I feel like I heard this a lot about Milano in the early part of the 2021 offseason as well, and then he signed with the Bills. I dont think Edmunds is gone yet.

Milano is and was always the better player at his position.

I don't see any of these players being on the 2023 team.

 

 

 

That would be 36 million.

Rewatch the Vikings game and see how different our Defense looked in the 1st half vs after he went out in the 2nd half for a good example of how integral he is.

Bills go into next year with the following players on Defense:

 

Von Miller

Daquan Jones

Greg Rousseau

Matt Milano

Taron Johnson

Tre’Davious White

Kaiir Elam

Micah Hyde 

 

Figure it out.

So we can expect our first round draft pick to be defense again…just great 👎😡🤬

Bump when Shaq Thompson signs here this offseason.

We will miss him quite a bit if he leaves.

 

He's not irreplaceable - but he is one of the leaders & playmakers on D.  It adds one more thing to Beane's list if he moves on.

 

Strongly disagree with that word being used to describe Tremaine.

When Edmunds does blitz, he runs toward & right into a blocker. Anybody ever tell him that’s not how you blitz?

Knowing this coaching staff probably not. It's sad seeing Maine leave but I get it and I’m sure just as many players question the coaching staff & FO just as much as posters, they just can't make it publically known. The players have the option of going to another team, the fans don’t

He can't be expected to be paid as an adult.

Yeah, it all goes into a Trust Fund until he reaches the appropriate age.😉

Yup. That's a lot of good players. Enough for a solid D. Fill in the gaps with the cheapest players possible.

 

I have zero interest in having an "elite" defense.

All of them are FAs and are not counted against this year's cap unless they sign new contracts.

Bills are $20M over no matter what.  

[SCBills]

Another thing this report tells me, is that the Bills may actually do some unexpected stuff this off-season. 
 

I would NEVER have thought I’d see that tweet referenced by the OP, re: Tremaine.  Gives some hope for those of us also begging them to trade Oliver and really transform the Offense. 

[Brianmoorman4jesus]

I feel like our first step to becoming a better defense is going in a different direction at LB. Go get the next Spikes

Well, sure, now that this flannel mouthed bunch leaked the rumour! 🤨😁

When we drafted him maybe.  5 year contract = 17

He’s likely gone then. I know Milano did the same and signed back but Edmunds is going to get $20 million per year.

Calling it now, he’s going to get less than 20. Spotrac’s contract estimate wasn’t some gross electronic error. Edmunds is a specialized player that hasn’t been asked to be a traditional LB since Frazier became DC. Teams can hope he’ll become one but they’re not going to pay for hopes in advance. They’re going to merely outbid the highest bidder if they’re sold on him. With our luck, watch him sign for something just out of our reach like 16.

Sadly, I agree on all, except Phillips. I can see him returning.

Resources to offense please.

Psst!  Got here a 5'7" 165 lb. LB that bench presses Buicks (1969 LeSabre) and runs the 40 in 4.31.  How can you say 'no' to him?! 🤔

[SectionC3]

He’s not as good as his supporters think.  And he’s not as bad as his detractors think.  We’ll miss him.  But he’s not worth a cap hit greater than Milano’s charge.  And, even if we had him at that number, he’s probably not worth keeping around with Milano and investing $20m in off-ball linebackers.  I’d rather hire cost-effective replacement labor and sink the savings into the offensive side of the ball.

What he does is what every defense is looking for. He’s a huge athletic MLB that plays every single snap on a top defense and still is considered to have upside. He’s going to get #1 LB money on the open market.
