TREMAINE EDMUNDS WON'T COMMIT TO A RETURN TO BILLS, SEEMS BOUND FOR FREE AGENCY

[Woodman]

Re: TREMAINE EDMUNDS WON'T COMMIT

Linebacker Tremaine Edmunds didn't sound like someone keen on returning to the Buffalo Bills this offseason. Edmunds, the Bills' first-round pick in 2018, is coming off the fifth-year option of his rookie contract. He made $12.7 million last season, roughly doubling his previous NFL earnings. His deal is set to expire in March 2023 when the new league year begins.

The Bills are roughly $16 million over the salary cap, so they'll have to do plenty of contract maneuvering to meet the league requirements — let alone retain a free agent of Edmunds' quality. But in exit interviews, teams can express interest in retaining their top talents, even when they're hamstrung by the cap.

"I'm gonna let the process take shape," Edmunds told FOX Sports last week in Phoenix at an event for his agency, Athletes First. "You know what I mean? Like, you know, they've been good to me. So I definitely say thank you to the Bills for everything that they've done for me these last five years. But like I said, man, I'm just right now — I'm in the backseat."

Maybe he feels like a lot of us that he is being played wrong for his skillset? Like I've said he's a square peg they're trying to fit in a round hole.

Also, it’s public knowledge that the Bills are tight on cap space.

He's going to get more on the open market than we can afford to give him.

Personally, I say good riddance.

Bust.

Don't blame him. Good luck in Houston. We should know how to scheme at him as an opponent. If he lights it up....it's on us for the junk scheme and use.

We wasted a player with possible impact potential.

I think we are doing this on both sides of the ball.

Easy choice for him to make really.

Re: TREMAINE EDMUNDS WON'T COMMIT

Still think he'd be a lot better on the edge, especially in a hybrid 3-4.

Miller or Edmunds? I think the Bills decided last year.

He hasn't had impact, just potential.

He improved this year, made some nice plays against the Dolphins, but was largely JAG sadly.

Re: TREMAINE EDMUNDS WON'T COMMIT

If he finds a scheme where they like poor angles, bad reads and are cool with just engaging with blockers and letting the play go by is part of the plan, I’m sure he’ll do great.
