JaCrispy Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Bills should try to trade him this offseason before he enters FA in ‘24…get whatever you can- he’s not a foundational type of player and he will cost more than he is worth Imo… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It points to a serious flaw in the Bills’ scouting process and evaluation… Oh there is definitely a flaw- they have a terrible habit of reaching to fill needs… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damj Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 2 hours ago, Ethan in Cleveland said: Too many holes to fill elsewhere. Keep Oliver on the 5th year option just like you did Edmunds. He is relatively cheap and no long term cap issues. Getting rid of him is the wrong solution for the wrong problem. Oline, WR, safety, and depending on what they do with Edmunds MLB, and edge rusher are the holes. Can't make more. Wrong. Oliver is $10.8 mil. Move on, he's not worth it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Firebaugh Kid Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Seen enough of 91. Good, not great player. Not worth the money he's being paid. He can ride his horse off elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's 1TDT? whereas Oliver is a 1TDT, but it still puts you on most folks here to have a FA target playing the correct position in mind Do you know what the injury was which placed him on IR? I believe ed plays 3 tech, too small for a 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have the cap room and have a need at DT, there is enough there with him for an organization to think that they could get more out of him. As a GM, I would offer a 3rd round pick, but go as high as a 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunsgoodtime Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Committed to trading him hopefully. They could honestly try to trade a lot of the wasted Defensive picks if you can find a trade partner, we severely need OL and WR help.

While I agree my bet is you could find a team willing to give up a 3rd, then what is the point. Giving up a starting DT for a 3rd round pick? So basically Oliver for Terrell Bernard??? No thanks. I will take Oliver back on a 5th yr guarantee over a 3rd round pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough, and I think I am correct, I do not think Ed started the Bengals playoff game. He sure did play early and maybe on the first series but technically he did not start the game - I think the first play Ankou was on the field. That notwithstanding, I actually do not think Ed is starting caliber. Depth? Ok. Starter? We need better. But I am fine agreeing to disagree here.

I've posted many time I hated the pick, but I see him as at least an average starter at 3tech DT. And I'm fine overpaying for one year becuase I think the replacement cost would be too high and there are too many other holes to fill. Would I be shocked if they made a trade? No. Surprised and bemused but not shocked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastport bills Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 4 hours ago, somnus00 said: Seems like, when healthy, Jordan Philips outplays Oliver, has more fire, and he's cheaper. Oliver is good. Really good at times. But he is no where near where a top 10 pick should be playing. He does not deserve a massive contract from the Bills. That’s the operative term,”when healthy “ and that about 6 or 7 games a season from his time in Az till they dumped him on us last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I can’t help but believe he will have his best year by far. And if so, exactly why they should move on when the year is through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrbojanglezs Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 the beat guys speak highly of him, but he is just a JAG to me other then his occasional flash play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
