freddyjj Posted March 15, 2022 Posted March 15, 2022 Wow some real faulty logic here. Immigrants get no preference once they make the roster in the NFL. Obada really struggled vs the run - especially when moved inside. My little sister could set the edge better. He is Just Another Guy in this league at DE and warrants a veteran league minimum contract at this juncture - not a threefold pay increase. Sorry to rain on your parade here

offyourocker Posted March 15, 2022 Posted March 15, 2022 I like him but I really want the Bills to go pursue a difference maker at that position

Orlando Buffalo Posted March 15, 2022 Posted March 15, 2022 5 hours ago, HIT BY SPIKES said: Last Year, Efe Obada signed a 1 year, $1,500,000 contract with the Buffalo Bills, including a $300,000 signing bonus, $800,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $1,500,000. The below is from ==> https://overthecap.com/player/efe-obada/3831/ Career Earnings: $3,475,200 Career APY: $579,200 Potential Earnings: $3,455,400 Total Guarantees: $650,000 Largest Cash Payment: $1,500,000 (2021) Largest Cap Number: $1,485,294 (2021) I believe he is now 30 so he is looking for his likely last contract. Started late, never went to college and has a huge ceiling at 6'6" and 265 lbs. Obada was part of that NFL International Program. He is a beast of an athlete. Hungry for that one sizeable contract. With very limited playing time and a short history of development he produced the numbers that he did the past 2 years -- one in Buffalo. The trend is clear. He is going to learn more and better pass rushing moves. He will get 10 sacks with more playing time. He flashed in his 1st season with us. He only played 8 games and got 3.5 sacks in his first year in our system. Play him 17 games next year and he gets 10 sacks for the Bills. Why NOT lock him up for 3 years at $15M total? I know, it sounds like a lot of money. However, other teams watch video. They will see a guy who looked raw. Who flashed. Who has a high ceiling. Let me structure the contract for you: Term ==> 3 years Total ==> $15M Signing Bonus ==> $5M 1st Year Base ==> $2M 2nd Year Base ==> $4M 3rd Year Base ==> $4M Dead Cap Hit After One Year ==> $3.3M He will get much more than that as a Free Agent. Every team is looking for pass rushers. 7 Solo Tackles + 3.5 sacks in very limited playing time. With more playing time, he is starting to show some real results at 29 years old. Crap!!! He is only now learning pass rushing moves. Sign him for 3 years and $15M total -- $5M Signing Bonus plus base of $2M in 2022, $4M in 2023 and $4M in 2024. He will be 32 years old at the end of that contract and you see what his results are playing every game. Thoughts? Your extrapolation is done poorly because he played only against teams he would help against, so that 3.5 sacks likely is only 5 total against everyone. Secondly he is a one trick pony that is useful at times but not against everyone. 5 hours ago, HIT BY SPIKES said: Last Year, Efe Obada signed a 1 year, $1,500,000 contract with the Buffalo Bills, including a $300,000 signing bonus, $800,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $1,500,000.

Allen2D̶i̶g̶g̶s̶TBD Posted March 15, 2022 Posted March 15, 2022 The only game where he was noticeable was vs the Panthers because he wanted to play well vs his old team. He was invisible every other game.
John Adams Posted March 15, 2022 Posted March 15, 2022 Mrs. Obada, we all wish your son well. Like him but he was a role player. Bills D-line strategy is what it is. No one is getting a lot of snaps.
DrDawkinstein Posted March 15, 2022 Posted March 15, 2022 I havent reviewed any of his tape (nor will I), but from what I saw when he was on the field left an impression that he was more of a liability out there than anything else. No thanks. Time to move on from yet another failed ex-Panther DL.
LABILLBACKER Posted March 15, 2022 Posted March 15, 2022 He had one good game all season. Way too much. No

BADOLBILZ Posted March 15, 2022 Posted March 15, 2022 Efe Obada is beast in a straight line............but he can't stop and change direction at an NFL-athlete-level...........as we found out. If he weren't so big and fast there is no way he'd make it out of an NFL camp. I hope he can hang around and keep getting some pay checks.........wouldn't mind him back as the 9th or 10th DL because he can rush the passer a little........but he's just a depth player and not worth more than the league minimum(no cap impact) because his lack of agility makes him awful against the run. 1
Riverboat Ritchie Posted March 15, 2022 Posted March 15, 2022 Great athletic ability but no way for that price. Still pissed he didn’t jam Kelsey at all on that play that set up FG.
mjt328 Posted March 15, 2022 Posted March 15, 2022 Obada's contract was a good deal last year. He was a solid role player, who did OK in our edge rusher rotation. If he wants a higher salary and more years, let someone like Jacksonville sign him. Beane can easily replace his production with another DE at around the same price we paid last year.
Hapless Bills Fan Posted March 15, 2022 Posted March 15, 2022 9 hours ago, HIT BY SPIKES said: He only played 8 games and got 3.5 sacks in his first year in our system. Play him 17 games next year and he gets 10 sacks for the Bills. Why NOT lock him up for 3 years at $15M total? You answer your own question. He only played in 8 games because his overall play didn't merit more playing time. He did not play at a level that merits a 3 year, $15M contract.
buffaloboyinATL Posted March 15, 2022 Posted March 15, 2022 Somebody may outbid us, better make it $20 million just to be sure. 1
