Benford, Bernard & Shakir…re-sign all of them?

[LabattBlue]

Benford, Bernard & Shakir will all be FA after 2025 season. Likelihood that all 3 get signed to extensions?

 

A case could be made for keeping all of them in the fold.

Yes.  

[somnus00]

Beane likes to sign his own. Draft and develop. And these guys are all "Buffalo" guys.

Hell yeah!
 

Each one has proven themselves to be excellent productive players.

 

Yes, yes, and yes.  Thank you.

 

[Eastport bills]

No brainer and while you’re at it, resign Williams.

[boyst]

Si, ja, yep, duh

[Chicken Boo]

Shakir will be interesting.  He's going to command a healthy price tag and the Bills should absolutely pay it.

The best slot receiver in the NFL will come with a sizeable price tag.  

 

Can't wait until the heads on the this board explode when they re-sign Cook as well.  Don't forget Torrence and Groot have only one year left on their rookie deals.  Torrence (2025 - $9.385 cap hit) is also going to be extended.  Groot has a club option for 2025 (13.875 cap hit) which the Bills will certainly exercise if they  don't extend him as well.

Torrence has 2 years left. He isn't a FA until after 2026.

[strive_for_five_guy]

Why does Beane have to draft so well?

[davefan66]

Why do you think he had a roster purge this season?

 

Players that need to be resigned over the next few years is going to be a tough task for sure.

[GETTOTHE50]

Resounding yes. I’m never mad or upset with those players. They are as consistent as can be. 

[Simon]

I love Shakir both as a player and a person, but I'm not sure the Bills will be able to afford him.

They are likely not going to break the bank for a slot receiver, nor should they, but it's also likely that somebody else will.

[Ed_Formerly_of_Roch]

Add to that list Groot!

[NickelCity]

Rousseau, Benford, Shakir and Bernard will all be resigned. Cook wont.

Keep Benford and Bernard.

Re-signing Cook would be really silly but hey, at least we'll get to laugh about the reactions.

[Virgil]

Bernard is tough for me with his injury history.  I think we give him a contract that gives us some fair outs.  

 

I also don't know if another team is really going to bid hard on him, as I do believe part of his success is system related.

It depends on his production. He is on pace for about 1,000 yards and 3 or 4 TDs. That's pretty good for a slot receiver, but he isn't going to get paid like a #1 receiver, but I could see him getting 12 to 15 million per year.

[Success]

I was just watching the highlights. Shakir, man - he was so good. And he does it every week. 

 

You can count on him for 7-8 catches a game, and his work after the catch is as good as anyone.  He routinely gets a 1 yard pass and turns it into 10-11 yards, even when it looks like there is very little blocking in front of him.
