read about missed tackles and blown assignments for he next 5 years

 

NO, hell no

[BigdaddyinOrlando]

Yes

Not sure I can live with him at 10.  I mean, he's played in the league 4 years now and is 23 years old.  How much more can we keep trotting out these age excuses when he just doesn't process the game fast enough? He improved a bit this year but is there really an explosive improvement awaiting his future?
