Saffold wants to stay in Buffalo

[Royale with Cheese]

He wants to piss a lot of people off.

Too bad 

[Johnnyp566]

Next years draft needs to include a massive emphasis on offense and the interior is no exception. The Bills pursued Saffold in the past and it’s too bad he didn’t sign because then he wouldn’t be in a one and done situation. 

[EmotionallyUnstable]

0 sacks….due to Allen’s fantastic pocket mobility and awareness. 
 

Probably gave up a ton of pressures over that span. He has been up and down.
 

He has been serviceable, and good at times, yet inconsistent and they can definitely upgrade from him. 
 

Awesome to hear he is liking his place in Buffalo, and I’d love to have a guy of his expertise as a depth player in the future. 

[TheBeaneBandit]

Hopefully he comes back but we also draft his understudy.

[SCBills]

I mean, if he wants to come back on a cheap contract.. sure.  … as depth to our hopefully Day 1/Day 2 OL pick(s).   

[Buffalo03]

How many holding penalties does he have though?

[Low Positive]

It’s nice that players want to stay here. That wasn’t always the case at all.

[LyndonvilleBill]

Could he be getting this out there as Boettger's decision is coming soon as well?

[Simon]

I agree with him.

On the Bills next road trip, he should stay in Buffalo.

[Slippery Rubber Mats]

I'd take him back. I'd also look to upgrade his position.

I can only remember 2 and they were both very recent. I’d bring back Saffold with the understanding that he might end up depth and not the starter.

I agree. Many times when players say they’ll do “whatever it takes” to play somewhere, that does not include taking vet a minimum contract. He’s making $6M for this season. I don’t want him back at anywhere near that. I’d certainly take him back near vet min tho. 

[SageAgainstTheMachine]

If we draft an OG on Day 2 and retain Saffold for another year as the primary interior depth you won't hear complaints from me.  Certainly sounds like he'd tell his agent to accept a discount.

[Coach Tuesday]

Not surprised he wants to remain in place.  Moving around ain’t his thing.

[ChevyVanMiller]

The funny thing about this quote is he tweeted it out to what he thought was Brandon Beane’s official account. The Bills GM does not have a Twitter account, it was a burner account. Bills fans pointed this out to him and then re-tweeted it to Brandon Beane’s wife’s official account.

Does anyone know where to find/have access to the pressures/sacks each lineman has given up thus far? The Athletic always has these numbers, think they get them from PFF.

"0 sacks in 12 games"---now  he's stealing Epenesa's lines??

I was thinking of the draft and how they will have only a few picks.  They need O line help for sure.
