Poona Ford signing with the Bills

[mannc]

And this is why you don't spend a first round pick on defensive tackles, unless they are Jeffrey Simmons, Chris Jones or Aaron Donald.

Add a veteran pass rusher now and the DL is loaded.

 

Oliver

Jones

Phillips

Settle

Ford

 

Oliver definitely getting traded, but for what? Future draft pick or a MLB?

 

 

Sure.

 

If definitely means definitely not.

Definitely trading Oliver, for sure. 100%.

Seattle fans saying he is amazing at 1T, but was forced to play 3T and 5T due to injuries/lack of depth

This feels like the lead up to Nuk becoming a Bill.

All of our defensive tackles are in a contract year, so they should be playing hungry to land a bigger deal in the off-season.

 

Ed Oliver has shown glimpses of high level play, but hopefully he can break out this season, even if he ends up signing elsewhere.

Exactly.

 

1 more thing to consider is how this signing impacts Ed's play too, in addition to DL and LB impact.  Ed doesn't always have Daquan lined up with him, and he performs better with a true/capable 1-T.  This gives us a much stronger rotation and trickle down effects elsewhere

Then sign Ed Oliver to an extension.

So the exact opposite of the Bills who have 3Ts playing 1T. Perfect fit.

So like an inverse Ed Oliver.

big bodies bode well for undersized fast Linebackers!

I think that domino will fall before training camp.

Never happening. 

 

Wasn't happening during the Draft. Isn't happening now. This is a fan made up idea like Edmunds was last year. 

 

Anytime he's brought up around Beane he talks about wanting to re-sign him. He'll either get extended before the year or he'll be a FA after this season. But he's "definitely" not going anywhere.

 

He's our best 3T and there isn't a better one available out there. Teams don't trade for guys with 1 year left on their contract with a 10m cap hit.

 

Anything is possible in the NFL. But you're living in a fantasy world thinking it's a definite.

Major need that wasn't addressed in the draft. There had been talk, but I thought he might be too expensive.

Beane would be foolish to say anything other than that.....he's not going to indicate he wants to trade a specific player 

[astb41]

Justin Houston too? Any whispers of particular edge rushers?

[The Firebaugh Kid]

Lovvvvve me some Poona ☺️

[mjt328]

All the people pushing to trade Ed Oliver...

What kind of return do you think the Bills can get?
