I’ve not missed a game since 1991. Ask me some questions. 

The Bills have been around since 1960, like me. Edmunds not even close.

This kid has had way too many people in his ear. Lorax claiming he’ll be a HOFer before 1 game played. Did it go to his head? I don’t think so. But he sure helped us lose a humiliating game to NE last year. No reason for his horrific play misdiagnoses. He’s the Ron Burgundy of MLB’s in that all you have to do is look him off and you’ve got a completion. Cannot stress enough that I’m glad he’s gone and we can finally stop talking about him. 

I only said I haven’t missed a game since 1991 but I’ve watched them for 40+ years. And living thousands of miles away, before Sunday Ticket, made watching every freakin game very difficult, but I did it. So, tell ME…which player, non-QB, has created more animosity and conversation than Tremaine? It’s been like this since DAY ONE.

Do you think the Bears are going to play a conventional 4/3 with Edmunds outside?

I don’t know how he’ll be deployed, it depends on their other LBs. I know he’ll be asked to rush the QB more than we rush our LBs.

I no it’s all about the money but dang , to go from a playoff team every year, to a bad team will suck for him in a few years.

We're not going back to a 4-3

this sounds a lot like an early investment into the position in the draft then? asking honestly

You’re not getting those guys on the cheap. Maybe not Edmunds #,. but you think those guys could be deployed in 2LB defenses and play every down. Edmunds allowed our young secondary to play nickel all game. These guys are long in the tooth and Edmunds is 24.

Yet Wagner outperformed Tremaine next year 

[In Summary]

If we're going to overpay a bit, I'd prefer it be for offense.  What does a defense have to do anymore?  Get a couple turnovers and prevent 2-3 drives from scoring.  If you can do that without paying your two starting LB's over $25 million combined, then don't.  Congrats to Tremain though for being a gentleman here and representing both himself and the Bills with class.

I was and still am a fan of Edumonds but there is no way this team could have ponied up 18 million aav with a big guarantee for him. He is a good player and in free agency good young players get paid like elite players. The Bears had the luxury of overpaying for a good player, they don't have a lot of big contracts and their QB is on a rookie deal.

 

This team will have to find a way to replace the production of Edumonds who was very good in coverage and esp this past season solid against the run. But I would rather invest the cap dollars on offense and try to replace Edumonds cheaply in the draft or with a lower mid-level free agent.

Wishing the young man nothing but the best.

 

He was a good player and a good teammate.

i dont disagree, just sucks to have the best NCB in the game, have given him a nice contract, and now hes a very situational player?

 

Nobody shoot me here, but if theoretically we go back to a 4-3, what would taron's trade value be?  not advocating it, just thinking of questions beanes sorting through

Nobody runs a 43 or a 34 the majority of the time anymore 

 

There’s too much speed and wide receivers on the field

 

The NFL is all about sub packages …. Nickel and Hybrid dime defenses 

 

Even if we use more 43 looks it would never be close to 70% like base defenses 25 years ago

 

you can run more 43 and keep Taron on the team lol

The funniest thing was if we had the cap room, this board would be over the moon if we signed a 24 year old with his tools and production. 

Production? In 5 seasons he produced 6.5 sacks, 5 picks, 2 Forced Fumbles, and 37 stuffs for 71 yards lost. 

So in a typical season that's 1.5 sacks, 1 interception, likely 0 forced fumbles, and a run stuff every other game for a 2 yard loss. 

Not an impact player for $18M/season. 

[No_Matter_What]

Sry if this was already discussed, but does this all but guarantee at least 4th round comp pick to us? Assuming that we will not sign any other FA with bigger deal then we just give to Connor McGovern?

 

I have no idea how the formula works, but this looks like a huge deal which could fetch a 3rd.

[BillsSbSoon]

It is what it is now just sucks to lose a 25 yr old mlb with his best ball ahead of him. Milano is the man but he’s also about to be 29. I just really hope their plan isn’t for Bernard to be the starter 

[harmonkillebrew]

I liked Edmunds, but prefer we use that $$ elsewhere, preferably on Offense and get a LB replacement in the draft.  Maybe a temp vet fill-in, like David.

I don’t. Eberflus’s defense is 4-3, but they are 4-2-5 80% of the time. Something like that. It’s similar to our defense. I’m guessing they play Tremaine at Mike and Edwards at Will with Sanborn at Sam. But the majority of the time it’s going to be Edwards and Tremaine on the field imo.

Thank you. 

 

I don't follow the Bears a lot, but it was my impression they were playing majority Nickel.

 

Smart teams typically don't pay top dollar for a FA with the intention of using them in an entirely different way than the way they succeeded enough to become top dollar FA.
