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.

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.

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.

Keep Benford and Bernard.

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

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.

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.
