Like 4 DT’s just signed extensions this off-season at 21+ million per year. That’s top dollar. Oliver is getting middling money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you explain what Ed Oliver has said or has done that makes you feel this way? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not. Not by an stretch. Go out on the open market and sign another 3T and see what that costs. The top guys don't get out of their organizations. You have to draft them so keeping your own is usually the best way to go. With the salary cap increase in the next few years and probably an out on this contract in 3 years its not the big deal everyone is freaking out about. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dablitzkrieg Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 It's good to see who the new whipping boy is now that Edmunds is gone. Great job Bills fans👏🏾 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offense to anyone, of course. Well, if I were the GM we probably would have been disbanded by the rest of the owners due to complete incompetence. So you're welcome everybody!

Billzgobowlin Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 This is a very good move. He was stellar when he had Von there. The problem has been there has not been much help on the line. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEpsYtown Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 I like Ed. I think he is disruptive while playing within the defense. He has the ability and quickness to make splash plays like a Dareus or JJ Watt, but Oliver does his job and helps his team win. He has some flaws in his game at the point of attack and frankly there are times when he is asked to so to much. This is a small risk, but I for one am glad they are bringing him back. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most recent QB to sign a huge deal does not make him the best QB. It just means he got next man up money while the cap keeps rising. I have no problems with the $$$ for Ed as long as he stays healthy and plays to his ability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let him play the final year and then you could have paid him that if he improved. No, it would be more. That’s why teams do deals early. It’s a risk but it could be a great deal for the Bills. It’s almost like some posters on this board don’t know that several DT’s this off-season signed extensions at 21-24 million per year. And Chris Jones and Quinnen Williams haven’t even gotten theirs yet. Chris Jones signed an extension 4 years ago that is similar to what Oliver just agreed to. It’s not that much in the grand scheme; especially if he gets more consistent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PBF81 Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 2 hours ago, Motorin' said: Yeah... But might it be 68 across 5 season, making it 13.5 per? Nearly $11M for this season, $45M guaranteed. I'm shocked. We couldn't sign Edmunds and have mystery meat at LB, but for a LB that shows up two or three times a season he gets that kinda of money.
