Frank’s contract was a mistake by a young GM. Frank was really good in Seattle so his drop off (aside from the 2019 playoffs) was pretty frustrating.

However there was nothing we could do. The contract was paying him this and next year regardless dude to dead money. Yes they have to pay him more money next year, but they equaled that by taking a lot of his cap number this year.

It is what it is

Yea bringing back Frank Clark wasn't a good financial decision.

They should've paid top dollar for one of the 30+ year old pass rushers though! That would've been a BRILLIANT one!

I feel like we try to fix the tackle positions and edge rush every year.

Your feelings aren't reality.

RT has been a revolving door the past couple of years. It sounds like there is a push to play Niang again. They're probably going to have to either draft or acquire a RT next year.

Veach's answer at LT was Brown. That hasn't and will not work out. He probably won't be here next year. They're going to look for another LT.

It seemed like there was also a big push on this board to try to trade for an edge rusher like Jerry Hughes, Ngakoue etc.. before the trade deadline hit. Our edges don't sack the quarterback.

OT wasn't even an issue until a couple years ago. They spent literally 1 offseason "trying to fix it", but you "feel" like they've tried to fix it "every year".

EDGE rush has been mostly short term fixes the last few years until they invested a 1st round pick this year.

Jerry Hughes wasn't even an option, as the Texans said they weren't going to trade him. There's also nothing that says Ngakoue was on the trade block either.

Either way, those moves also would've been short term fixes as well.

The Bills, who everybody loves to suck their dick, have invested 3 early picks on their DL, and STILL felt the need to go out and pay top dollar for Von Miller who is now out for the season.

It's almost as if finding long term solutions at edge rusher isn't easy when you're picking late every single year.

Clark was literally as easy an option to take as any since he was going to count almost the same against the cap whether he was here or not.

We’re going to be in year 3 post-Schwartz and Fisher trying to figure out the tackle spots.

The Von thing was a bad blow to the Bills, but without him they don’t beat us. Can you imagine if we had someone like Ngakoue? Iirc we were interested in Zdarius Smith but we’re negotiating with Tyreek at the time.

I feel like we go after someone like that this offseason. At least I hope we do.

Schwartz sudden injury issue and retirement was out of the blue. They had Niang on the roster to replace him and he played most of last season before getting hurt in the end of the season. Wylie has been there since.

OBJ was supposed to be the answer at LT, it didnt work as expected.

Thats not exactly a revolving door.

.

Haven't you heard?? Fisher and Schwartz are coming back here.. Opps… Just Schwartz then…

He's counting for $10m on next year's cap as well because of his new deal. Whether he's here or not.

$9 milllion in dead money but $19 million saved. It’s really not as big of a deal as you’re making.

We didn’t exactly have money to spend last offseason

Soooo . . . no news on Skyy, I guess. Had to scroll up to see what thread I was in.

A thrown ball to Skyy's hands disappear like an M&M in Brooke's mouth. Those gloves are HUGE
