too much money for aging guy! 5 of his sacks last year were in one game! Not a scheme fit! Rather give that $ to Danielle Hunter! 
 

also, sucks for Chefs

Not a terrible thing.   Maybe the Raiders can beat the Chiefs at least once.  That right there would be super helpful.

Damn it. The AFC West is scary. 

[DapperCam]

Too much money for us anyway. Hopefully we can figure something out at pass rusher. I think Von Miller is still out there.

[Blank Stare]

Understandably, we have financial and cap limitations, but I’m not sure what the plan is at edge. A bunch of young guys doesn’t seem in line with their philosophy. Still options available, but the cupboard is thinning. Im ready to move beyond the Jerry Hughes and Mario Addisons of the world.

I thiink the Bills will find a sneaky good DE to sign.

Any FA Panther DE's the front office can pawn off as a great signing?

[John from Riverside]

I am ok with Hughes coming back

[Magox]

Miller, Zadarius and Clowney are the best available.

[Don Otreply]

Just look at the cap savings,👍

Played out exactly like the JJ Watt chase last year.   Said it wasnt about money, and in the end it was about money.  Nobody should be surprised it ended this way, and I'll be happy watching him collect $17 million a year for a team thats not going to sniff the Lombardi.

Let's say we decided we could afford $10M.

 

$10M + the $7M we gave to D Jones = $17M. 

 

We signed Settle. Another fat DT can easily be found in the mid rounds of the draft. 

 

At some point McBeane needs to realize that elite talent > depth.

Shaq Lawson to the front please?  Shaq Lawson?

might be a blessing in disguise.  I heard on the radio yesterday that 5 of his 12 sacks came in the first game of the season last year

That’s exactly right! 7 sacks in the next 16 games, not elite, and he’s just getting older and slower. This is exactly the kind of free agent player you don’t sign to huge money! Glad we’re not the Raider! But I guess they felt pressured to do something with all the moves the other AFC west teams are making.

They're going to be 8-9 next year.

Team and ownership doesn't have it to push over the finish line. 

They do when it’s $1billion in public money for a stadium.  I’m not one to want a splashy signing for it’s own sake, but I think McBeane’s gotta read the room a little here.  Replacing our JAG’s with other JAG’s is gonna leave the large majority of the fanbase uninspired.

So in reality winning was third on his list. He said money wasn’t important but in the end he really wanted to get paid. 

[LABILLBACKER]

Wow, really hoped we landed Jones. Now focus on Zadarius Smith or Hunter. Don't quit looking for pass rushers Beane.  Still time.....

[ndirish1978]

Watch us sign Hughes and pass that off as a win
