[WotAGuy]

They can all go as far as I’m concerned.

I know many here despise PFF....

 

But I wonder what the PFF rankings are for our Free Agents?  Please post if you have it.

 

Pacheco's performance tells me you can replace Motor with a bigger, faster RB, with more burst in a low draft round.

WHAT'S NEXT: Buffalo Bills

Following their loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, the Buffalo Bills now enter offseason mode, projecting to carry around -$16M of Top 51 cap space, including 9 players with hits north of $10M next season. We’ll dive into each position group, breaking down contract statuses, potential restructures, extensions, cuts, & more.

I’d gladly take Jordan Phillips back, he was playing injured all year, could probably be had at the veterans minimum. Why not?

 

Shaq Lawson, excellent run defender, could probably be had at the vet minimum. Why not?

 

Boettger, good depth, vet minimum. Why not? 
 

Greg Van Roten. Vet minimum. Why not?

 

Quessenberry. Vet minimum. Why not?

 

Let Singletary test the market, if it’s a hot market for him he walks, if it’s cold maybe we can bring him back.

Thanks for posting. 

 

Let MOST of anything less than a 60 walk (within reason..  you can't gut that much of your roster).  I'd sign Matakevich based on the 76.  Why not.  Should be relatively cheap, whereas Klein should GO.  Try to keep Poyer, but draft someone for him to teach as the heir apparent.

Here’s the game: rank our 24 free agents from most likely to least likely to re-sign. 
 

Unrestricted free agents:

OG Ike Boettger

WR Jamison Crowder

LB Tremaine Edwards

OT Bobby Hart

S Jaquan Johnson

RB Taiwan Jones

QB Case Keenum

LB A.J. Klein

WR Jake Kumerow

DE Shaq Lawson

S Dean Marlowe

P Sam Martin

LB Tyler Matakevich

OT Justin Murray

DT Jordan Phillips

S Jordan Poyer

OG David Quessenberry

OG Rodger Saffold

RB Devin Singletary

TE Tommy Sweeney

OG Greg Van Roten

 

Restricted free agents:

LB Tyler Dodson

CB Dane Jackson

CB Cam Lewis

 

Obviously you don’t have to do all 24, but I figured this is the perfect time since no one has been re-upped or tagged yet.

 

🦬

I'll do tiers:

 

Vital re-sign:  Edmunds

Would love to have but likely too expensive:  Poyer, Martin

For the right price:  Lawson, Klein, Boettger, Marlowe

Like the player/person but can likely upgrade for cheaper:  Singletary, Keenum

Would only be interested if they weren't always injured:  Phillips, Crowder

Don't even think about it Beane:  Saffold, Quessenberry, Van Roten, Sweeney, Dodson, Lewis, Murray, Hart, Jackson, Kumerow, Matakevich, T. Jones, J. Johnson

Resign these, all the rest let go

boetteger-nominal $ coming off injury

crowder—2-3 year deal

edmonds— multi year

lawson— multi year deal

martin—2-3 year deal

poyer-2-3 year deal

klein—1 year

singletary if reasonable. If not there are a lot of options

 

Probably not the first poster to call *bonkers* on this matter-of-fact spending spree (~30+M against the cap in 2023 even with extremely backloaded deals and future dead cap burdens, not including a Singletary deal and without actually improving the offense at all) for a team way OVER the cap with all the above players already off the books. 

 

If the Bills pull all the cap accounting levers available to them only to tread water and get older at so many non-premium defensive positions, that would represent stagnation, to me. A lack of ideas. Kicking the can just to stand still.
