Khalil Mack 2025 Free Agent

[Gugny]

I’m hoping Beane learned his lesson about paying has-beens more than they deserve. 

[Big Turk]

I would want an up and coming young player that we might be able to get for less than an aging overpriced vet.

They already have the old rotating DE, no need for two but I love Mack.

I would be onboard taking him for a year. I think he has just enough left to make a difference and would be a suitable, potentially affordable replacement for Von.  This would bring his career full circle.

Some perspective here.  Mack will be 34 in FEB 2025.  That means he will be 1 year older than Von was when he signed with Bills in 2022.  Mack decided to come back but previously stated he was considering retirement.  IMHO best to let him pick a warm weather climate (he is from FLA) to pay his last contract.

No thank you

Bills took a flyer on Von around the same age. It hasn’t quite worked out. And it goes against all the previous moves they typically make in FA. Players on 2nd contracts in the 25-29 age range. So I don’t see it happening..

Von won't be here. If we do what we all hope we do, I'm positive he'll retire on that. If we don't, he may still retire and if he doesn't - it's the end of the line for him here. His contract when we signed him was always viewed as a 3 year deal. And we need to free Cap Space.

 

On top of Von, Dawuane Smoot will also be a Free Agent. We have Rousseau and Epenesa (our two current starters) under contract. If the price is right, I could see Mack being someone we'd pursue to fill as an upgrade to one of those roles.

If he wants to end his career on a cheap contract in Buffalo because he's a Bills fan, then I'm all for it.  He had 6 sacks last year.  The only Bill with more was Groot.  Could be good in rotation.

No thanks.  Maybe a few years ago, but don’t want to spend the money on him he is most likely looking for.

 

Great player, outstanding career. Great back story as a UB Alum.  Not for me at this point of his career.

You dont need to say “back” story, all stories are about the past, just say story.   (Peet peeve sorry bro)

 

but seriously what a joy it would be if he came in as a third down specialist just wanting to get a final two years in here in Buffalo.   He’s younger than Von.

Trade for Maxx Crosby!

If not, get Trey Hendrickson 

[LABILLBACKER]

Absolutely not...we need Von and that contract gone. We need young pass rushers to develop.  I doubt we're extending AJ after next season so we desperately need a good pass rusher to pair with Groot.

[ControllerOfPlanetX]

Need to test him with one of these before signing..

I see trey as the best option also.

 

But we don't have that type of cash laying around.

 

Although if we find houses wallet we may.

[Mister Defense]

No thanks, as though he may do well next year, it is a big risk for any team willing to pay him over ten million.

 

The Bills, and Beane, will not repeat what was one of the worst moves of this current team--bringing in an old lineman way past his prime and dramatically overpay for him. Like Miller, one of his most important attributes was his speed, which often enabled all his other skills. Mack will be 34 soon.

 

Instead, the Bills need to follow their own philosophy, and trust the process that has made them so successful.  Use the draft and/or get a young up and coming player in free agency that they have had their eyes on.

 

They should hire Gregg Cosell as a consultant and finally nail their defensive line picks in this year's draft (and free agency).

So the back story here would be the Bills sign him in free agency before the start of next season?  🤣🤣

 

If he signed for vet minimum and Von retires, I’d consider it. Have too many upcoming FA’s on this team that need to be addressed.

Wouldn't Von's money become available?
