What was nice to see is our coaching staff paying Milano what he wanted and understanding the importance of retaining him, but then also understanding that the right move was to let Edmunds walk.

 

They got that right.

 

 

 

 

The right move would have been keeping Edmunds also, and they are very very aware of that.

 

But there just wasn't money for it. Sometimes you have to let a guy go who you would much rather keep. 

 

They've made it very, very clear that this was one of those cases.

 

They'd obviously have improved the team by bringing Edmunds back, same as they would by bringing in Hopkins. But good money management and a determination to stay competitive each year means they had to sacrifice.

 

We have yet to see how well this will work out. Right now, MLB looks like it might be an area where they have to cover up a weakness. Hopefully not, but right now that's probably the best guess. I could certainly be wrong, and I hope that's the way it works out. 

 

But losing Edmunds is likely to hurt us.

Ed Oliver.

 

 

Yup. He seems like the most likely one. And of course the OC, whoever it is. Like forever.

Right…… so they felt letting him go because the price tag didn’t meet the impact was the right move. They turned around and gave that money to Ed Oliver- a DT (who I love) with minimal production to show for the money he’s being paid.  The money was there to pay edmunds….. they just didn’t think he was worth it.

 

twist it however you like it- the bills felt about edmunds the same way the majority of the board did.  Good player.  Not worthy of being paid like he was going to get paid.  

 

We’ll miss him this season, I have no doubt.  Going forward, they made the right move.  I have very little doubt about that.  He’s not worth it.

Milano is really, really good. But I think Bills fans have lost their minds on Edmunds. Obviously, we weren’t matching that contract but it’s wild to act like the guy was some bum and didn’t help this defense. He’s one of the better pass coverage MLBs in football and for as terrible as he was (I know you aren’t saying that but some act like it), we had top 3 defenses consistently while he was here. MLBs deserve a bunch of credit for that. 
 

I think Bills fans are going to be in for a bit of an awakening if this defense slips this year. I think the pass defense should be really good but it will be how we hold up against the run with what has to be one of the smallest groups of LBs in the nfl.

Disagree. Should have kept both Milano and Edmunds and let Oliver walk

Jones should be higher, like low-mid 80s I agree, but Murray rating is about right.  

 

Low-mid 80's would put him on par or above people like:

 

Ed Oliver (81) 

Fletcher Cox (81)

Arik Armstead (82)

Javon Hargrave (84)

 

Do you think he's better than them? I'm not sure, but I know overall Madden ratings are pretty conservative & lean lower than fans tend to think. 

 

Is an 87 overall rating good? Many people would say it's solid, but then you realize that's the rating they gave the Chiefs as the best team in the league. It's all relative to other players & teams (Bills have an 82 btw).
